The EU parliament representatives are elected dumbass, but it is true that they tend to operate under a cover of darkness and use it to pass laws that would get those politicians raked over hot coals if they were working domestically.

It doesn't affect them you dip. It just creates a huge barrier for entry by forcing everyone to implement costly, overzealous, easier to trigger than a SJW ContentID-esque systems. Anything you post will be scrubbed through a big filter and if it matches anything it'll be deleted with prejudice. Big players can afford that, but small time sites are fucked.

You do realize that this law applies only on for-profit entities, right? I can link as much as I want on my website without paying anything to anyone.
There is no point in pretending that this law is anything other than EUs response to Facebook, Google and similar companies de facto monopoly status.

I agree with you on theory but in reality whats happening is that the worst offenders (faceshit, goolag, etc) are "complying" while the small ones like that site arent. Why? because it costs money, money they dont have but the big megacorps do.
This basically kills a whole bunch of their competition.

>because of all the gold silver and precious stones they were pillaging from the new world
This is actually what ruined Spain and ended their status as a regional superpower. You see, shiny metals and stones are not wealth. They are a good exchange medium substituting for actual wealth (useful shit of all kinds), since their supply is scarce and relatively fixed - and this is exactly what was ruined by the flood of costlies from the New World. This is literally the equivalent of a banana republic printing fiat money left and right and ending with ridiculous hyperinflation and banknotes denominated in gorillions - except without need for fiat money or a republic or bananas.

I had a discussion on this with my accounting professor (am a europoor). Here in my country, if you register as non-profit, the financial agencies will be investigating asap, because here running a non-profit is considered shady since it is very hard to do legally. If you'd finance it through donations you wouldn't register it as non-profit but a "Verein", which exempts it from all the non-profit perks you get from the EU.
The EU is hot unorganized garbage. I hate this place, thank god I'm only taking the internationally applicable classes.

>This is actually what ruined Spain and ended their status as a regional superpower.
Spain was powerful while it was going on because they could just buy whatever they needed from other European countries. Its the reason why they never industrialized, because the entire country was basically on welfare they had no reason to genuinely improve their economy like the other Euro nations.
So you aren't wrong when you said that it ruined Spain, but I wasn't implying it didn't either.
>This is literally the equivalent of a banana republic printing fiat money
A banana republic is a country which is dominated by a single export industry to the point where that industry basically controls the entire country because of how easily they can manipulate politicians (if there even is any). Banana republics don't have to have a fiat currency, its just the modern examples of them (namely the US, whose export is war) have a fiat currency system.

>The EU is hot unorganized garbage.
Thats because the EU is a result of Eurpoeans looking at the US and how its a union of states and wanting to emulate that, but they forgot that the one thing that Europeans hate more than Americans is other Europeans so of course it was going to turn into a gigantic dumpster fire.

Whether it was done by accident (natural uninspired accumulation of procedure over time) or done on purpose, the EU is practically an implementation of the Soviet Union in the European states. What's different about the EU institution is that while it has more freedoms than the Soviet Union ever had, the EU as an institution well on its way to emulating the Soviet Union in actual practice.

As you can see, no left-wing political parties voted in favor of this shit and all the parties that voted in favor lean right. Which makes sense, because left-wing political parties will never vote in favor of a law that gives more money and power to transnational companies.

The "centrist" parties are essentially big government welfare socialists as most european parties are. This is left-wing. You cannot in good faith argue that eg. CDU and merkel aren't left leaning.
The greens support more right-wing economical policies than any of the "centrist" parties you listed.

>Lifting the veil on the secretive EU copyright negotiations that start today: Here’s where we stand
>Today, the first “Trilogue” meeting is held on the EU copyright reform law infamous for its “link tax” and upload filter provisions.
>In this series of closed-door meetings, the European Parliament and the Council (representing the member state governments) hammer out a final text acceptable to both institutions. It’s the last chance to make changes before the Directive gets adopted. Meetings are currently scheduled until Christmas, although whether the process will be concluded by then is up in the air.

>Unfortunately, a new problem has arisen in the negotiations on the copyright exceptions: Council is threatening existing copyright exceptions for research and education. Today, all Member States of the EU allow the use of copyright protected works for research and education to some extent. Generally, these exceptions for teaching purposes do not require any technical measures to ensure that only students can access the content. Several Member States certainly allow the use of the education exception online.
>Parliament is of the opinion that the new mandatory exception for teaching is supposed to provide a common standard for all of the EU to allow cross-border teaching activities, because the existing education exceptions are always bound to the territory of one country. By no means is the new mandatory teaching exception supposed to limit what is allowed under the existing optional exception for research and education.
>Council, on the other hand, has now completely out of the blue proposed a new Article 17a that says that existing exceptions for education, text and data mining or preservation can only be maintained if they don’t contradict the rules of the newly introduced mandatory exceptions. In the case of teaching, this would mean that national teaching exceptions that don’t require limiting access to the educational material by using a “secure electronic environment” would no longer apply!
>This is outrageous given that the whole stated purpose of the new mandatory exceptions was to make research and education easier, not to erect new barriers. If as a consequence of the new mandatory teaching exception, teaching activities in some countries that have been legal all along would no longer be legal, then the reform would have spectacularly failed at even its most modest goal of facilitating research and education. It’s therefore of utmost importance that Parliament must insist that any copyright exception that is legal under existing EU copyright law remains legal if this new Directive is passed.

I still find it hard to believe that this will ever be implemented in a way that would be truly impactful and significant. EU bureaucrats are retards with no actual comprehension of how technology and the internet works and do not understand how costly and complex this endeavour is.
