What Does "Copyfight" Mean?

To be more precise, the Dutch parliament voted for the third time on this issue; the second time, the motion was the same, but its opponents outnumbered the proponents. No-one has switched sides: rather, it was one of those votes where you had to be there in person to be able to vote.
In other words, support for this motion is weak, and if the minister disregards it, I doubt parliament will punish him for it.
It's more likely that the position of the Danish parliament was decisive. See http://wiki.ffii.org/Cons050211En.
