When Neil Gaiman, one of the most beloved authors in the world, speaks out against a copyright proposal, you KNOW it must be bad.

I feel like I should write a blog post about #Article13 and I know which points I need to carry across but I'm struggling to begin writing because I don't want to be wrong about something law-related. Feels very high-stakes

The EU's proposed #Article13 wouldn't just mean upload filters for websites. Your favourite game could be next. https://kotaku.com/proposed-eu-copyright-law-could-cause-problems-for-fan-1827032250 source: https://twitter.com/eff/status/1009943777291657216
Directivas Copyright : Luchamos en contra del filtrado automatizado ... y la centralización del web

Had a huddled conversation in the European Parliament with a colleague after the JURI vote trying to work out what #article13 would mean for federated/decentralized services like #mastodon and #ipfs . We’ll need to see the final text which may not be available until next week.
So folks, the #article13 and #linktax proposals will be going soon to the EU parlaiment, and if they pass they will become a serious problem for the #Fediverse:
* To automatically filter copyrighted materials, even badly, you need a way to reference those materials. Even our largest instances probably can't afford access!
* Our instances will not be able to afford licenses to link to news sites under the new #LinkTax rules.

LIVE IN EU? Find your MEPs and tell them to do the right thing in the plenary vote later this year. http://www.europarl.europa.eu/meps/en/map.html

BREAKING: The EU JURI committee has passed #Article13. This requires sites to filter all submissions against a database of copyrighted works—creating a #CensorshipMachine that puts thousands of daily activities and millions of Internet users at the mercy of algorithmic filters. source: https://twitter.com/eff/status/1009365088191569920
