EU Take censorship of the internet to the next level

Razzy_85

https://www.theverge.com/2018/9/12/17849868/eu-internet-copyright-reform-article-11-13-approved

 

I Just can't even fathom the depth of abuse this is going to be open to. I know this probably goes against the rules of the forum but I just can't even begin to form an opinion that is eloquent enough for this forum without wanting to go to Brussels and start banging unelected idiots heads together.

 

A couple snipits from the article;

 

Quote

The most important parts of this are Articles 11 and 13. Article 11 is intended to give publishers and papers a way to make money when companies like Google link to their stories, allowing them to demand paid licenses. Article 13 requires certain platforms like YouTube and Facebook stop users sharing unlicensed copyrighted material.

Critics of the Copyright Directive say these provisions are disastrous. In the case of Article 11, they note that attempts to “tax” platforms like Google News when they share articles have repeatedly failed, and that the system would be ripe to abuse by copyright trolls.

Quote

Article 13, they say, is even worse. The legislation requires that platforms work with rightsholders to stop users uploading copyrighted content. The only way to do so would be to scan all data being uploaded to sites like YouTube and Facebook. This would create an incredible burden for small platforms, and could be used as a mechanism for widespread censorship. This is why figures like Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales and World Wide Web inventor Tim Berners-Lee came out so strongly against the copyright directive.

The final vote for it is in Januray but going by the usual EU b******* I wouldn't get your hopes up for them to come to any form of commmon sense.

 

Another article from The Register about it.

this was a vote for what should be brought forth to the negotiation table for a new bill to pass, this isnt law. not even close. im no expert but thats what i have gathered so far.

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

Correct it's the bill but going by past EU bills and the vote count then it's unlikely to be stopped.

to be fair, no where else in the world can  you post others work and get paid for it with no repercussions.    My personal opinion is that the creator(s) should get some of the ad revenue, or revenue from data sales.  thats the only reason google post it in the first place.

was stopped because of articles 11 and 13 last time, doubt enough people changed their minds.

that how the law will look, but it not final version of it 

article 11 and 13 were both brought forward for a new plan of the build which will then be put up for vote, much can still change and personally i doubt it will pass if it still has the original versions of those articles in it. there are quite a few bad things, but also a lot of good stuff. this wasent voted through as law and that vote is sometime next year when a new bill has been negotiated. this really isnt as bad as some make it out to be, but if it passes like this it would probably be a disaster yes

Yes this is the revised version as the previous was knocked back, now it's sailed through with little objection (240+ votes is little objection by EU standards)

not as i understand it, this was just a round of what should be brought forth to be accepted into the bill that will then be voted on. there is still finishing work and another vote before its passed as law

For those in the EU, the final text isn't approved yet, so nothing changed really

Technically true, but in practice they're very likely to pass it now. They go through a round of negotiations with the Commission and EU Council, but since those two were pushing for these changes, don't expect the final bill to be substantially different from what was approved today.

 

And the final vote is also very likely to succeed.

It's not final per se, but it has passed by far the biggest hurdle.

 

Quote

Today’s vote is an important next step but it’s not the end of the lawmaking process. The Copyright Directive and the agreed amendments will now enter the stage of trilogue negotiations with the EU Council and Commission.

 

The result of these private discussions will determine the final text the European Parliament will have to vote on early next year. In most cases, the result of the trilogue negotiations is confirmed, but when that’s not the case the entire process of changes, negotiations, and a vote, starts over.

While I honestly think it's acceptable for a creator to be profitable in his work, it should have severely limited scope. Carbon copies of art should be covered, but only for a limited period of time. Afterwards, it becomes public domain. A work of art shouldn't profitable over 100 years and only the original work, and its derivatives by the original author, should have an appreciable return. 

 

I would hope that someone comes forward to flood the Internet with Mickey Mouse icons across thousands of websites and millions of users. Enforcement of this is ridiculous and gives a creator, or someone pretending, too much control of his work. 

 

I'd also like to see a provision added for news articles as those aren't created except for the opinion portion. Articles should not be protected for use when discussing in a video or paper. Citation is as far as respect should go here.

IF you can do anything at all even with the slightest effect, please help to kill and disband the EU, im no anarchist but we will manage to live off without the fucking union just fine like all the other billions of people in the world.

The EU has long gone past its attributes and original reason we created the union and now has become a tyranical regime led by corporations and elitists, people have no control over it anymore, its a genius union if you think about it, no one elects or can protest against these garbage laws they are just forced down our throats.

These kinds of posts are missing one major point: It's not like these initiatives would not be taking place if the EU did not exist. The EU is simply doing what its member states want, overall.

It's no different in the EU. In fact, this norm would indeed set the EU apart from "everywhere else" -at least for the time being.

The discussion is not about the existence of copyright, though. It's about particular mechanisms to enforce it, which include denying the existence of "open platforms" that serve just as a medium for third parties (anyone hosting is directly responsible for anything uploaded by third parties, no such thing as "user content"; pre-emptive scanning of any uploads for copyright infringement, rather than copyright strikes after the fact, opening the door to "copyright block" all sorts of things).

Basically, your posts are not your posts, are LMG's posts, and LMG should scan everything you post and upload for copyright infringement before making it public.

Of course, bomb them for the things they did right, life forcing notification of the abuse most websites subject us to, and make most of the garbage "opt-in" instead of "opt-out", that surely will ruin the internet... 9_9

Exactly. This isn't anything else than what the different lobbies (SGAE, GEMA, etc) push for in each country, taken to the EU level.

Meh.

The one really bad thing I can see coming of this is me not being able to post anything on websites because I don't want to run a third party upload filter that tracks me. But the web is already horrible about that. Case in point, this piece of shit website. Okay, that's not entirely fair, it does still function with the 3rd party resources blocked, which is better than a lot of other websites, but still, it makes me put in effort to not be tracked by amazon, google, facebook, PIA ( oh, the irony!) and discord and makes me unwilling to visit it on my phone, which doesn't support my privacy salvaging addon stack.
