Last chance b4 links & memes will be taxed!

So, this is it boys.
Tomorrow, on 4th of July, the European Parliament will be voting on the notorious new Internet Filtering directive, that includes the feared Articles #11 and 13.

>WTF is this shit, and how's it vidya related ??
These articles pretty much demand all European countries to place automated filters on all Internet traffic, designed to spot if an user's trying to upload any kind of copyrighted or licensed material on-line. If the user does not have a permission from all the authors of the content, his upload is either HALTED, or TAXED. Similarly, the owners of any content can block and control people's access to their material as they please.

This crap would practically destroy the right of "Fair Use", meaning all fan-art, remixes, video reviews & LPs, even online discussions about copyrighted stuff and memeing would technically become impossible. It'd also obviously mean that folks on social media services could no longer just link to / directly post things they've read or seen on the net.

tl;dr: say bye bye to 4chans, bros.

>LOL EUROPOORS! I'M A BURGER! :^)
Just like the GDPR, this could very likely affect ALL people in the world, more or less.
You should be worried.

>WTF can we do now?
You can spread the word about this mess, and contact your MEPs through this site's forms and links:

FYI, this Directive passed the first-stage earlier last month, the vote of the JURY, but just by ONE (1) vote. Some fishy EU politicians have been pushing this shit forwards with suspicious desperation and haste now, probably because the public would obviously resist it.
There's a chance that the Parliament-wide voting will shoot down the directive, but better safe than sorry.

>GDPR
That one is no bad thing.
That some companies couldn't cope with it in time (and decided to block Europeans) is primarily their own fault.

So please don't bring it up, it lowers the feel of urgency with regard to this garbage.

Just how many votes is there?
Last time I checked, it always went Juri -> Parliament, and the latter was supposed to take place on 4th or 5th July.

Here's the entire Article 13 to read, if the law-fags are interested:

Yes, GDPR was not a bad thing for consumers. However, it is a living example that the EU's shit can and most likely will affect everyone in the end.

The A#13 makes the NN seem like an elementary school project in comparison.

we can only hope for a internet without Europeans

rip in piss

Finally, we really need to limit the number of cucks around here

>>The mass media does not even write about this
>Welp, we're fucked!

They do cover it, but rather in support, since it extends that garbage called "Leistungsschutzrecht" to the European scale.
>"It simply didn't work, because Germany is too small!"

Glad that this shit's finally getting some attention. EU's been trying to slip in some shady rules in recent years, and keep everyone hush-hush about the matter.
Not only that, but they also hate when their own research bites them in the arse. Pic very related.

One (1) of my local news papers wrote a fairly pessimistic article anouth this. A day after the first vote passed. Most likely only because I tipped them with links and all.

so we already live in skynet huh?

But I thought you guys needed the EU to survive. Isn't that why you were laughing at Brexit? This is a good thing

why the fuck are our jewish overcucks over here eurocuckistan so brainded?

We prayed for a cleansing of the americans from the internet with SOPA, and then again with net neutrality, but it never happened. It will never happen with GDPR either. It's just hyped and fearmongering led by companies like Google but through proxies to disguise their involvement. Legislation like this won't have any of the effects they claim but it will affect Google and other's core business which is largely based on copyright infringement.

more like in the Iraq's colony: 1984 edition.

All you Euroniggers do is obsess over the U.S. and talk shit about us like you have a quota to meet, and then you are always the ones who do retarded shit like giving up all of your rights and welcoming replacement level numbers of brown and black Muslims who hate you. Good luck, but you should probably be out in the street with a sign reminding your men that they have testicles for a reason.

>can't never discuss, post a pic, meme, complain, upload videos, do a fanart, make a R34 pic, etc. again about something with copyright again
This is some serious shit guys. If this happens then it would be a 3rd try in the US (and maybe the rest of America) to apply this.

What exactly is gonna happen? I can't into law.

Instead of REEE'ing like an autist and using cruise control for cool like a 11 year old, how about you show me some proofs, and try to simultaneously every single article and analysis I've seen on the subject matter?

From where I'm standing, your take seems awfully naive and optimistic. This is EU we are talking about; it would not be the first time they fuck shit up for every one.

oh yeah, careful now the cyberpolice might catch you, you filthy pirate. There will be cyber police monitoring everyone's every move and sending reports and fines all the time, of course the EU has nothin better to do with its time than to finance an imaginary cyber task force/

>FCC ever doing anything
Will NEVER happen. Reddit has been screeching about this thing for about a year now as if the effects were immediate.

The wild west days of the internet are over. People finally figured out that there's money to be made and everyone wants a piece. The big companies moved in and now the governments of the world are following.

Uhh, mate? The directive literally ignores the existent of non-profitable fair-use content, created and spread by the individuals.
It's not whether or not the Europe will consider them as punishable offenses if the directive passes. They WILL.
Because in EU, everything that is not clearly stated to be legal, is considered illegal by default.

How about you start considering the effects this shit will have not only on this sute, but the normal, modern vidya consuming in general?
Worst case scenario, you're going to pay money to some AAA publisher, each time you press F12 on Steam or SHARE button on PS4!
You can also say goodbye to Drawfag threads.

What can a single person possibly do to combat this op? If the eu wants it to go ahead then it will go ahead.

Is this real or is it another SOPA/PIPA/Net nootrality/Occupy slacktivism thing?
I was 16 many years ago, I don't give a shit now.

I'm just post-poning suicide.
If they take my memes and pirated content I can finally get over with it.

well I already contacted some MEPs and they said they'll vote against, nothing else to do

None of that shit applies to me!

Yeah, it's real, and you could just Google it up yourself.

>block dirty euros from seeing their "illegal" content with an IP ban

Problem solved, site gets better overnight

*puts fingers in ears* LALALALALALALALA

It is a bad thing. People just look at it as huzzah google/facebook BTFO while ignoring the damage it does to more legit sites.

But the article 13 shit is indeed 50 times worse.

What bothers me about this is that the idea of gathering to do stuff against shitty laws is fine, but people just don't read the stuff and dramatize everything, so when something actually ugly will be in the pipelines people will be too desentisized to actually mobilize
see people like

SOPA was actually a serious thing. We had banners on top of Jow Forums warning about this shit. While I think this is a bunch of bs by the EU and it should be prevented from passing, if it was actually as damaging to the internet as people are pushing for it, I think that Jow Forums would have banners warning people about it.

Then explain what is is you faggot.

Interesting how nothing has changed.

Money ruins everything.

All hiroshimoot would need to do is turn /v/ into a text only board to completely kill off the remaining reaction image fags and this place would be a fucking utopia.

AHAHAHAHAHA, now we Asians have the meme to ourselves!

They were wrong about pizzagate

So what can I do as an Italianfam?

real enough for many political parties in the Europe to be lobbying against it, and for BBC and numerous other big-name channels to report on it.
Mysteriously, the EU's own news outlet took down their article about it.

Honestly this whole censorship thing is starting to scare the fuck out of me.

I feel like Kojima was right on the fucking dot with MGS2. Governments are now censoring and using the internet to manipulate the masses into think groups and morph them into what they want them to think.

I live in America and it's really starting to scare me with all this focus on internet censorship bullshit. But what the fuck can I as a single person even do? These people are hellbound to take control of the one and last thing that has yet been tainted entirely by govermental influences.

Why? Why is nothing sacred to government and corporations? Why must everything be tainted until it is nothing but a marketable and empty husk that CEOs and Politicians can use to control and profit off of people?

The EU will require sites to have automatic systems that detect copyrighted content. Like youtube already does.
The matter of linking is about taking text from the source to contextualize the link. Linking it self is not subject to taxation. The act of taking headlines from a news site is.
Making up stuff to get people on your bandwagon is a sure way to lose anybody who knows what you're talking about.
It's a bad law about movies, music and news. It's not a bad law about memes.

Also daily reminder that all the right wing parties are the ones pushing this ALDE and EPP are corporate cucks.

>"The entirety of the article is complex, but given that it's mostly matters regarding who processed what, it's not relevant to our analysis [...] Article 13 tells me that the sites are supposed to cooperate with the copyright holders by respecting the latter's wishes. This MAY include recognition tech, but it's probably understood that not all sites will be able to afford it, so they rely on each site's moderation to enforce the holders' policyon copyright.
This means that, unless the EU makes this official automatic filter free to use (or at least make it cost a symbolic price), we won't be seeing many of the more famous fan sites being affected, but we'll be seeing mainstream sites make a painful choice between using their own moderation and risk being sued if the mods fuck up, or pay up the filter and pray users will not complain."

>"One thing that must be noted about Article 13 (but indeed also the entirety of the law's text) is that there are no express measure to create a common framework for a singular European LAw on copyright. While most member countries share a lot of features, there are still some marked differences, for example Finland's lack of an equivalent of a 'Fair Use' law common to other European countries or Italy's longer processing time for copyright applications. As such, Article 13, while an European Law supposed to reign supreme above national laws, will have to work with each country's systems meant to protect intellectual property [...] As a result, even if the option most feared by the general public comes to pass, there shall not be any significant change in how content sharing functions for the individual citizens."

TL;DR: since it's not like the US, where THAT specific brand of intellectual property laws applies, but a bunch of law systems all with different ways to go at it, there physically cannot be a single policy covering all member states.

This doesn't surprise me. It's the same kind of mass hysteria over net neutrality, all perpetuated and started by retards who never read the bill and only know anything about the thing based off of a reddit infograph and twitter posts.

>Forgetting USA and Australia
you what m8?
Also Afrikaners have internet.

Send mail / email to your EU politicians, maybe even call them if you dare. Tell them that you don't like your online activities being monitored and censored, and that failure to comply will result big losses in future votes.

The website mentioned in the OP's post has an easy to use, automatic system, that lets you input your country, and it'll list out all the MEPs... to which you can then send an auto-generated message via email, or type out one yourself. Latter which prolly's recommended, seeing how you Pasta-bois don't know how to English.

People keep buying nintendo stuff after they have banned streams and cancelled fan projects. This happens because people is retarded.

What will happen to EU traffic to sites like Jow Forums? Can Hiroshimoot just tell EU legistlators to go fuck themselves because the site isn't hosted in the EU or will he have to ban all of us yurofags?

You will never be able to convince these people that a bill that only existed for 2 years and is then being removed won't change anything. They literally think you're going to end up paying $200 a month with a $20 fee for every MB over 100MB, with speed rivaling two tin cans and some string.

I for one hope NN gets repealed, because some faggot college kid who streams 4K HD Netflix 12 hours a day should be paying way more than someone who only uses a gig of bandwidth a week.

In case you did notice: even if this hysteria is retarded, it's not tangentially related to videogames. If the fear mongering was true, videogames would be seriously affected. Whether or not jews/feminazis/your-neightbour-that-looked-at-you-funny control videogames or if the melanine counter is over a certain limit is irrelevant to the future of videogames as a whole.

Same, laws are a giant mess.

I haven't really lookeda the law but if it's as serious as everyone is claiming, then there's no way they'll be able to implement something like that and have it work. I don't know what kind of morons they have over there but this law shouldn't pass.

My only worry is that this law passes and will remain valid by the point AI is a proper thing. Then laws like these can be implemented to a scary degree.

But they cant, its impossible to stop a flood like that, no matter how powerful the wall
