This whole situation boggles my mind. I don't understand how we can have people in the government who make up these sort of articles. It's like they don't use the internet, ever. I understand the need (or want) to protect copyrights. I definitely think there's a lot of issues with that, but the way they're doing this just clearly shows they did not think through the effects of this. It is clear to me that this was made with illegal downloads in mind, so they can shut down torrent websites who previously got away with saying We're not uploading this stuff, it's our users. This article won't stop this anyway. People will always find a way to get around it. Not to mention, most people who download movies or games were never going to pay for them in the first place.

Figures Susan would be so weak. She could have simply said we, as in youtube, will not make ourselves available to citizens in your country if this law is passed due to legal risks. Instead, she uses definitions and phrases that the common individual doesn't understand. Therefore her statements fall flat and have no significance towards said common individuals. Laws change through the will of the people THEN through elected officials. Not the other way around. Her simply saying this law makes Youtube go bye is enough to get most citizens to oppose it, thus forcing elected officials to go towards the will of the people. She does not do this, she is inept.

I don't really have the education to properly describe my idea but i have a feeling blockchain technology might be the answer to current copyright issues as well as article 13. If YouTube could implement a system where you owned the content you uploaded and held sole access to it similarly to how Bitcoin is held in unique wallets, where transactions (reuploads) are indexed for the public and individuals private keys are what grants access to stand of income earned by each unique video. I don't know if anyone will understand this or if I'm even making sense but in my head it works.

Why don't the EUCD just mandate a filter, that they themselves have to make? Then the cost is on them, the viability of the filter to protect copyrighted material is on them, all each company has to do is download and add it to their upload system (code library, module, etc. Then if large companies want to optimise that filter they can make suggestions or code updates that can be reviewed by the EUCD and added to later versions. Then all they have to do is stipulate that companies must check for an updated version every X months or annually (or automate this process.

Google bluffing? Haha, no we had this in Germany already. Youtube blocked almost all Musicvideos for Germany from 2009-2016, because of the fight with the GEMA (German equivalent to the RIAA. Also there was the thing with the bill for ancillary copyright for press publishers in 2013. It stated that News aggregation sites must pay news sites for publishing snippets on links to articles. Google just said either we get the rights for snippets for free or we stop publishing you on Google news. All news-sites gave in, because google brings in most of the traffic.

In all cases, if this passes and if- and ONLY if- the EU and Voss refuses to back down and repeal it or cuts off all further connection to the outside world aka the people they swore to appeal to. sigh well, there's only two alternate options left: either we ignite a all-out rebellion/civil war against them or if that gets banned then. ugh, I have no other way to say this without making myself look like a reincarnated Stalin but we have to betray our own humanity and become the terrorists ourselves. by dropping the atomic bomb on Brussels itself.

I probably lost my job because of Article 13. In short, I'm working as a web developer for a site that would let users write articles, but since they would also be able to post images in those articles, the site would be affected by Article 13, and would require an upload filter, which my boss can't afford. He was just made aware of how the site could be affected, so now development has stopped, until we figure out what to do, but for now I'm without a job, and it really sucks.

I can, and have, leave the exact same comments generic happy comments as anyone else but I get only as much attention as a post I leave on facebook. I think your strategy is that the less attention you show me the more unimportant you think I will feel there fore making me feel NORMAL, you've made too many slip ups. I'm done playing this game, its time to see if a shotgun barrel fits in my mouth, thats the only way to end this movie.
