license to meme

OPEN THE DOOR THIS IS THE POLICE
we detected use of an unlicensed pepe the frog meme on the premises.

>Low-key want it to happen so it'll give an excuse for every country to leave EU or not to join

Great im gonna be stuck with canucks and aussies. Is there a worse fate.

Not in real countries

>Europeans will be banned from using the internet in a meaningful way

Finally the EU is doing something right.

Those are working papers which show different amendment tabled by different MEPs, shown next to amendments proposed by the Commission. Should we discuss every random idea each MEP proposes in an amendment?

You don't know if any of those amendments are going to get adopted.

>24 - there should be some mechanism for managing licensing and payments to copyright holders

>This protection does not extend to acts of hyperlinking which do not constitute communication to the publi
So they want hyperlinking to be treated like usage of copyrighted content? But what if you link to an article behind a paywall? See? This is just a very general proposal. It will take years to clarify what this means, what the implications are etc. This simple directive proposal by the EU Commission only lays out some general preamble principles. It's not a thoroughgoing package.

>where information society service providers store and provide access to the public to copyright protected works or other subject-matter uploaded by their users, thereby going beyond the mere provision of physical facilities and performing an act of communication to the public, they are obliged to conclude licensing agreements with rightholders, unless they are eligible for the liability exemption
Yes, this applies to big data hosters like Youtube and Spotify, as I said. If you post memes on a site like Jow Forums where content gets pruned after a few hours, you don't qualify under this directive as a content provider, because your storage is temporary. And your content is not registered as copyrighted for licensing.

>information society service providers storing and providing access to the public to large amounts of copyright protected works or other subject-matter uploaded by their users should take appropriate and proportionate measures to ensure protection of works or other subject-matter, such as implementing effective technologies
See? They mention "large amounts of copyrighted protected works".

please fucking pass, the shit storm would be glorious, and theyd have nowhere to post it!

>(39)Collaboration between information society service providers storing and providing access to the public to large amounts of copyright protected works or other subject-matter uploaded by their users and rightholders is essential for the functioning of technologies, such as content recognition technologies.

Again, they emphasise very clearly this directive is only meant to regulate those online services which store and share copyrighted content in "large amounts". This obviously will not apply to a site like Jow Forums whose total active content is a mere 1 Terrabyte. It's meant for sites like Youtube.

Also, keep in mind this is a *proposal* for a _directive_. And it's in the first reading stage. Meaning it's only the first form of the text as it enters parliamentary debate in first reading. Since it's a directive, it will not say how you should implement it, it will leave lots of details out and let each country decide on details of implementation. Also, the EU legislative process is really really long, it will take years before this will be passed into law. It might go to second reading if they don't reach an agreement.

Since what we're seeing here is amendments that were tabled by MEPs, it hasn't even reached the plenary vote, I suppose. So they will have to debate it in the specialised committees first, hold a vote on each amendment there, and then send the whole thing to the plenary.

It's a loooong process. We'll see how it goes.

I don't expect any big changes from what we have now, except maybe for sites like Youtube, Spotify, Facebook etc.
