topics like The LIBRARY basement will disappear because of this , even for a few lines of txt, a picture and free advertisement for a site you have to pay (and not to mention the EU controlled uploadfilter)
And The huge problems for GOOGLE… this is one of the stupids things that came out of BRUSSEL, lucky we Europeans can vote in May.
“In a stunning rejection of the will five million online petitioners, and over 100,000 protestors this weekend, the European Parliament has abandoned common-sense and the advice of academics, technologists, and UN human rights experts, and approved the Copyright in the Digital Single Market Directive in its entirety.”
The latter in particular – known commonly as the ‘upload filter’ because critics said it would result in a strict filter on any uploaded content – went down to the wire during today’s vote, with a last-minute proposal to remove it entirely being narrowly rejected by MEPs by just five votes.
Its final approval – whereby it must now be passed to member states to turn it into national law – means content-sharing platforms must license copyright-protected material from the rights holders. If this is not done, or is not possible, the platform must show it made “best efforts” to obtain permission and ensure the material specified by the rights holder was not made available.

At least Article 13 (now Article 15 after re-numbering exercise!) should still allow us to ‘hyperlink’ to such news articles as we currently do with a link, a short representative text and, where available and allowed by the source site, a small thumbnail type picture or a graphic as currently shown in the ‘Library’, we can add our own comments or observations (counts as user generated content) etc. as we currently do. What it will stop or attempt to block is wholesale scrapping and re-posting of articles without license and will make subject either to license or take-down requests. Big tech - Google, Facebook, Twitter et al hate it but should be manageable for most but it will change how we use the 'Net and impose restrictions. Meme’s wont die but our ability to use (abuse) copyright may be curtailed and we will need to consider further what we self generate versus re-use/re-post. We may have to consider original copyright and the fact that big tech, including some strong copyright holders/creators in their own right, are well know for creating apparently ‘orphaned’ works where getting to the original copyright owner to obtain permission is frustrating and often near impossible, is no excuse and makes life harder for all. But at least those whose livelihoods are dependent on realising some payment and value for their creations will get another option for recompense. Every cloud has a silver lining as they say! The risk is movement to sensorship and if (especially larger) companies react by imposing automatic filters that are by definition imperfect and restrict freedoms, with recourse to common sense and human audit.
