   This will come up for another vote in January. i'll be honest, this is likely to be a pro forma exercise. It's almost inconceivable that the whole #CopyrightDirective will be voted down. But so long as there's even a tiny chance we can save Europe from this lunacy, we'll fight.

     We'll fight in Europe's courts, too: there's no way that asking multinational corporations to send all of our communications to American data-centres to be analysed by algorithms and arbitrarily censored passes European constitutional muster.

     We'll fight in the 28 European parliaments when they sit to make national legislation.

     We'll fight in the upcoming elections.

     Hell, even if we'd won tonight's fight, we'd have to keep fighting.
