- Boycott the political parties that approved this orwellian copyright dystopia. Vote for other parties. - Boycott EU's entertainment industry and mainstream media that lobbied for this.
Next elections to the European Parliament: May 2019.
* Upload filters: Everything you post, from short text snippets to stills, audio, video, code, etc will be surveilled by copyright bots run by the big platforms. They'll compare your posts to databases of "copyrighted works" that will be compiled by allowing anyone to claim copyright on anything, uploading thousands of works at a time. Anything that appears to match the "copyright database" is blocked on sight, and you have to beg the platform's human moderators to review your case to get your work reinstated.
* Link taxes: You can't link to a news story if your link text includes more than a single word from the article's headline. The platform you're using has to buy a license from the news site, and news sites can refuse licenses, giving them the right to choose who can criticise and debate the news.
* Sports monopolies: You can't post any photos or videos from sports events -- not a selfie, not a short snippet of a great goal. Only the "organisers" of events have that right. Upload filters will block any attempt to violate the rule.
The EU parliament is fucking corrupt to the core it's all about cronies and money laundering, you have no control on who gets in and wtf they vote about at all. You'd be better off to start a new imageboard in Serbia that's completely outside of the EU's jurisdiction, not a NATO member, corrupt enough not to care what they host and it's on the same continent like most of us.
He's only half wrong. You can vote for MEPs, but MEPs have next to no influence on what actually happens there. It seems their only point is to provide a democratic looking puppet show for the masses.
Christopher Diaz
Yesterday I went to the website of USA Today to read some news and now you can't access the normal website, now you have a specific version of the website called "EU Experience". What the fuck is this shit?
The politicians that approved this law don't know what they have done. This will be another reason for Europeans to hate the European Union.
Benjamin Watson
I know we have a corrupt political class, but nihilism is not going to help us now. This boycott is necessary.
From what I know, OUR main political parties betrayed us. We must boycott them in the national elections as well. You may know the saying: "PSOE y PP, la misma mierda es".
Wyatt Young
None of the normies care. I talked to two dozen people about this in the past months. Only 4 of them were actually concerned, only 2 actually had heard of the issue. The vast majority essentially said that copyright is important and the internet needs more regulation.
I know many people didn't listen, and won't listen. If this Directive finally comes into force and normies start to complain, you know what to tell them: "YOU ASKED FOR IT"
Gabriel Lewis
Here's what will happen >no torrent and no internet radios all links to them will be censored by Google, Twitter, Reddit, Facebook >paid streaming services forced down your throat like Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, Spotify >Microsoft will make both Office and Windows a yearly subscription service >because of the 1 hr to remove extremist content rule Jow Forums will ban all Europeans otherwise Google and Cloudflare will be forced to moderate the site for the EU
Christopher Robinson
Ak yes, the "wrong result" vote. Just re-do it later! And EU censorship is already in action as of 2016. There never were any limitations to what we can and cannot view here, but now even clips of our own history are "not available in your country" here. I have to change my location to the US to watch them. >saveyourinternet.eu/the-european-parliament-voted-on-the-article-13-censorshipmachine-what-happens-next/ Why do I have the feeling this will be a massive flop just like the previous one.
Adrian Morgan
They will care when it starts to censor them too, but by then it will be too late. They will be like the Jews of the Soviet Union - some didn't care and some were actively helping the regime, but at the end of it most wanted to leave but couldn't.
Jace Wood
Jow Forums, the Diaspora social network, GNUsocial, mediagoblin, peertube and other alternative sources will be possibly blocked in the EU. That means the consolidation of the oligopoly of big media corporations that have the resources and the will to install filters and hire more mods to censor.
They aren’t caring about the censorship on Youtube, Twitter, Facebook right now or the censorship in Google results right now. They don’t even notice all this censoring.
Gavin Gray
>orwellian copyright dystopia lol
Isaiah Long
I'm going to vote Vox in the next elections.
Nicholas Foster
>because of the 1 hr to remove extremist content rule Jow Forums will ban all Europeans There will be blood if that happens.
Press S to spit on EUcucks and that (((Kalergi))) plan of theirs
James Brown
Nothing will happen, here's the demographic of the site >underage kids >Hispanic working class from America >homos and traps >antisocial fuckups Nearly all financially broken and sexless too. We don't fucking count.
William White
I already can't reach certain sites due to them hosting or discussing copyrighted material, this is bullshit and will just keep on getting worse Guess i'll either start using VPNs regularly or just fuck off from the internet as a whole
Logan Thomas
Italy banned infinitychan. They dgaf of this shit online.
Jordan Cox
Who do you think we are, Reddit? What's next? A thread begging us to care about Net Neutrality? No, we're not going to do some retarded internet justice movement. We're just going to laugh at the retarded Europeans getting what they deserve and enjoying the ride as they crash and burn.
>mfw shit sites cried and begged their users about net neutrality for months and it passed anyway
>violence is not the solution anyway yes it is, we're long past the point where we can fix this shithole by talking about it
Mason Ward
>mfw shit sites cried and begged their users about net neutrality for months and it passed anyway
The time for "begging" is over. Now it's time to boycott them. Don't vote for them, don't buy from them.
By the way, I wouldn't be surprised if UK's government supports this copyright reform, even after Brexit.
David Davis
>Voting >EU Nice meme Enjoy it while it's still legal
Chase Miller
Inb4 some autist creates websites that are distributed - that cannot be traced back to anyone. Literally a p2p kind of internet with shared storage / hosting schemes. There is probably a software way around this, a way around it so that it becomes physically impossible for download filters to be required
Kevin Miller
Yeah that will make a total difference.
Colton Ward
>I wouldn't be surprised if UK's government supports this copyright reform, even after Brexit. 100% this if you think Mrs snoopers charter wouldn't be down for this you're fucking retarded
Great, that's exactly the nihilism that our corrupt political class expects from us. [/irony]
Ian Reed
Who are those mainstream media you talk about? Examples.
Grayson Phillips
How many TV channels, radio stations and newspapers have opposed this new Directive? How many of them have even informed about this copyright quagmire in your country while the Internet was on fire over this?
You can find the answer in these 2 questions.
Isaiah Hill
The less Europeans on the internet the better
Sebastian Robinson
So every mainstream media then? It's true that I haven't heard nothing about this in the news.
Articles 11 and 13 are probably worse than the end of net neutrality. The governments in the EU will have to enforce these orwellian measures to censor and surveil. It's not an option for Internet platforms, it is mandatory.
Samuel Lopez
The EU commission is a direct emanation of the governments. It's not imposed on them, they wanted it. Because people are starting to understand they're just bullshitting their citizens.
Easton Mitchell
But is has been already voted, right? So just wait until it is publish or something?
Jose Evans
One of the reasons why I haven't lost my mind yet is because I have an outlet here, a place where I can speak my heart out if you will. If they take that away many of us will just fall even further down the rabbithole. They are effectively cornering each and everyone of us individually, there are atleast some who are bound to snap when it happens.
Charles Ross
It has been already voted in, yes. It comes into effect in early 2019.
Benjamin Reyes
And can the governments refuse to apply it in their territory or is it mandatory?
Matthew Reed
After the sept 12th vote, there will be so called 'trilogue negotiations’ (basically negotiations behind closed doors). If they decide to keep the Directive as it it, then the Parliament in your country will have to create a national law the incorporates the content of the EU's Directive.
Levi Lewis
EU wide and mandatory. They made the vote behind closed doors, what makes you think that implementation will be any different?
Luis Morris
>They made the vote behind closed doors Literally? The voting wasn't public?
Brody Brown
Try and find a public one. I can't. In fact I heard about it only after it was declared.
Justin Lopez
But BREXIT is literally proof that elections/voting won't solve our problems here in the euroviet union...

Something similar is working on Jewtube and it's not working at all. simple mirror is jewing it. Any fix to brightness also, so I call this whole paragraph a Bulshit
>>You can't post any photos or videos from sports events -- not a selfie
Also I call BS. Post screan from art 13 or art 11 that claims any copyright or wrong-full use of intellectual property when the whole "image" is made by You.
