It amazes me how the big media companies are still lobbying for this new directive, and yet they don’t understand that it will backfire on them.
They won’t be able to upload their content online because of the filters that they wanted to be put into place, even if they own the content. Warner Bros won’t be able to share its movie trailers online, and the music industry won’t be able to release their music on the internet.
Then, because of this, they lose lots of money because a beneficial way to connect with viewers was ultimately shut down.
In a way, all of this lobbying for the directive will come back to haunt them.
Re: Re: If the EU was a janitor, they’re Doing a crappy job!
Well don’t forget that this won’t just affect the EU. It will also affect the world’s internet. Even people like me who live in the United States of America won’t be safe from the censorship and the filters. It’s like a catastrophic forest fire. One small match can cause a deadly chain reaction.
“Article 13 will indeed do what you describe. The media companies do not magically have a better process of registering their copyrighted works than anyone else”
And when the media companies can’t put their own content online (because they lobbied for a directive that prevents any user-generated content online and damages the internet as we know it), then they’ll lose lots of money because people can’t access content online. And the companies lose a very beneficial way to communicate with the people.
So when they say that they’re trying to make the internet “more fair”, it’s actually not going to at all.
Therefore, without the Internet, there would be a lot of jobs lost, and a lot of money is lost. Hence why all of their lobbying will backfire.
The reason I mentioned Simpsons was because if I remember correctly there were several episodes that had Alien Invaders (or something). I could be mixing it up by accident, and I apologize if I did)
If it was more important to protect public interest than commercial interests, then they would’ve rejected the Copyright Directive reforms by now. But did they? Not at all. The EU has been pushing Article 13 and 11 through the entire legislative process against the will of the people, and now the rest of the world’s getting dragged down with it. Because keep in mind, the new Copyright Directive will not only affect the EU’s internet, but it will affect the world’s internet.
Actually nasch, I actually am 19 years old. My birthday typically isn’t till December.
Also, I don’t drink wine or beer because I ain’t taking any risks. Being a student at Pittsburgh Technical College showed me what responsibility is, and honestly, it does good. Thankfully with the Critical Thinking class I have, I will be able to analyze the reasons, fallacies, and form conclusions easier and thorough than before.
For example, if Warner Bros. were to try and upload a trailer for a movie, they wouldn’t be able to because of the filters provided by Article 13. The filters would be used not only on the common people, but against the companies who have been lobbying for the directive.
If that’s the case, then all that we probably will be able see on the internet is a blank screen. Nintendo probably won’t be able to share information about its games to its fans. Visual and Audio companies won’t be able to put their content on the internet. Those who are lobbying for the filter don’t realize that there always will be a backfire in their plans. Unless that’s what they intended to do in the first place.
I’m pretty sure that it’s not just the EU citizens that’ll be in danger. It’s all of us. Because the internet isn’t centralized in one area. Millions of us use it every day, no matter where we live. And if the EU gets affected with a censor, then the rest of us will end up getting dragged into the fray.
And the Thai government is also making the internet even more worse, via “Cyber Security update” which could prevent us from criticizing what the government does.
What’s next? Personal Hard Drives get affected? Illegalizing the use of technology? Shutting down the electricity grid? World War Three? An international civil war against our governments and ourselves? Or even worse...total annihilation from an unknown enemy?
These are dangerous times, everyone. Freedom of Speech is being degraded and our personal lives are degrading faster and faster every day. It’s like a Rapture all over again!
If the EU was a janitor, they’re Doing a crappy job!
If the European Union were a janitor, they would be slacking on the job, because they instead created a monstrosity of a mess with this Copyright Directive.
And I was hoping they’d reject it by now, but NOPE! They just keep rushing it without common sense and they’re basically kamikaze-ing this like an unstoppable train. (Kind of reminds me of the movie Speed)
They better get it rejected soon, because Pokémon Sword and Shield are being released and I don’t want to lose the ability to see Nintendo’s own uploads.
It really sucks how the world is constantly degrading more and more into chaos. Governments ignoring the will of its people more and more. It feels a lot like a Rapture more than anything.
Indeed the Copyright is an abomination. An abomination made by an abomination. I may live in America, but I don’t want the EU censoring the world’s internet.
It already is worse. Many different countries are shutting down the internet so that nobody can access them. Trump stated during his campaign that he wanted to close/ban the internet. Ajit Pai repeals Net Neutrality, and now the EU is planning on removing every bit of data and content off of the internet.
There are at least two things that could be going on:
The governments could be planning a Third World War and they don’t want people to find out (North Korea and Trump’s talks didn’t end well at all)
