This summer thanks to help from everyone, the European Parliament decided not to fast track Article 13 a copyright law which could result – in the worst case scenario – in a copyright ban on fan culture and memes. But the fight is not over yet..
ON WEDNESDAY 12TH SEPTEMBER (aka Next Wednesday)
The Parliament will vote again. Though this is a vote on specifc changes in the article (I.e. drawing up a new draft) it is still a step in furthering a potentially damaging article.
CONTACT YOUR MPS, SIGN THE PETITION AGAIN, MAKE SOME NOISE.
To all my followers; please note I will be reblogging stuff like this until the decision is made on Wednesday, if Articles 11 and 13 are passed as law, my blog will likely be marked as copyright infringement. As well as this, the articles benefit major news companies and give them full power over what is broadcast – smaller ones will likely be suppressed due to a new payment that’s must be made in order to report on news events. This is in the interest of preventing the spread of fake news but is damaging to many others making legitimate content. PLEASE HELP GET EVERYONES ATTENTION BY MAKING AWARENESS OF THIS
