Dear Antonio Tajani,
Please accept the signatures from the petition against article 13 [1].1
In 2014 I contributed to the Public Consultation on the review of the EU copyright rules [2].2
I publish music online, I write online, I publish Free Software, and I share links to news.
Last month I wrote to my representatives in JURI and asked them to preserve internet freedom. 15 of them nontheless voted to destroy online freedom. I cannot understand how they could vote for a system which will enforce the widespread establishment of technologies which can form the foundation for censorship which lets chinese censorship appear like a paradise of free speech.
Therefore I now beg you to accept the signatures from the petition against article 13.
Please let the voices of the European citizens be heard. Please help us preserve the Europe we love.
The best of wishes,
Dr. Arne Babenhauserheide
