Legislative reform is slow. Publishing is not on hold while we wait. #RightsRetention is what researchers and institutions can do right now to keep control of their own work and to open access without waiting for anyone’s permission.

Libraries support learning, from formal education to lifelong learners. Yet EU education exceptions for digital materials only cover formal institutions. Extend these provisions to libraries.

Millions of works sit on shelves but can’t be shared. Publishers cease offering titles before libraries no longer need them. Enabling access doesn't lead to lost sales of out-of-print titles.

Librarians, researchers, and library associations: silence gets legislated around. If you don't speak up, someone else will speak for you. Quiet loses. Loud wins.

Europe wants an #AI ecosystem that serves science, #research and the public. It also has a #copyright framework being pulled in the opposite direction. What is at stake is not just access to knowledge, but Europe's ability to compete.

The EU's highest court recognised e-Lending as legitimate in 2016. A ruling never codified into law. Libraries still cannot acquire & lend e-Books on the same terms as physical books. Fix this.

When information markets work, they support education, research & access to knowledge. When too much power rests with a few players, libraries & their users pay the price. Time to investigate.
