It's more about commercial use, not censorship.
It is only about censorship.
Even "comercial use" would me censorship only, or how do you think they would defend their not "original content"?
Article 13 would not and will not do any such thing. They would have to shutdown all news and poke out people's eyes to blind everyone of jews White genocide agenda. Commentary in the chans and elsewhere isn't the source of the outrage, it's the venting of it. Everyone is still going to see everything, just won't be able to talk about it.
It's about commercial rights, not censorship.

Creatives and news publishers will be empowered to negotiate with internet giants thanks to new copyright rules which also contain safeguards on freedom of expression.
MEPs adopted the directive in plenary by 348 votes in favour, 274 against and 36 abstentions. This marks the end of the legislative process for the European Parliament that began in 2016. It will now be down to member states to approve Parliament’s decision in the coming weeks. If the member states accept the text adopted by the European Parliament, it will take effect after publication in the official journal and then member states will have 2 years to implement it.
The directive aims to ensure that the longstanding rights and obligations of copyright law also apply to the internet. YouTube, Facebook and Google News are some of the internet household names that will be most directly affected by this legislation.
A press conference with the rapporteur Axel Voss and MEPs Helga Trupel and Sajjad Karim will be held at 15.00 and can be viewed here.
The directive aims to enhance rights holders’ chances, notably musicians, performers and script authors, (creatives) as well as news publishers, to negotiate better remuneration deals for the use of their works when these feature on internet platforms. It does this by making internet platforms directly liable for content uploaded to their site and by automatically giving the right to news publishers to negotiate deals on behalf of its journalists for news stories used by news aggregators.
Numerous provisions are specifically designed to ensure the internet remains a space for freedom of expression.
As sharing snippets of news articles is specifically excluded from the scope of the directive, it can continue exactly as before. However, the directive also contains provisions to avoid news aggregators abusing this. The ‘snippet’ can therefore continue to appear in a Google News newsfeeds, for example, or when an article is shared on Facebook, provided it is “very short”.
Uploading protected works for quotation, criticism, review, caricature, parody or pastiche has been protected even more than it was before, ensuring that memes and Gifs will continue to be available and shareable on online platforms.
Many online platforms will not be affected
The text also specifies that uploading works to online encyclopedias in a non-commercial way, such as Wikipedia, or open source software platforms, such as GitHub, will automatically be excluded from the scope of this directive. Start-up platforms will be subject to lighter obligations than more established ones.
Authors and performers will be able to claim additional remuneration from the distributor exploiting their rights when the remuneration originally agreed is disproportionately low when compared to the benefits derived by the distributer.
The directive aims to make it easier for copyrighted material to be used freely through text and data mining, thereby removing a significant competitive disadvantage that European researchers currently face. It also stipulates that copyright restrictions will not apply to content used for teaching or illustration.
Finally, the directive also allows copyrighted material to be used free-of-charge to preserve cultural heritage. Out-of-commerce works can be used where no collective management organisation exists that can issue a license.
Currently, internet companies have little incentive to sign fair licensing agreements with rights holders, because they are not considered liable for the content that their users upload. They are only obliged to remove infringing content when a rights holder asks them to do so. However, this is cumbersome for rights holders and does not guarantee them a fair revenue. Making internet companies liable will enhance rights holders’ chances (notably musicians, performers and script authors, as well as news publishers and journalists) to secure fair licensing agreements, thereby obtaining fairer remuneration for the use of their works exploited digitally.
Quote from the rapporteur, Axel Voss (EPP, DE)
“This directive is an important step towards correcting a situation which has allowed a few companies to earn huge sums of money without properly remunerating the thousands of creatives and journalists whose work they depend on.
At the same time, the adopted text contains numerous provisions that will guarantee that the internet remains a space for free expression. These provisions were not in themselves necessary, because the directive will not be creating any new rights for rights holders. Yet we listened to the concerns raised and chose to doubly guarantee the freedom of expression. The ‘meme’, the ‘gif’, the ‘snippet’ are now protected more than ever before.
So it's kind of just an extension or revision of existing law which will make it easier for individuals or companies to have their content removed more promptly from the likes of youtube.
Would a reasonable example be a small company that makes crime shows for TV similar to 48 hours investigates would have an easier time and swifter response into having that content removed from youtube?
Or someone that has the rights to certain WW2 images could have any video featuring their image removed?
Is that it, is it literally not going to affect pretty much anything for normal people and chan'ers?
Or someone that has the rights to certain WW2 images could have any video featuring their image removed?
It doesn't affect that. Content for educational purposes is not affected as long as the company that made the documentary is non-profit and not some movie studio selling the documentary on netflix.

Dream on dude, financial losses through ripped off content is actually peanuts for them. Nothing compared to what they waste elsewhere. And do you really think they would ever say hey we gonna police the internet like China; just forget it. this is only about control and power and they just built the legal base for the next step on the ladder to their orwellian surveilance rstate.

For 100th time, right wing content was already censored by corporations without any government pressure needed.
[–] 17653698? ago
yeah, I said so, though I guess its hard to keep track fellow torfag. Anyways, now every corporation is legally obliged to act. this is fundamentally different from doing something on their own and no, this will not end with big corps, they will turn the screw everyday a little tighter until nothing is left of what little freedom of speech we had. mark my words
