Hi, everyone.
I don't know if you have seen the EU Commission Digital Agenda, released 
two days ago:
http://ec.europa.eu/information_society/digital-agenda/index_en.htm

but there is part, which is dedicated to copyright, which I challenged 
in an op-ed at EurActive:
http://www.euractiv.com/en/infosociety/open-letter-digital-agenda-commissioner-neelie-kroes-analysis-494398

Indeed, the editors have cut the last sentence from the paragraph on 
copyright, I am including it below in brackets for your reference:

The models are there, existing, it is the copyright holders, who don't 
want the new, digital deals. [And, of course, the Digital Agenda does 
not address the fact that there is enormous volume of content, which is 
distributed freely under GPL or Creative Commons license, which also 
shows a potential way to deal with copyright.]


best,
veni
