so what you're saying is if i copyright my face, anytime an agency uses it they have to inform and pay me or they're breaking the law?

LMFAO bye eurofags. Disconnect the EU from the world.

People in the US think companies that do business in the EU wont comply, are you crazy? The same reason twitter and facebook censor hate speech, and guess what, it impacts us too because people continue to choose facebook and twitter over sites like voat and 8ch. Then it all becomes normal. Then it comes here. rip internet
Good. The faster US companies comply with EU law, the faster they get challenged in court and the 1st amendment is enforced on the Internet by the SCOTUS.
Can we just expedite and get it over with? Tails we lose, heads we win - so the faster we get the ball rolling the better.

I predict advancements in the blockchain (those that exist today and those being developed) will create a decentralized internet 2.0 in the very near future.

Yep, they just opened the biggest can of worms in history.
Even if they got something established, it will be literal years of testing and creeping the degrees by which something constitutes fair use or transformation, because users will naturally test the shit out of it down to the bleeding edge.
Literally, starting now, every image or work has to be scanned and manipulated by degrees and uploaded and tested and challenged against the filtering system, opening the whole thing up to legal challenges on every strata of potential usage.
All ending on the final challenge of what constitutes an effective Copyright claim anyway?
Movies, images, music, text all takes from the collective "stew" of culture.
And what is truly unique? How much of movie X can remind the audience of movie Y before a copyright claim can be launched and the filtering system made to block it reaching streaming services? And if an allowance is made there, then the bleeding-edge percentage established by case law of what does and doesn't create legal transformation, and a new original work, can then be applied to memes and fan fic and remixes and every other fucking thing.
This whole scam is yet another socialist/marxist/globalist construct that lives and dies on there being a central Ministry of Truth that rules on everything, according to the whims of the particular rubber-stamp wielding Commisar on duty that day.
Centralized political authority over all things. It's literally the only play they have because their
ideas don't work out in the free market.

This is serious. I am affraid that the internet in EU will end soon in the way we know it. They are so affraid of free speech and free communication they are willing to destroy the internet in EU as we know it and the EU economy with it. They don't care, they just want to stop free and unrestricted communication. All they dream of is to return to the TV time, where the only informtion you could get was the one specially prepared for you by "professionals". This is the goal.

Eh, the US built the first internet, we can build another one. With blackjack and hookers.

Looks like it exists on this internet. Not really what I expected though.

It's going to start with copyright, and then escalate to things like "hate speech."
