A 16% error rate in signatures would seem unusual to me but there's nothing wrong with more people becoming aware of our cause and more Europeans signing onto the initiative.
- I would point out that this is quite an unusual situation for a petition, its gotten international attention, and alot of non europeans are wanting this, so best be on the safe side.
  
  Plus a lot of trolls on 4Chan added fake signatures
Malta, Cyrprus and Luxembourg must be under a rock. None of those countries have passed their threshold.
- Keep in mind the base minimum threshold is 4230 per country smaller than a certain size.
  So currently as a percentage of total population, more Maltans have signed than Germans, despite them not passing the threshold yet. I wouldn't consider them uninformed.
- It's okay, they're all just busy
  Malta is currently occupied with tax fraud, Cyprus with Greeks and Turks infighting and Luxembourgh by Germans
We should totally expand this to more online software like Google keep and Spotify.
- Spotify would be a tricky one because there's no way you'd magically keep access to licensed material just because the company that was providing convenient access which held rhe licensing poofed.
  Yes, that does point at a bigger problem with paying for access to content that one still does not own in any way.
Now it is past 1.3M!
