All you wonderful people, you have helped #SaveYourInternet.
Thank you so much to all of you involved directly and indirectly, supporting this by calling, mailing, talking, or just rooting for the right outcome.
Internet is not to be messed with.
They will now say that we were all paid by Google. They will all say that this was Facebook and Twitter lobbying.
But we know otherwise! We have been there. We've seen it happen.
We made it happen.
This is how you change the world for the better.
There are going to be analyses now. How the French MEPs by and large supported #Art11 and #Art13; how Wikipedia's black-out was a crucial push.
But we need to focus on the future. We need to put together a good Copyright Directive now, and get it voted in in September.
We will not fix everything. But there are things we can fix. And we will all be called upon again during this time to fix the things we can.
We can do it. The Internet has spoken, and it was hard to ignore.
I quote @Senficon from birdsite now:
Great success: Your protests have worked! The European Parliament has sent the copyright law back to the drawing board. All MEPs will get to vote on #uploadfilters and the #linktax September 10–13. Now let's keep up the pressure to make sure we #SaveYourInternet!

THIS IS IMPORTANT!
We need people to call their MEPs. Most importantly:
- Romanian S&D:

- Romanian EPP:
http://www.europarl.europa.eu/meps/en/search.html?country=RO&politicalGroup=4269
- British S&D:
http://www.europarl.europa.eu/meps/en/search.html?country=GB&politicalGroup=4280
- British ECR:

- Italian S&D:

- Polish EPP:

Please report back (in a private message, preferably) what they say! This would help us a LOT!

People like Julia Reda could be fixing the underlying problems of copyright law in EU. I could be focusing on helping journalists stay safe and uncover corruption and organized crime.
Many other people could be spending their time way more productively.
Instead, we need to focus on this bullcrap so that people who can't even into Internets don't break our main creative outlet, communication channel, our main knowledge base.
Because Axel Springer told them to.
