Has the EU just killed the internet as we know it?

[Cepheus Ace]

I'm not techy enough to be sure that I understand all of the ramifications.

let me make it simple, now platforms like youtube are responsible for copyrighted content uploaded and have to take it down.

before if you uploaded copy righted material you didn't have permission to use then the copyright holder has to tell you or youtube to take it down, with this law YouTube has t take it down whether or not it was told to take it down

and knowing youtube they will freak out and roll out a buggy faulty automated algorithm that make s everything worse

I think that it's DailyMotion that'll be more effected by Article 13 than YouTube. Remember, YouTube is based out California, which isn't really beholden to the rules of the EU. DailyMotion, however, is based out of Paris, and will likely suffer for it once Article 13 goes into effect.

if it only were that simple, most tech companies won't follow the law as stated within each nation unless forced to, they just follow the strictest and most comprehensive one which is why literally every bloody site we have registered with sent out the "we changed our privacy and terms of service blah blah blah" when the EU implemented its data protection laws

OK, how about this, a person takes a picture of a copy write image (say Mickey Mouse), upload it to imgur, then make a meme with and post it, imgur would be liable?

If correct, this makes no sense and would be impossible to police/enforce.

by threatening to sue and have the site shut down. this is basically SOPA and PIPA all over again

As far as I'm concerned, until the owner makes a claim of infringement........... there has been no actionable infringement. Just think of how often the copy write owners want the exposure and would not claim infringement.

Sorry EU, this is a stupid law.
