    Well, we can criticize all we want using the best arguments but in the end it doesn' matter - MPs will vote on anything when you scream bs like "the press will die" and "artists are starving"

    What Europeans expect from us is clear: No . with no restrictions. If we fail to deliver that, we risk losing all the positive elements of the Copyright Directive that would really bring a benefit to creators.
