Article 13 (now known officially as Article 17) is happening. The European Parliament voted – by 348 votes to 274 – to pass its new, comprehensive copyright directive. That includes the contentious rule some have labelled the “meme ban”, which will require internet companies to prevent the uploading of copyrighted content on their platforms, unless they get a licence from the content’s owners.
We only need to wait for each EU member states to apply the directive through national legislation, and some of form of Article 13 will become law of the land in 27 (depending on Brexit’s fate, possibly 28) countries across Europe. The process will take two years to complete.
What do you guys think of this?! I know that many people here are working with copyright material so its kinda bad for creators
