Press B to boycott.
--------------------------
Fellow EU citizens:
BOYCOTT - DON'T BUY FROM THEM. DON'T VOTE FOR THEM.
saveyourinternet.eu
- 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.
#SaveYourInternet #Article13 #Article11 #FixCopyright #EU
Basic graphic of the result of the vote: boingboing.net
Also, I have the document of the vote from the EU’s Parliament (pags 10-38): europarl.europa.eu
The vote on art.13 is on page 34.
it's over, rip internet
* 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.
Here's what they voted against:
* "Right of panorama": the right to post photos of public places despite the presence of copyrighted works like stock arts in advertisements, public statuary, or t-shirts bearing copyrighted images. Even the facades of buildings need to be cleared with their architects (not with the owners of the buildings).
* User generated content exemption: the right to use small excerpt from works to make memes and other critical/transformative/parodical/satirical works.
>conservatives spread their ass as wide as they possibly can
oh gee count me surprised
Don't be defeatist. That's exactly what they want.
and what's gonna stop them?
nothing
BOYCOTT - DON'T BUY FROM THEM. DON'T VOTE FOR THEM.
Interesting that the liberals voted against it in the second vote. Fort round they said yes AFAIK. I guess I'll give the efdd my votes then, idk.

I may not be an EU member but this shit is fucked

and FUCK AJIT PAI
Spread the word on social media. Pic related.
I suggest we do it from time to time so people remember this. Don't forget to use hashtags.
I don't have social media.

Though I still think that the only way to stop this shit would be to rid the world of everyone who supports it.
· They want you to pay for everything.
· They want you to shut your mouth. They want to censor the Internet.
· They want to consolidate an oligopoly of big companies. They want to get rid of the competition.
· They want to remove or block blogs, decentralized social networks (Diaspora, etc) and control the narrative so they can control the population.
WAKE UP.
The solution to Article 13 is Article 50.
How could anyone call themselves a liberal with a straight face while voting in favour of this?
I'm afraid the Tories are all for this copyright quagmire. Not only that, they support mass surveillance (snoopers charter) and censorship.

I feel bad for you eurobros
Wow. EPP is really a lobby bitch. EU is going to become like America.
Please don't remind me.
I'm crossing my fingers that Brexit will shatter the Conservative party (things look well on course for that to happen right now), then a liberal party (not fake EU-loving liberals like the LibDems) will move to fill vacuum left by them. Unfortunately, there really isn't a liberal party around besides the '''''''Liberal''''''' Democrats, so the latter point seems unlikely for the moment.
It's really shit having nothing to chose from at the elections besides Statist Vermin A and Statist Vermin B.
Pic related is a version of the boycott in Spanish.
Translations in German, French, Italian, etc would be appreciated. It would increase the range of this.
translation: Internet gets out of control, bitter and innerly tensioned vatican-cucks asses are on fire
lol.
