European Union Copyright Directive Gets Final Green Light - Publishing Perspectives

Panzer was taking a well-deserved nap when he was shaken from his kitty bed by a hullabaloo of noise coming from the Catosphere. Jumping into the Panzermobile he followed the noise to the Publishing Perspectives site. There with no digging at all he found a post about the EU's copyright directive.

Post author Porter Anderson says the European Union (EU) Council has passed the Copyright Directive. The voting members were not in total agreement however. Nineteen of the EU member-states voted to pass the Directive, six voted against it and three abstained. Panzer told you about the EU Parliament vote on March 25 which passed the Directive and moved it on for the Council vote. There are links included in the post for more information concerning the Directive.

I have watch where I step from now on.

Panzer says, "With the new rules in place this little kitty will have to be very careful about publishing news from EU countries."

Note: This is a l-o-n-g post. Bring a thermos of tea and a half dozen frosted chocolate muffins.
