PPI Official Statement: Supporting the Fight Against the EU Copyright Directive

For the last several weeks, activists all over the world have been mobilizing against the EU’s proposed Directive on Copyright in the Digital Single Market, and the threats it poses to internet freedom and civil liberties, specifically through Articles 11 and 13.    This mobilization is working under a couple of different names, including ‘Save Your Internet’ and ‘Stop ACTA2’.
