I wonder how the internet would react if we ever have a terrorist attack in Europe over article 13

People have killed for less.

They would just blame the evil pedo nazi hackers on 4chan for it

OUR MEMES

I might have understood it wrongly, since I barely glanced over the whole document, but:

1. Memes seem to be excluded, on the grounds that copyrighted material can still be used for parody and pastiche without worrying about proper authorization.

2. The whole article only seems to be affecting sites with at least over 5 millions unique users who log in monthly.

Still, I didn't really dug deep into it, and it's written in a convoluted manner, so I might be wrong.

they took our youtube .... you understand it quite wrongly though, the content id system on youtube already allows companies to claim shit, even if you use part of a trailer in a meme, now it's gonna be worse because the responsibility suddenly lays with the platform, not the actual owner of the upload

Why is it worse?

dakuhonoo · Commenter · 2 points · 6 years ago
well because youtube and such services will be forced to either implement upload filters - youtube doesn't want to do that - or, they'll just stop allowing europeans to upload stuff - something a youtube person said

woah, that's pretty crazy. Who said that? Can you give me a link?

P O R N tho.

Either having a large user base, generating income above a threshold or _existing for longer than 3 (or 5? don't recall)_ years. So eventually: every site, really.

I wonder, what's the income threshold? Is it specified anywhere?
