European Copyright Law Isn't Great. It Could Soon Get a Lot Worse.; Electronic Frontier foundation, April 10, 2018

Jeremy Malcolm, Electronic Frontier Foundation; European Copyright Law Isn't Great. It Could Soon Get a Lot Worse.

"EFF has been writing about the upcoming European Digital Single Market directive on copyright for a long time now. But it's time to put away the keyboard, and pick up the phone, because the proposal just got worse—and it's headed for a crucial vote on June 20-21. 

For those who need no further introduction to the directive, which would impose an upload filtering mandate on Internet platforms (Article 13) and a link tax in favor of news publishers (Article 11), you can skip to the bottom of this post, where we link to an action that European readers can take to make their voice heard. But if you're new to this, here's a short version of how we got here and why we're worried."
