President Ramaphosa should sign Copyright Amendment bill by Douglas Scott
He gives the example Sweden. In 2017 Wikimedia Sweden lost always cause what costed them $89,00. Very logical, because in all that continental copyright issues it is the same, a judge follows blind the local laws and you have to pay the lost of the licence, a fine and the costs of the court. A complete useless law case because the judge has not any possibility other than to follow the law, and a CC licence makes the original licence worthless. So you have to reimburse the original license plus, plus, plus. It is a kind of supermarkt bill, when you are outside shop you are always thinking so much money? But what did I buy?
And wiki political terms as free knowledge creators such as Wikipedia editors, Sweden where the copyright law should be out of date doesn't help anyone forward. Or of unintentional censorship through bureaucracy. Because that is nice for the people at home but for the rest of the people including lawmakers just a opinion. And I really doubt if it is allowed to clame faire use if you put something under a CC license with a commercial part in it. But as far asI understand South Africa has just like Europe no far use, wonder if they will change that.
But maybe it is a idea to send Julia Reda, Mdd, Romaine and the complete Brussels Advocating Group to Cape Town. Yeh, change it in the "Cape Town Advocating Group". Take all the superfluous pirate flags to Cape town, Start a South African Pirate Party, a few SanFanBans, a bit of Twitter power of a few Wiki leading persons, and a few blog post of the talented legal department of WMF, and you will be supriced how that works out!
And, not to forget to mention, those wiki guys don't return to our social system, and that is really good news for the tax payers here! They have found a new employment! A win-win situation!
