:) isn't that a contradiction?
Rather than wait and see what they come up with, I think we should get to work on the committee.

JURI produced a FAQ about the directive:
http://europa.eu.int/comm/internal_market/en/indprop/comp/02-32.htm

It's all lies.

Arlene McCarthy is trying to convince the MEPs that this directive doesn't change much really. She implys that we are just ignorant protesters. We must show the MEPs that we are well informed, capable citizens, worth listening to. (not just frightened sheep following leaders with agendas)

The committee (JURI) endorsed the original directive by a 64% majority. This is an unusually small majority for a committee vote, it's reasonable to think we can swing a few committee members and get a directive we really want.
