Hi everyone,
For those of you involved in EU copyright reform discussion, I think this is alarming news!
KEA is a consultancy agency, working directly with the European Commission for cultural and creative policies. They are a very recognized and respected agency, with a lot of influence in cultural affairs. I believe there should be some contact with them. I can get the contact of one of their main partners, Philippe Kern (he's a very cool guy but I've talked to him about copyright once, before the reform discussion, and he's very fervent about the need to reinforce it).
Anyway, I really think it is important to approach these organizations directly.
My life is kinda chaotic at the moment so I don't really have time to follow up on this now. But I am happy to help in whatever way I can!
Best,
Fátima

On 14 September 2016, the European Commission (EC) unleashed its proposal for a new Directive on copyright in the framework of the Digital Single Market strategy, announced by the Juncker Commission in May 2015.

KEA identifies four main novelties in the draft proposal:
  • a new intellectual property right to the benefit of news publishers;
  • measures to address the so-called ‘value gap’ between music usage on social networks and effective remuneration to artists;
  • contractual transparency in relation to digital usage and artists’ contracts;
  • and finally measures to encourage streamlining of licensing practices.
Copyright policy is cultural policy, and from a cultural policy perspective the no-nonsense approach of the European Commission should be welcomed. Copyright is no longer regarded as the culprit for bottlenecks in the Single Market; now, priority is given to improve its exercise to take into account the specifics of a market fragmented in diverse cultures and languages. Copyright is a fundamental tool that enables exchanges of cultural artefacts: it provides a mechanism to negotiate transaction terms with users, notably internet service providers, whose services depend to a large extent on the availability of attractive content such as music, video, literature, fashion or design (...)
