Wikipedia si riaccende, dopo la bocciatura della legge sul copyright

[From Google Translate] Wikipedia comes back on after rejection of copyright law

Yesterday we voted on and rejected the proposal, which will now continue its procedure in Parliament with modifications and amendments.

A couple of days ago, Wikipediaâs initiative of self-education in Italy brought the European Parliamentâs discussions on copyright back onto the front pages of the newspapers. Yesterday, the EU voted and rejected the new directive, effectively leaving a situation that many believe only facilitates the web giants.

"We defend an open network - The proposal for a directive on copyright jeopardises the values, culture and ecosystem on which Wikipedia depends. On 5 July we ask all Members of the European Parliament to vote against it and allow a democratic debate", we read a few days ago when entering the Italian site of Wikipedia, which yesterday unlocked all the content, again visible to Italian users.

The protest, in short, is over.
