4/ MEPs should be cautious of adopting language in favour of these #FairShare #NetworkFees demands in the @EP_Economics Committee 'Competition policy 2022' report in Plenary, otherwise they might unwillingly play into the cards of Big Telcos, and harm users and #NetNeutrality!
3/ As we explain in our response to the EC's exploratory consultation: service providers do not generate traffic, users do. If Big Telcos obtain what they call for by asking for #FairShare #NetworkFees, users will bear the cost, as will media plurality

2/ This ignores that:
#️⃣ the EC is still holding an exploratory consultation (running until 19 May!);
#️⃣ @BERECeuropaeu found no need to overhaul the current working model of the Internet; and
#️⃣ independent experts and academics have cautioned against #NetworkFees
1/ Last week, @EP_Economics adopted MEP @repasi his Competition Policy 2022 report - to be voted in the Plenary session of 30 May-1 June or the week of 12 June. Big Telcos' calls for #NetworkFees from 'large traffic generators' slipped into the amendments

Welcome! You are invited to join a meeting: KR21 Webinar - Enabling the Reuse of the Scholarly Publication: Modus operandi et modus desiderandi . After registering, you will receive a confirmation email about joining the meeting.

Are you passionate about Open Access and the right to knowledge for all? LIBER and SPARC Europe are co-organizing a webinar to share research findings from the KR21 project! The Knowledge Rights 21 (KR21) programme aims to reform copyright policy and practice in Europe to ensure that everyone has the right to knowledge. In this webinar, you will learn about the preliminary findings of two KR21 projects, Project Zero and Project Retain, and how they help pave the way to Open Access. We invite the community of research libraries to open a dialogue among Open Science stakeholders about the options, good practices, lessons learnt, challenges and impact of two legal instruments: Secondary Publishing Rights (SPR) and Rights Retention and Open Licensing. Our expert speakers will share valuable insights and real-world examples of how these mechanisms have been applied around Europe.

I'm skeptical about the methodology, and the headline is slightly misleading, but interesting findings:

Almost 60% of musicians are already using AI in their productions, study suggests. https://www.musicradar.com/news/musicians-already-using-ai

Almost 60% of musicians are already using AI in their productions, study suggests

28.5% say that they’ll never use it, though
