[Martin Krechmer, CREATe, Link] A new academic statement has been released today in anticipation of the plenary vote in the European Parliament on the Copyright in the Digital Single Market Directive, scheduled for 5 July, 12:00.

This latest statement attempts to address directly some of the misinformation that is circulating in a heavily lobbied environment.
