Reportage: Do you speak CC?

The reform proposal on the table will not bring clearer and easier rules for creators, researchers, and everyone else using copyrighted works in education. What is more, the proposal introduces the so-called linking tax in Article 11, whereas Article 13 proposes solutions that faced mass opposition with ACTA.
