I completely agree it's going to get worse. Currently, I have about 8 copyright claims on my channel, all of them without exception are for audio material which years ago was Royalty Free but later got registered to CD Baby. I haven't received any strikes, but I can no longer monetize those...

Bad news! Copyright directive has been approved by the EU Council

The every member part is just an avarage estimate. Not all members post copyrighted images, but if a member posts more than one, that makes up for the rest. Look at it as a thought experiment where if XenForo wants to continue its services in the EU digital market then it will have to comply...

Right. At the moment XenForo has 134 974 members. Assuming that every member has posted, is posting or will post at least one copyrighted image, according to the new EU Copyright Directive, in the near future, if nothing is been done to remove those images and prevent uploads, XenForo may be...

Good point, but this undermines the purpose of the notion of ''free sharing''. Yes you can share none copyrighted material, but 90% of the material on the internet is copyrighted. So how can you bypass that without infringing copyright?

I agree, but the fact of the matter is that it wasn't made worldwide and now the EU is heading to a direction to exclude themselves from something they willingly participated all these years. What's frustrating is that they proposed their new rules without offering practical solutions for...

Here's a ridiculous fact how on the 26th of March 2019 the vote in favour of articles 11 (15) and 13 (17) passed!!! Article 13 News: Swedish Legislators Say They Passed the Directive “by Mistake” ''Members of parliament were asked to vote in favor of voting down in favor of passing the entire...

This was more than a month ago but still relevant:

So there is still a hope and by then more protest will follow.

Where does it say that the final vote is in April? It was today no?

Just to clarify that the above letter from Tim Berners-Lee which was written on the 12 of June 2018, on 12 of September was almost completely ignored, as well as any other letters of the sort. That is what initiated the #SaveYourInternet movement. In less than 2 months the directive will finalise.

Letter from Tim Berners-Lee, Inventor of the World Wide Web and others to Antonio Tajani MEP, President of the European Parliament It's more than clear that Article 13 in it's present form, would change the way our forums operate in the European Union. We are all service providers and our...
