#article11

Please share this information to your friends, to your followers, to your family, to all!

It's really important! It's our digital future in Europe. If European Parliament is voting for Article 13 (also for 11 and 12) then we will have a dark future for the free internet.

It seems many other European countries don't know about the new copyright law but it's important for ALL people who uses the internet and upload every day!

Only Germany and Poland are strong active against Article 13 with demonstrations. Please help them to avoid this stupid law!

We citizen of Germany are harassed by our own government as bots. We aren't humans, we were paid by Google, and we can't think for ourselves, we are stupid and young, we haven’t enough follower on Twitter to tell our opinion… but the European commission also harassed the people who demonstrated in Cologne on 23rd February 2019 as mob! Disrespectful!

Please help us! We need you and your help!

Europe-wide demonstrations against Article 13 are on 23rd March 2019!

EU Youtube channels could be unavailable / ”Despacito” could be unavailable.

I read the directive directly from its source, the site of the EU Parliament. The NEW directive (the one approved on September that delete the wrong named "censorship machines” and allow memes) never talks about blocking, but agreements between the parts. 

Article 13 paragraph 1: [..] They (social media) shall therefore conclude fair and appropriate licensing agreements with right holders .

Article 13 paragraph 3: [..] When defining best practices, special account shall be taken of fundamental rights, the use of exceptions and limitations as well as ensuring that the burden on SMEs remains appropriate and that automated blocking of content is avoided. 

About European Youtube channels: If I have a channel where I teach Portoguese, Spanish, German, Italian, Norvegian or whatever without any copyrighted material… or I teach how make hair-do using free libraries of not copyrighted music, why it would be unavailable? It have nothing ruled by the directive. Let’s players are already allowed to monetize games, also because developers and game companies gain free advertisement. It’s a convenient relationship. 

About "Despacito" is just a badly built lie. Here's why: given that this directive is for protect European artists (has been signed by artists like Paul Mccartney (The Beatles) and David Guetta), it would be real if it would talk about for example Alvaro Soleil, that is Spanish…. Not Despacito that is South American (Luis Fonsi is a Portorican based artist)!! 100% proved to be fake!

Watching it from an economic side, it's stupid think that songs will disappear, and artist could not getting money/views for a directive they asked in a period that the world runs most on internet. Artist will find a deal and songs will be available on artists’s channels/VEVO channels.

The situation of fake news is really out of control, that you believe in things that are realistic as unicorns.

sign this petition now to help stop articles 11 and 13 

they reached 4.5m but they need more support

With the vote for Article 13 and Article 11 coming closer and closer, and so little support and awareness for it, things don’t look so good.

I have loved showing my builds to all 290 of you and never expected to get such good feedback from what I made. But with the new law imminent, it may be illegal to do this as I don’t own the sims.

If the law passes, I might not be able to say goodbye to you all and thank you for the past few months and all the nice comments and conversations I’ve had with you. Thank you all so much!

Now with the sad part out, the vote isn’t over yet, you can still try to put up a fight by going to savetheinternet.info for more info and for the petition and saveyourinternet.eu to contact your local MEP and tell them to stop! Even reblogging to spread awareness can help!

Article 13 is going to make it illegal to post any copyrighted material which means no fan art, fanfictions, remixes, parodies, let’s plays, Simblrs and more if the law goes ahead as it says it will.

Article 11 will make it so you have to pay to link news articles. How will people back up claims or link sources for essays without paying?

If you are in America this does affect you as all of your favourite European creators will dissapear off of the face of the internet just like I will if this law is made.

And just incase you don’t believe me, even wikepedia are worried!

How did your MEP vote??

Last June MEPs voted to reject Articles 11 and 13. However the EU’s Copyright Directive for the Digital Single Market is going back to the Parliament this week.
