Last spring, a coalition of young European political activists adopted this motion opposing the upload filters and link taxes in the new Copyright Directive, which the EU Parliament is about to vote on. With only days to go before that vote -- it'll probably happen on Tuesday the 26th at 12:30 PM, after a debate that starts at 9AM CET, following a day of mass, EU-wide street demonstrations -- -- the youth coalition have reminded their adult colleagues in the Socialist, Conservative, Green and Liberal Blocs that "A free and open internet is crucial for who we are and will define the generations coming after us." Furthermore, the protection of creators has not been substantially strengthened and even worsened in some regards.
