G'day guys not my usual video this time. It's about copyright.
I'm about to head off for four days walking the Bibbulmun carrying the Google Earth tracker
on the back with four other people. Now I normally like to post at least once a
week but I am going to be away I normally post on Monday and on Monday I
will be somewhere in the middle of the bush so I wanted to get something out
there I do have something that is what I feel massively important and could have
huge consequences around the globe now if you are new to Epic Drives usually
we're the channel all about four-wheel driving and the outdoors in Western
Australia. There's like a random kid throwing sticks at ducks. Not on! Now I'm sure you guys
like me use places like YouTube to search for content that answers
questions no matter how weird and bizarre that they might be and that's
actually at risk at the moment so this isn't a usual video where I go for
driving I'm sorry for that but stick around because this is important to
everyone!
So I want to talk a little bit about a funny thing that's happening in the EU
if you haven't heard it already it's called article 13. Intended to protect
creators, but it could have unintended consequences that would dramatically
change the framework that allows services like YouTube to host content
from creators. In practice it could force platforms to prioritise content only a
small number of larger companies that are able to stand behind their copyright
clearance programs but it would be too risky for sites to host content from
smaller original content creators because it would be the sites themselves
that are individually liable for that content. This would dramatically change
the web as we know it and would mean that less content would be shared
enjoyed or even seen in Europe and there are many other unintended consequences!
Article 13 as written, threatens to shut down the ability of millions of people
to upload their content to platforms like YouTube
and this could put hundreds of thousands of jobs at risk including but not
limited to our European creators, businesses, artists as well as the people
that they employ. But even worse than that is the European viewers. You people
you're at risk of losing literally billions of videos from creators all
around the world and that includes the content that is already live right now.
And yes it includes YouTube's vast library of videos. Educational content
such as language classes, physics tutorials and all the how-to videos.
Europeans would literally be cut off from the rest of the world. Cut off from
the latest cultural moments being created and shared on the Internet.
So let's come together for a better solution. We all want to work with the
lawmakers on a better way forward. Now the exact language of article 13 is
still being determined and it is critical that we get this right and we
need to speak up now because this decision may be made final as soon as
the end of the year and so we need to make our voice heard click the link in
the description below and sign the petition against article 13 and most
importantly make your voice heard that you want the internet to remain as it is
and not be taken over by big companies. So that's it for now as always thank you
for watching, I'm Dan this has been Epic Drives Western Australia. Catch ya!

What is Taps? - Duration: 4:46.
At military funerals in the United States, it has become customary to play "Taps."
Who wrote this piece of music?
How long has it been in use?
Taps is a piece of music that is not only played at military funerals, but is also played
each night on military bases to signal "lights out".
There are multiple stories related to the origin of Taps, as well as how the piece of
music received its name.
There are some who believe the name "Taps" was derived from the old military term "tattoo".
A military tattoo was a tune that was played each evening to inform the troops that it
was time to extinguish the lights.
However, there was also a practice of striking a drum three times after the playing of the
tattoo.
These drum beats became known as "The Drum Taps" and was later shortened to simply
"Taps".
This is most likely how the legendary tune received its name.
The tune itself was arranged by Brigadier General Daniel Butterfield of the Union Army,
during the Civil War.
He adapted it from an older "lights out" tattoo that had been used by the French Army.
By the end of the war, "Taps" was being used by both the Union and Confederate forces
to signal "lights out".
There are at least two well-known stories related to how "Taps" came to be used
at military funerals.
One story suggests that a man named Robert Ellicombe, an officer in the Union Army, asked
that "Taps" be played at his son's funeral (who was in the Confederate Army).
This story claims that Ellicombe had found the tune written on a piece of paper in the
son's pocket.
However, this story has been proven to be apocrypha (a story of doubtful origin) because
there is no record of a Robert Ellicombe serving in the Union Army.
The more readily accepted story is that of Captain John C. Tidball.
A corporal serving under Captain Tidball had died, and Captain Tidball wished to bury the
young man with full military honors.
This would have included a three-gun salute.
However, for military reasons, he was not allowed to fire the guns.
As a substitute, it struck him as appropriate to have "Taps" played.
The song seemed appropriate to those in attendance, and it quickly caught on.
In 1891, "Taps" became a standard feature at all U.S. military funeral services.
It is also still played on military bases to signal the end of each day.
While "Taps" is usually played instrumentally, with either a bugle or trumpet, there are
also lyrics which accompany the melody.
The lyrics of the first verse are as follows: Day is done, gone the sun
From the lakes, from the hills, from the sky, All is well, safely rest,
God is nigh.

Hearts 0-0 Hibs: Chaos ensues as Neil Lennon is floored by missile - Duration: 10:46.
This was a night when Tynecastle became a war zone.The stage for the kind of aggression and anger last seen in Edinburgh when Francis Begbie was in his Trainspotting prime
By the end no one was discussing a tempestuous goalless draw.Only a shameful fall-out unlikely to enhance the argument for bringing booze back to Scottish grounds
In the midst of five minutes of mayhem, visiting striker Florian Kamberi was red carded before a Hibs fan tried to pole axe Zdenek Zlamal, sending the Hearts keeper collapsing to the deck
In the second minute of injury time Hibs boss Neil Lennon - attacked at the same venue as Celtic manager six years ago - was felled by a pound coin thrown from behind the technical area, his reaction to a Clevid Dikamona Hearts goal being flagged offside tipping one or two halfwits in the home support over the edge
There was no real hint of what was to come until Hibs were reduced to ten men when Kamberi charged into a mid-air challenge on Australian Ollie Bozanic
The Swiss under-21 international was unlucky to be shown his first yellow card never mind his second
The challenge didn't especially merit it.A running battle with Ben Garrucio in the seconds afterwards might have
Convinced the Hearts left back had gone out of his way to provoke his striker Lennon was incensed by the decision of referee Andrew Dallas to send the striker off and one or two bozos in the Hibs support shared his dismay
Within four minutes Zlamal, the Hearts goalkeeper, lay prostrate in front of the visiting support
Trying to restart the play after a harmless shot drifted wide the Hearts goalkeeper had the ball thrown at his groin by a visiting supporter, before another took an apparent swing at the Pole
Throw in the flares and the pyrotechnics and this was a flammable encounter more suited to Bonfire Night than Halloween
As some of the 19,410 supporters lost their shape events were best viewed through the cracks of the fingers
The game itself felt incidental in the end.An unremarkable affair.Hearts manager Craig Levein entered the game with an infantry shortage so grim he almost brought back conscription
Steven MacLean served the first game of his two match suspension after the Tynecastle club decided opted against an appeal for the manhandling Celtic's Eboue Kouassi in an intimate area
Top scorer and talisman Steven Naismith faces two months on the sidelines with a knee problem
Uche Ikpueza and defender John Souttar are out for five months.And captain Christophe Berra won't be back until the New Year
Desperate times called for desperate measures and the injury situation at Tynecastle was so desperate Peter Haring - a midfielder - was pushed into attack beside winger Callum Morrison
It's a patchy fixture this.One where the thumping tackles and bone shuddering challenges can make the eyes bleed
And Marvin Bartley set the tone for a night of mayhem with a scything, reckless challenge on Haring
Referee Andrew Dallas had a perfect view, but settled for a yellow card.The fact they'd played just 13 minutes had a bearing no doubt
It shouldn't have.Hearts made the stronger start of the two sides, Olly Lee's thumping 20 yard striker pushed wide by Hibs keeper Adam Bogdan
Bartley's no holds barred tackle whipped the wind from the Hearts sails.It might be a coincidence, but the game seemed to change instantly
Hibs seemed to wake up.They began creating chances, playing the football.At the heart of their invention was Stephen Mallan; a footballer in a game of anything but
Signed from Barnsley, the former St Mirren midfielder offers different attributes to John McGinn
On nights like this, where craft and creativity are as rare as a show of contrition from Steven MacLean, that's no bad thing
With nine goals already this season Mallan came to within inches of number ten when he cracked a superb, vicious dipping strike from 20 yards onto the crossbar with Hearts keeper Zdenek Zlamal flailing to get there
Embarassed by Celtic's second goal in Sunday's Betfred League Cup exit, people kept a close eye on the Hearts keeper for collateral damage here and Mallan, in particular, seemed hellbent on testing the Pole to the full
Presented with a free-kick in his ideal range moments later the ball dipped inches wide of the postage stamp corner
The Edinburgh derby isn't noted for it's flowing football.What creativity there was came from Hibs, Mallan's set-piece menace posing real problems
He was into everything.He topped off a heck of an opening half hour by forcing Zlamal to scramble across his line
Expecting a free-kick towards a crowded back post a cheeky effort went towards the other side instead
Banked away to the other side of the ground in the Roseburn Stand the HIbs support lapped it all up
Hearts fans settled into a pensive silence.There were no easy answers for Craig Levein
Harry Cochrane and Craig Wighton offered some invention on the bench.Yet as Haring galloped around up front, throwing his body into lost causes it was clear what Hearts lacked most
A natural goalscorer.Hibs lost one of their own when the game entered five minutes of hot-headed insanity
Booked for persistent fouling in the first half Kamberi's mid-air coming together with Ollie Bozanic was a dubious reason to send him off
An unwise, heated spat with Ben Garrucio seems the likelier explanation for a dismissal which incensed Neil Lennon
'He's on a yellow card, he's very aggressive in his challenge.He runs the risk, doesn't he? I think it was a second yellow card
'Both sets of players competed really well tonight, they just forgot that football was the name of the game
It became one of those ones that will get locked away in a bottom drawer of derbies that you instantly forget
' Some chance.The response of the Hibernian manager to Dikamona's disallowed goal seconds into four minutes of injury time was too much for some
Attacked by a Hearts supporter in the same dug-out as manager of Celtic BT Sport pictures showed a coin striking the Northern Irishman's cheek, anger turning to alarm as he fell to the deck holding his face
There may not be a government summit this time.Yet the repercussions of a night of high emotion on Gorgie Road, you sense, will be felt for weeks
