The EU is About to Destroy The Internet #DeleteArt13

[treos]

well, this sounds disturbing. looks like the internet will soon be facing yet ANOTHER potential apocalypse.

 

[baneini]

Anti-EU, pro-brexit, ukip supporter is being hysterically anti-EU doomsday guy. Who could've guessed.

With people in the music, film, gaming and whatever other forms of entertainment constantly complaining about copyright i'm surprised it's taken this long.

 

[Vanaduke]

Welp. Guess watchdogs 2 might come true. We still have our vanguard: Anonymous will take action

 

[Gomly1980]

Anonymous will take action

If it was Sony, yeah. Against the EU .... no.

 

[Vanaduke]

If it was Sony, yeah. Against the EU .... no.

Not the entire eu of course. They can however, still inflict milions of damages by crashing websites, restricting access and what-not.

 

[DarthSeduction]

Wow, and I thought the US had some fascist views coming in.

Come on dude. That's not how do this.
At the very least you should link to the proposal in question so people can make up their own opinions instead of yapping after some random youtuber.
So:

You must be registered to see the links

(it's from 2016 by the way)

I know it's a lot, but at least skim through it and don't base your opinion on what some dumbass on youtube says.
In other news. It's not as bad as , but still sucks.

And to quote someone who sums up the main complaint of the dude in the video pretty well:

This is about the enforcement of intellectual property copyrights, should the rightholder (aka. person who uploaded content) wish it.
It does not impact creative commons.
Unless someone goes through the trouble of registering their content under a copyright license, where it becomes their intellectual property.
WHICH IS, mind you, already a thing.
This article essentially says "in content-sharing sites produced by users, the site will cooperate with the creator to enforce their copyright laws should they wish it"
News sites are most definitely NOT "Information society service providers that store and provide to the public access to large amounts of works or other subject-matter uploaded by their users

It's obvious the dude did not really inform himself. While it is an issue, he has no clue what he's talking about.

The internet is always """supposed""" to get destroyed and it never does.

I swear I have heard this garbage story countless times throughout my life.

 

[ZARDOZ7]

i am worried more about EU as internet, i mean expiration date of this experiment is not so far, i think

 

[Ataios]

Doomsday conspiracies in both cases. We will all have died of old age before either will break down.
