And don't forget the petition here:

I don't disagree with your post, but from what I gathered from watching Leonard French's videos on the matter, the reason why YT's copyright / DMCA handling system is such an absolute mess is that YouTube specifically wants to stay within "Safe Harbor" laws: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safe_harbor_(law)#United_StatesIf YouTube can’t figure it out with the power of fair use and google behind them I do wonder how some forums will end up handling it.
The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) has notable safe-harbor provisions which protect Internet service providers from the consequences of their users' actions. (Similarly, the EU directive on electronic commerce provides a similar provision of "mere conduit" which, while not exactly the same, serves much the same function as the DMCA safe harbor in this instance.)
I think it's been partially settled in the Matt Hoss vs. H3H3 case.The problem with relying on Fair Use is that Fair Use is not settled law; it hasn't actually been tested in court.
Are EU forum owners liable if they move to non-EU servers, or does that even matter if they reside in the EU? I find the whole thing fascinating. I mean, it seems to me that EU internet users can use a VPN, and perhaps connect from Switzerland, to foil any blocked content. I have a feeling some sites will just choose to geo block EU IPs rather than have to wrestle with copyright stuff. Just seems easier. Some are still doing that over the GDPR.
are you sure?Every one of those three conditions must be met, so if your site is older than 3 years, generates less than 10M € per year and has less than 5M monthly unique users you would not be excempted.
Such a law is already in progress in Germany. It has been suggested by our Bundesrat and will now soon be processed in our parliament (Bundestag).Next step will be the EU to ban all VPN's and make them illegal...
The petition has already been handed over to german secretary of justice and the president of the european parliamemt, both ignored it. The bill was approved by european parliament on march 26 and will most likely get its final approval by eu council tomorrow, afterwards it will become active within a few days giving member states up to 2 years for Implementation into national law.I think the petition will tell them to shove the law and put it in the shredder where it belongs.
Seriously if the (people) in the EU arent prepared to stand up for their freedoms of speech then they probably dont deserve it...
Here I can read AND ("and which have") and not OR... so IMHO if the website has a turnover below 10M € is enough.
Losing your sovereignty? Or this absolutely shining example of the stupid laws you get from unelected bureaucracy? There is literally nothing of value gained with the EUSSR membership unless you're some global stakeholder or a German bank.The EU has many good reasons why you should be and stay a member!
Yes, as said before all 3 conditions must bet met, e.g and:Here I can read AND ("and which have") and not OR... so IMHO if the website has a turnover below 10M € is enough.
