Can anyone explain to me why the hell did the EU pull this move when a year & a half ago they had a study that said piracy does not harm the sales of any media at all? Are they THAT stupid? At least when the US government tried pass SOPA & PIPA, they never made a government study of whether piracy harming the sales of media or not before the burgers made SOPA & PIPA.
does not harm the sales of any media at all
Your own article says it hurts movie sales by a good amount (40%), but besides that no other media form is hurt at all by this. It's solely about censorship and taxation, steal more money by throwing in BS commie taxation clauses and censor bad goy opinions in one fell swoop. It will only backfire on them as civil unrest grows and countries that are against the EU already begin to resent them even more.
Censorship. The EU itself in hanging by a fine, thin, fragile thread, and popular opinion is turning against them fast. Too fast in fact for such bureaucratic behemoth to react effectively, the larger your bureaucracy and size, slower your reactions, the same applies to corporations, and most business.
The only way to extend their life is by censorship, and try to fix all the main problems, but it won't matter, the economy will go to shit pretty fucking soon. The EU project is finished, this is the last tantrum of Brussels retarded elite. Whenever you analyze any problem, remember brother, whatever they say they are tackling is smokes and mirrors, the real reason always lies deeper.
