Is this something akin to the EU’s Articles 11 and 13...?

Sorry, I'm not familiar with EU rules and regs.

That court will be clogged with cases. Guess they want to build another big, new bureaucracy. Who’s going to pay for it? Not a hard guess.

No new court systems or tribunals to protect the “interests” of abusive monopolies ALL of which steal works by private citizens and abuse their OWN intellectual property rights of copyright.

The news steal “viral video” without pay every damn day.

Zapruder’s name would be unknown today and his footage would be considered “public domain” by the monopolies.

Nope Nope Nope.

Links only... On the flip side it would be easy on server space. (sarc) Every website would have to be original material, or just nothing more than a simple link directory.

It’s the great “Meme-Lord War” and it will decide the fate of the internet.

Not even joking. This is the anti-meme gestapo and they are coming for Pepe, you and I...

This could be counter productive to those with copyrights also though. Free samples and exposure sells more popularity.

Bottom line is that Disney can afford to rent more Congressmen than you or I can. So Big Media can get whatever they want.

Except Helen Thomas. They have been public domain for at least 300 years.

Part of the plan for the NEW WORLD ORDER. Look who voted to give away the internet.

Thanks. I had no idea the EU had passed such legislation.

Horrible.
