Now that's kinda surprising. It should be the default, not the exception. To the govt it seems the Constitution is more and more optional up to when somebody smacks them down. And the courts aren't doing it as frequently as they should.
Silly Google boy Masnick and his freetard syncophant minions, they just want everything for free and would piss in Seuss grave if they could get more freebies.
No creator in their sanity will ever produce anything anymore now that copyright is effectively dead with this ruling, it'll just be people stitching what exists together and calling it new.

I'd have to agree with you. While Facebook, Google, Microsoft (just to mention a few tech giants) may have done some pretty bad things I'm fairly sure other companies that take much less heat than they should would make the world better if they vanished today.
Now seriously, nobody intellectually honest would think of any other solution when implementing Article 13 as it is for high user-generated traffic sites. The thing is, trolls and shills can't use this argument anymore. Which is kind of an evolution.
I'm sure somebody commenting before me noticed it but the use of "algorithmic measures" seem to be one final attempt not to call the monster by its real name: "filters".
Oh look, I have no arguments against the article. Now look at this fried egg and how Masnick unceremoniously DESTROYED the yolk, proving he is a complete Google shill.
Please somebody tell me the fcc commissioners are actually being robocalled with that amazing piece of art. If it is actually happening I might have to convert and start worshiping Oliver.
I'm fairly sure there are places where invoking confidentiality due to national security concerns is valid but it seems to me this got to that "boy crying wolf" point where nobody buys it anymore because it's so overused for every little thing the govt doesn't want people to see.
In any case it's a very rare thing to see, usually the courts tend to rubber stamp national security stuff. Good.
The basic idea of having most services act like protocols seems to me pretty much the heart of the issue if we are to keep having an open, world wide web. I also believe that the blockchain models will play fundamental roles in enabling decentralized authentication systems (I imagine this would be very useful regarding cryptographic certificates, the CAs we rely on for https today).
While I'm skeptical of some of your suggestions I do think you are right in the protocols part. Hope this future comes soon, it certainly is a good part of the old internet days we should have maintained and improved.
It's kind of amusing that instead of accepting profits won't be so sexy and adapting some of them are just repeatedly shooting themselves in the feet choosing destruction over a profitable existence that's not as good as it was. Go figure.
I need to point that we dismissed a ton of comments to the FCC regarding net neutrality as bots and they never showed up in person. Maybe American bots are different?
So when are the courts declaring it unconstitutional? Because if even one of its fiercest supporters is so bluntly admitting it's unconstitutional then there's not much to discuss, no?
Somewhat late comment but here the cops are simply keeping track of the app and setting up further checkpoints on the fly to avoid the app. They tried to take it to the courts but they got a "go fuck yourselves" as an answer (figuratively speaking) and simply decided to act smart and do their jobs instead of complaining.
