Don't worry we'll figure out a way to send you pirated wikipedia articles and memes, like how England broadcasted the BBC in German during WW2.
It should be said that these are a combination of article 13 and article 11. With article 11 being the liscencing and payment nonsense and 13 being the amendment to copyright which enables it. So you cant' look at one in isolation since the beast is in both.
According to this Swedish article one of the drafters of the Copyright Directive didn't know about a part that makes it so you can't film sports events and it won't be in

"This was kind of a mistake, i think, by the JURI Committee. Someone amended this, nobody has been aware of this", Axel Voss said.He added: "I didn't know that this was in the proposal so far, so I have to deal
with it now" "Yes, do not consider that the commission and council will have this inside the proposal".
Axel Voss stated that the time pressure made the politicians focus their attention on issues such as article 11 and 13. "So we have been surprised that this has been in the text, but off course we have to discuss
this", he said.
According to Voss' assistant, the proposal intends to regulate online betting companies, rather than private citizens.
Sorry but you're going to jail for hotlinking that image.
Big Dave's Image Production™ has copyright on that.
Have fun dropping the soap bud!
I am not surprised in the least. Like one of the MEP's said during the hearing pre-vote: "This draft is such a mess and intentionally vague, no one will actually understand what it is they're voting on, and
they (Axel Voss, I assume) know this." Not an exact quote, but something along those lines.
As far as I've been told, every country is allowed to interpret and implement these 'laws' as they see fit. I honestly can't see the Netherlands putting this shit high on the priority list, considering that as it's written this law is virtually impossible to uphold, and the Netherlands have always been a country where internet freedom has been regarded very highly. I imagine article 13 is going to lead to a lot of drama down the line because no one can properly execute it.
It's already been shown that companies will abuse copyright law to takedown their competition simply because every website automatically follows through with their requests without actually fact-checking to see if they actually own the content.
Copyright law is corporate tyranny.
Fucking abolish that shit.
About as likely as sociopath CEOs stopping the moral requirement to make profit at the expense of the world
