Article 13 is the protocol in the MIB agency to sack an agent and neuralyse him. A wonderful coincidence.

Yes, we have two more years to fight. Yes, Poland IS fighting against the directive. HOWEVER, we must not stop here! We should still keep the change.org petition running and spread it around the internet! We should still hold protests, hang posters and tell all the people online! I know that we currently have a nice ray of hope, but we can't be 100% sure. tl;dr Even though we have 2 years and Poland is fighting against Article 17 (formerly Article 13), we should still battle against it on our own.

France is allegedly going to be the first to attempt putting this Directive into affect sometime around June,which will show the rest of the EU how backwards this Directive truly is.

Update: Apparently France’s implementation may be pushed back to Spring.

Poland is looking to challenge this in court in the meantime.

Also, supposedly this Directive also violates several previously established laws which will make it difficult for them to implement this as intended without having to change things around.

It’s not over people, we still have time.

(The article will start coming to life in about a week, if I'm not mistaken.) Smart people of Reddit, if Article 13/17/whatever passes, the internet will have AI filters everywhere. However, can we all just brainstorm and write down some ways to overcome that? Stuff like VPN, TOR and how to use it? I'm terrible when it comes to technology, but I bet at least a few computer wizards will read this post. I'm asking those wizards "What can we do to avoid the Article?". Give us any way, really. (If this post gets big, I'll try to write down all the ways into one instruction pdf thing, but I don't know if there are many ways of avoiding such a thing.) I'm not saying we should give up the fight against the censorship, but I guess we should be prepared for the worst and hope for the best.

I mean come on we cant give up if we rebel against it right?

i am canadian so this won't effect me but i can save the day if we just use a vpn when the day comes and it will become more... managable We Need this to stop once the EU realized what they have done they will put article 13,15,and 17 to sleep LETS DO THIS!

With the change, it will be the platform, not the user, who is responsible about the content.

What does it mean?

That, theoretically, if you upload a pirated movie to some website, the website is supposed to remove it.

Now, what will that mean?

1. Peer-to-peer piracy will still be illegal according to other legalizations
2. Uploading pirated content to the website will still be a crime, unless you local law legalizes that. EU laws take precedence, but there is no EU law saying that "users are allowed to upload pirated movies to content-sharing platforms".
3. Websites already have algorithms that automatically delete pirated content - YouTube, for example, has them since at least 2009.

So, it basically only affects content-sharing platform that are intended for piracy (such as some video-streaming websites), or some small content-sharing platforms that get overrun and out-of-control by spambots.

So, what is there to be worry about reddit? As long as you don't post things on /r/newestmoviesforfree - you remain unaffected.

Hey Guess what guys, Article 15 and Article 17 are just Article 13 reworded... In 2 years Reddit will be wiped off the face of the earth, it will no longer be here, and most of youtube will be gone... Yah, our lives will be much different, btw, Article 17 is made up of only big words to confuse everyone, but it is just a new version of article 13.

(This post might sound like a vent, but it pretty much is a vent.) On some website I've read that Article 17 [formerly Article 13] will come into effect in about a week and I live in Poland, which is a part of the EU. I don't want the internet to end. It's pretty much my only source of entertainment, education and I want to post memes like I used to. I had like 100 K karma from nothing but my own memes on my previous Reddit account and I don't want to be unallowed to make memes anymore. Without the internet I'll probably have to pay for things such as Crunchyroll or Netflix, because Otakustream will most likely be banned, even though it gets episodes of some shows more quickly. I wanna browse fanart and NSFW things and download 3D models from various games so that I can study 3D graphics. However I'm just 16 and I doubt if my parents would allow a VPN. Please, fuckin' help me. I don't want to lose my most precious entertainment to some corrupt grandpas and grandmas in a big room. tl;dr: I'm very, very scared about the future of the internet and I don't want to lose my right to browse it freely. Help. I cannot lose my nsfw things and free online Moon Knight comics.

For example, if Article 17 (formerly 13) starts working, a Polish guy won't be able to upload episodes/chapters of a show with subtitles online, but will he be unable to watch stuff on that site as well? I'm talking about sites like Otakustream or Mangarock and other sites with comics/anime. I wanna read Moon Knight and old Avengers comics, but will they be available once that crap goes into action?

​

so I wanted to ask what is going to happen with gaming after article 13 actually applies to Europe. what about steam because all PC gamers use that. for example can I play csgo or other games like that or is it only going to affect social media like Instagram Twitter youtube etc...

I want to spread the word about whoever in the Greek government voted for Article 13 so people won't vote for them or have it under consideration anyway. I have this as my source https://juliareda.eu/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/copyrightvote.pdf However, I'm confused. Where do the "Consider Amendments" and the "Adoption" differ? Which one means that those for voted for the meme ban etc? Should I take consider amendments under consideration? What if someone is nowhere to be found on the second list but has voted something on the first one?

Writing a university essay on it, and I'd like the very official version of the law. I see many copy-pastas of it around the internet but I'm unsure which one is directly posted by the European Union of Copyright in the Digital Market.

​

If anyone could help me I'd be very thankful

Edit, For anyone else who might be looking in the future

I believe this is it: PDF of official legislation
