Julia Reda: Correcting Copywrongs

On Monday Jan 12th we featured an article from TorrentFreak by Rick Falkvinge “In Europe, Pirates Are Writing The Copyright Law” in which Falkvinge discusses the success of the Pirate Party movement and in particular the work of MEP Julia Read.

Today we feature a comprehensive talk on the state of EU copyright reform by Julia Read which took place at 31c3.
