The European Parliament’s Committee on Legal Affairs voted by 15 votes to 10 to adopt Article 13 and by 13 votes to 12 to adopt Article 11.
Somebody know how to check who is represented in the Commitee?

It is only a disaster if your business relies on making use of other people work, in which they own the copyright.
Not everybody can afford to create stuff and give it away for free, and there are plenty of people who want to earn money from there creative work.
Those who have made a living from steeling other peoples’ material are up in arms that their free lunch not going to be free anymore.
Or you run any kind of site where users can input anything that another visitor can see. Not just video and file sharing sites; Lobsters users could paste copyrighted content into a comment/PM and I’d be liable for not having a system implementing some kind of copyright controls.
(To say nothing of Article 11 wanting us to start paying the news sites we link to for privilege of sending them traffic.)
If somebody posted something here that I owned the copyright to, and I asked Lobsters admin to remove the material, then I imagine they would. If somebody kept posting this material they could be banned.
Or are you saying that the Lobsters’ site should be a place where anybody can post copyright material, without any recourse by the copyright holder?
The new law changes this standard safe harbor behavior. Lobsters (me) is presumptively at fault for copyright infringement for not proactively checking for possibly-copyrighted material before posting. So yes, your scenario is the current, reasonable law and accurately describes why everyone is concerned about this change.
Lots of FUD being generated by those who will lose out. Copyright holders not making much noise about the fact they will probably make some money (or rather lose less).
Some good points about what is going on.
The law isn’t about that, though. The new law doesn’t say admins must take-down on request (that’s already the case under existing law) but rather that they must have an AI system that prevents any infringing uploads from happening in the first place.
The link tax is a much bigger problem, especially lobsters, but both articles are very bad.
How is that any different from what @pushcx said? As the owner/operator of lobste.rs he would have to abide by this law and produce, or buy access to some sort of copyrighted work database in order to test for it for all content that is created on lobsters.
That’s not going to make it easy for startups. That’s not going to make it easy for privately owned, independent side projects. That’s just going to hurt.
ALSO, you’d better not quote any part of my message if you reply, because I could, apparently, legitimately sue lobsters for not enforcing my copyright. e.g. there’s no such thing as fair use anymore.
(yes, that’s a stretch, but that seems to be the basic threat)
I replied before @pushcx and yes, it seems we agree on how bad it is :)
Blargh! I am sorry. I misread the thread and thought you were replying to pushcx.
Or lobster gets a fine when you submit a link to any European news sites.
What’s worse is that people will devise a way to signal what content is linkable and what only with license. This will limit quality news dissemination and strengthen fake news position. This will help to kill EU. Sad, right?
most probably that lobster will be not able to post most of the links
