We need to stop Article 11, 12a, and 13! These new articles will change the internet for the worse. They will copyright almost everything in the EU which will affect everyone else from all around the world too. Lots (if not almost all) memes, Youtubers, and many other content creators from the EU will disappear from the face of the internet. I'm positive they will find the smallest and most littlest ways to strike down every content creator who obeys these articles! This will benefit big, famous companies and ONLY big, famous companies. These articles will put MILLIONS out of jobs and nobody really seems to care! Please join the fight and help have the internet! Spread the word NOW!

ARTICLE 13 IS A BIG PROBLEM GUYS! EVERY NON-EUROPE AND EUROPE PEOPLE WHO WANTS TO SAVE OUR INTERNET, PLEASE SIGN!!

The European Commission and the European Parliament really disappointed me and I'm sure that I'm not alone. Because they are saying that they are trying to protect smaller authors and creators in the Europe, but in fact their current version of the article 13 could destroy thousands of them. Yes, I know the article 13 should protect film studios, musicians, writers and others artists from the illegal distribution of their works. So for an example there shouldn't be web sides where is a possibility to download movies, songs, books or another artistic works for free, because that's illegal. There should be only web sides, which have a contract with the company or directly an artist who own mentioned product and I agree with this. But what about our youtubers a lot of them could be destroyed and why? Just because of the current version of the article 13 doesn't think about exceptions. Thousands of people across the Europe could lose their jobs, because of this. The article 13 says that people can't work with things, which they didn't create. But what about "let's players", because they didn't create games, which they are playing. But when we think about that they aren't doing anything wrong or illegal, because they bought games or got them from developers. When we're watching "Let's plays or gaming video" from "gamer" we can hear him/her to talk about the game quality. In fact by playing and talking about games they make an advertising to the developers and gaming industry. So I think that there should be a better definition for them. Another category are reaction videos or reviews, because there could be some troubles too so there are another missing definitions. The same problem is with tutorials, educational videos or various types of compilations, because there we need some definitions as well. And finaly special categories like parodies, covers or karaoke which should have some special rules. Right now the Article 13 is so poorly defined that it's in conflict with freedom of an expression and human rights. So I hope that together with EU we will find a solution that will be good for everyone.
