#linktax

Yesterday's vote on amendments to the Copyright Directive in the EP was controversial - in the main due to two issues, in the main #LinkTax (Article 11) and #UploadFilters (Article 13) The details of the Roll Call votes are now available here: http://www.europarl.europa.eu/sides/getDoc.do?pubRef=-%2f%2fEP%2f%2fNONSGML%2bPV%2b20180912%2bRES-RCV%2bDOC%2bPDF%2bV0%2f%2fEN&language=EN … 1/8

Article 11 #LinkTax was passed 393 for, 279 against. This one was not a Roll Call Vote (as @michelreimon pointed out in response to an earlier version of this thread - thread hence re-posted) 2/8

#Article13 #LinkTax "Without prejudice to Article 3(1) and (2) of Directive 2001/29/EC, online content sharing service providers perform an act of communication to the public. They shall therefore conclude fair and appropriate licensing agreements with right holders."

I hear activists using those terms. I think the *upload filter* and *link tax* is *catastrophic*. (I do however realize your tweet wasn't aimed at me) #article13 #artikel13 #linktax #savetheinternet #censorship #uploadfilter

The longer we go, the more the #EuropeanParliament shows it doesn't have the technical knowhow to make the rules. Nobody with technical knowledge, who's on the side of citizens, would've voted for #linktax/#uploadfilter So EP, either you're incompetent, or corrupt. Your choice.

I hope it will! but one thing I can't understand: if this law (#linktax) failed in Germany and Axel Voss is German citizen so he should be very well aware that introduction of this law is harmful and will not improve situation of publishers. So my question is: why the pressure?

This a finger-pointing, moralistic, petty bourgeois bill entirely based on what former French President Sarkozy called, "civilizing the Internet", i.e. breaking it to neuter its transformatory and liberatory capacities along with its genuinely dangerous ones.

When regulators play straight into the hands of business giants! #CopyrightReform with it's fangs of #linktax and #Uploadfilter, effectively eliminate scope of new content platforms. #tech #EUcopyright #regulation #stupid Takedown by @ycombinator https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17967366 …

I'm going to have to take some time off laughing about Trump to cry about the European Parliament. #linktax #uploadfilter

..press publications could have copyright over the sharing of their content online - effectively a #linktax although hyperlinks may be exempt..

So, blogging is dead in the EU now. #linktax #Article11

This is total BS. You obviously do not care what EU or BG citizens value. #LinkTax & #uploadfilters will repress the innovation of information discovery technologies and instead of fighting the monopoly of the big players this will establish it even further.

Last chance to stop the #LinkTax and the #UploadFilters coming up next Spring. Talk to your governments!https://twitter.com/Senficon/status/1039843600702554112 …

The funny part about the #CopyrightDirective is, an argument was that we need to get this done because legislation takes way too long to go back to the start. But #Linktax negotiations with Google will take years and programming #Uploadfilters will so too.
