Article 13

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...

and Poland will just veto that. They will support each other making a mockery of the EU.

And of course the EU would never actually throw a country out, so all it can do is pull funding.

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?

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

Wouldn't that be quite efficient enough?

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.
