Articles 11 & 13 from the EU Copyright Directive

[jmurrayhead]

Well, the first thing Google should now do is pull Google News out of Europe, just as they did with Spain when Spain passed their own link tax bullcrap. Maybe it will get some of the EU Parliament who are in the pockets of big business to think twice before the final vote in April.

I think everyone else should just block the EU completely...or start charging a "viewing tax" to EU members. Every page visit costs x amount of money.

If the EC pass these stupid articles I have a feeling it will have 2 effects:

1. Increase the usage of VPN tech even more (which paints a bigger target on VPNs for the lawmakers to chase)
2. Decimate EU hosting companies as people/Companies will simply start to host outside of the EU

Probably a boon to forums too, with many more of them going private. When you apply to join you might be presented with a question like, "Do you or have you ever worked for..." - fill in the name of whatever EU copyright enforcement agency.

Well, yeah, that's only a matter of time. And you'll almost certainly find that every politician in favor of outlawing VPN's will have received multiple handsome payoffs by corporations that would stand to benefit from such laws. But of course the politicians would be spinning it as a national security issue, on top of "protecting our children," blah blah blah.

Oh I know but then people will look at making IPSEC easier, using SSL VPN tunnels, tinc etc.

You are not wrong though

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

 

[imno007]

Even after today's EU Parliament vote, we can still kill Article 13 through pressure on German government to prevent formal adoption by EU Council

Under normal circumstances, today's outcome of the European Parliament's plenary vote would mean we lost the fight against Article 13 ("upl...

European Commission votes in April. If passed than national governments will get two years to put it in national law.

 

[imno007]

The final remaining step is then for the Council to adopt the law as well, which is likely to take place on April 9. However, Germany, whose Minister of Justice has come out in opposition of upload filters, could still retract its support, which would make a majority unlikely and thus also lead to further negotiations after the EU elections in May.

Yes indeed. But I'm not sure how that is relevant?

I was under the impression that the EU proposed regulation put the onus on the site owner to actively manage copyright infringement and will be the one taken to task if content is found on the site - regardless of who put it there?

From what I'm gathering, the proposed regulation is putting the onus on the site owner to prevent it from even being posted. Someone please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
