Article 13
-
Except YouTube already has the infrastructure in place to comply. In fact, they comply with it so efficiently that they'll take down content you own just because a large media corp claims that they own it. :doh: Family Guy Used NES Game Footage From YouTube, Then Claimed Copyright on Same Video - GameSpot[^] Smaller companies trying to challenge YouTube probably wouldn't be able to afford to implement a similar automated enforcement tool, making it almost impossible for them to compete. (Assuming the regulations actually apply to small sites. But who decides what's "small"?) I'm still waiting to see whether it will apply to sites like CodeProject, and how the hamsters will cope with having to run every single word anyone posts through a massive database of copyright claims before allowing it to appear. :~

"Sorry but copyright on 'Object not set to an instance of an object' belongs to someone else." Might not be a bad thing...

Article 13 has now been approved by the EU. I can't work out if this is a good thing or a bad thing. I've been reading articles about it, and there seem to be both pros and cons to this new EU legislation. European Parliament backs copyright changes - BBC News[^] What do others think?

Well, this take on it doesn't sound particularly promising: Europe just voted to wreck the internet, spying on everything and censoring vast swathes of our communications / Boing Boing[^]

As most of the political incitatives last years... it is a relative good idea, that is going to be misused and will make a hell of a mess.
M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

I fear you could be wrong. I was reading that the legislation applies to ALL sites up to a certain size (a certain number of registered users is being touted as the benchmark for implementing the legislation). Above that size, you must implement it.

And that is why the whole thing is a BS money-grab. It's only a law for people with deep pockets? Can they be any more blatant?
We won't sit down. We won't shut up. We won't go quietly away. YouTube, VidMe and My Mu[sic], Films and Windows Programs, etc. and FB

Interesting, I get feeling it is one of those laws which will cause more problems while not solving the intended issue... like most of my plans works in theory only...

THats the EU all over isnt it?

and Poland will just veto that. They will support each other making a mockery of the EU.
Keep your friends close. Keep Kill your enemies closer. The End
And of course the EU would never actually throw a country out, so all it can do is pull funding.

A shame. Satire should never be limited, it is the health and life blood of a modern country!

It depends on the countries revenue, how much it pays to the EU, and how much it receives. Of course the country could always threaten to ditch the Euro if it was too adversely affected. This would be such a shock to the EU that it would soon give in.

That's a balance of €3 Billion. And €8.5 for Poland.

Poland and Hungary are not part of the EURO-zone. There is no Euro to ditch for them.

It reminds me of the whole Metallica debacle where they sued people for downloading and not paying for their music. Strangely enough many smaller bands were negatively affected by this as they depended on fans exchanging downloaded music to become better known. I have not read the article in full but from what I have heard it sounds like a step backwards. It's going to make it very difficult for people to do things like offer commentaries or tutorials on musical pieces or comment on films and other videos. The open community, for want of a better set of words, allows a decent exchange of ideas and is pretty good at policing itself. I remember a case where someone lifted one of my articles word for word and claimed they had written it. My fellow code project comrades let the person know in no uncertain terms that what they were doing was deeply unethical and their copy of my article disappeared within hours. So most of the time I have faith in the online community policing itself and think that Article 13 is unnecessary.
