EU-COPYRIGHT: A game plan against copyright extension (link): There is concern about a Commission proposal to extend the term of copyright - the EP voted for it in May 2009 before the last election and it was blocked then in the Council - now the Hungarian Council Presidency is trying to revive the proposal in the Council and get it adopted quickly by means of having the Council adopt the EP's first reading opinion: See: Proposal for a Directive amending Directive 2006/116/EC on the term of protection of copyright and related rights - Examination of the EP's position at first reading (pdf)
