We have till around the 4th July to try and fix this.
I believe that this now proposed law is flawed when it comes to fanart and fan created works. Although it’s apparently trying to protect creative work and publication that are posted online, by making sure they aren’t posted elsewhere. Websites will be required to put in a system that flags anything that breaches copyright so this could include fanart as the artist will not have a license for the characters used in the artwork.
I can see both the good and the bad in this proposed law change.
On one hand, my original artwork will be more protected than ever ( on my illustration Instagram account) it on the other hand, I may no longer be able to post fanart. My small tributes to show my appreiecation for a series or character.. I and many others are most likely in the same situation.
This is why I urge you to contact your MEPs. Explain your concerns as this could affect us all.
Heres hoping it’s not as bad as it sounds if it does stay 😦
