Do Last Week's European Copyright Votes Show Publishers Have Captured European Politics?

lterrat's bookmarks 2017-07-18

Summary:

"The developments in the CULT, ITRE and JURI committees last week were disappointing, but they do not determine the outcome of this battle. More decisive will be the votes of the Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs (LIBE) Committee in September, followed by negotiations around the principal report in the JURI Committee and its final vote on October 10. Either way, by year's end we will know whether European politicians have been utterly captured by their powerful publishing lobby, or whether the European Parliament still effectively represents the voices of ordinary European citizens."
