On June, 20th the JURI of European Parliament approved of the articles 11 and 13 of the new Copyright Law. These articles are also known as the “Link Tax” and the “Censorship Machines” articles.

Articles 13 in particular forces every internet platform to filter all the contents we upload online, ending once and for all the fandom culture. Which means you won’t be able to upload any type of fandom works like fan arts, fan fictions, gif sets from your favourite films and series, edits, because it’s all copyrighted material. And you won’t also be able to share, enjoy or download other’s contents, because the use of links will be completely restricted.

But not everything’s lost yet. There’s another round of voting scheduled for the early days of July.

What you can do now to save our internet, is to share these informations with all of your family members and friends, and to ask to your MEP (the members of the European Parliament from your country) to vote NO at the next round, to vote against articles 11 and 13.

Here you can find more news and all the details to contact your MEP:

We have just a couple of weeks to stop this complete madness, don’t let them dictating the way we enjoy our internet.

Dan: Phil got me something for my birthday and honestly, *softer voice* this is why Phil is my best friend.

Phil: Normally, I buy Dan, like, three things.

Dan: What is your - just think, ask yourself - dream birthday present? Is it like an X box, a mansion or is it like, I don’t know, you know me, I’m a person of elephant - I mean, elegant and refined taste.

Phil: Elephant? *sweetest fond laughter* Elephant taste?

Dan: Phil got me-

Phil: Wait! So normally, I would get Dan, like, three presents but I saw this and I was like this is more expensive but he is going to appreciate it more. So I got him an fancy candle in a really fancy pot.

Dan: Literally the only thing I care about.

Phil: It’s made out of concrete and tiles. It’s like an art piece.

Dan *repeats*: Literally the only thing I care about.

Phil: And it smells freaking amazing.

Dan: Phil was like: I only got you one thing and I don’t know if it’s kinda crappy but I got you- And I was like, this is the only thing I want.

Phil: It’s so heavy. You could kill someone with that.

Dan: It’s literally the only thing I want.

Phil: Very fancy. I also got you some chocolate but we ate it.

Dan: You ate most of it.

Phil: I ate most of it.

Dan: But I nearly cried honestly.
