A few days ago, we talked about the fact that the EU was trying to pass a law that would
change current internet copyright laws.
It could make things like meme's obsolete because it would mean that photographers would
have to be credited for their work, or even paid.
Well, apparently the EU has voted in favor of this law that would essentially ruin the
internet, and I'm going to tell you how, here for you on IO.
Welcome back to IO, I'm Charlotte Dobre.
The EU just passed a bill that would make it so that online websites have to pay to
link news stories, as well as monitor copyrighted content on their sites, including anything
that internet users post.
There are a lot of people saying that this new law will ruin the internet.
So the first issue, article 11, will make it so that websites like google and Microsoft
will have to pay publishers to repost articles on their website.
If you go to msn . com, Microsoft literally copies and pastes articles from other publications
with credit.
With The way the law currently is right now, they are allowed to do this and not pay anyone,
yet they make money off of clicks and traffic generated by the articles that they didn't
write themselves.
Article 13 directly targets websites like YouTube and Instagram, and it would require
them to install filters that would prevent people for uploading copyrighted materials
without a license.
And that's the law that everyone is extremely concerned about.
It could essentially kill meme culture, and YouTubes favorite show, meme review.
Yeah man, when you look at a meme, they are almost always featuring copyrighted photography
and videos without the consent of the artist.Article 13 could also affect live streaming, code
sharing, remixes, samples, satirical videos.
German lawmaker Jilia Reda said that the new laws would be impossible to comply with and
it will damage the way we communicate online.
On the other side, there are a lot of people in favor of this law, mainly those in creative
industries.
According to Angella Mills Wade of the European Publishers council, publishers are tired of
online companies free riding on their content.
Me personally I'm conflicted, as a creator, I know how frustrating it is when people repost
your content to generate traffic.
On the other hand, I love memes.
I cant imagine my life without them.
Could you live in a world without memes?
Let me know in those comments.
As for these new laws, we will keep you updated, they still need to go through another vote
on July 5th.
Alright its that fun part of the video where I'm going to respond to some comments.
