Europe passes new copyright law that might change the internet forever
The European Parliament has backed a copyright reform law that aims to protect content creators from unauthorized usage of their work, but also brings forth some rules that are radically different from the way internet functions now.
The Copyright Directive, at one point known as the law that will kill memes, was passed with 348 votes for and 278 against. The Directive has undergone many revisions before arriving at its current state, but it still has several clauses which are highly controversial.
We welcome the adoption of #Copyright reform by MEPs #EPplenary! A strong signal for all creative sectors, press, researchers, educators & cultural heritage institutions. One solid & essential brick more to the @DSMeu! Thank you @AxelVossMdEP #ShadowRapporteurs @ro2019eu pic.twitter.com/VVRq5ejwvh
