More than 100,000 people\u2014and counting\u2014are demanding Internet-friendly copyright laws in the EU<\/i><\/h3>\n

117,000 activists.<\/p>\n

12,000 tweets to Members of the European Parliament (MEPs).<\/p>\n

Europe has been Paperstormed<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, Mozilla and our friends at Moniker launched Paperstorm.it<\/a>, a digital advocacy tool that urges EU policymakers to update copyright laws for the Internet age.<\/p>\n

Paperstorm.it<\/a> users drop digital flyers onto maps of European landmarks, like the Eiffel Tower and the Reichstag Building in Berlin. When users drop a certain amount, they trigger impassioned tweets to European lawmakers:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cWe built Paperstorm as a fun (and mildly addictive) way for Internet users to learn about and engage with a serious issue: the EU\u2019s outdated copyright laws,\u201d says Mozilla\u2019s Brett Gaylor, one of Paperstorm\u2019s creators.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Parliament has a unique opportunity to reform copyright,\u201d says Raegan MacDonald, Mozilla\u2019s Senior EU Policy Manager. \u201cWe hope this campaign served as a reminder that EU citizens want a modern framework that will promote \u2014 not hinder \u2014 innovation and creativity online. The success of this reform hinges on whether the interests of these citizens \u2014 whether creators, innovators, teachers, librarians, or anyone who uses the internet \u2014 are truly taken into account in the negotiations.\u201d<\/p>\n

Currently, lawmakers are crafting amendments to the proposal for a new copyright law, a process that will end this year. Now is the time to make an impact. And we are.<\/p>\n

Over the last two months, more than 100,000 Internet users visited Paperstorm.it<\/a>. They sent 12,000 tweets to key MEPs, like France\u2019s Jean-Marie Cavada, Germany\u2019s Angelika Niebler, and Lithuania\u2019s Antanas Guoga. In total, Paperstormers contacted 13 MEPs in 10 countries: Austria, France, Germany, Italy, Lithuania, Malta, Poland, Romania, Sweden and the UK.<\/p>\n

Then, we created custom MEP figurines inside Paperstorm snowglobes. A Mozilla community member from Italy hand-delivered these snowglobes right to MEPs offices in Brussels, alongside a letter urging a balanced copyright reform for the digital age. Here\u2019s the proof:<\/p>\n

Thanks for clicking. We\u2019re looking forward to what\u2019s ahead: 100,000,000 clicks\u2014and common-sense copyright laws for the Internet age.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
