THIS IS FUCKING BIG YOU RETARDS
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directive_on_Copyright_in_the_Digital_Single_Market
Alright guys, was a honor to shitpost with you all, but sadly the EU has finally sold itself completely to the NWO. Today at about 12 pm UTC the EU parliament will vote for the new copyright directive, which effectively places every single website under the obligation to implement upload filters.
They did it, they finally did it, they are going to destroy the internet we all love and will censor our opinions. The European part of 4chan is going to die.
I will miss you, and to all you Britbongs, leave the EU as fast as you can, save yourselves, we might live on through you.
THEY PASSED IT ALL, ALL EURO POSTERS WILL SOON LOSE ACCESS TO 4CHAN AND 8CHAN AND MANY MANY SITES
THEY PASSED THE WAY 20 MINUTES AGO

The picture can still be used in a news report if it's some news about how on 8ch board some troll made an evil nazi drawing bu they can't use it for example as a piece of art to present an article.
If you make the drawing and some trannie uploads it to tumblr to get likes for your work, you can issue take down. Most important is where you upload first your original content, some sites will offer greater tools to prove that you own that image.

So can original content posted to 8chan by 8chan users be then sent to all other companies to add to their filters so it's exclusive to 8ch and will just get auto blocked if anyone tries to upload it elsewhere?

This mostly affects big websites that make a profit from original content.
Not really. You will have to use a more commercial site. If someone wanted 8ch content blocked from other websites, what would stop your from uploading content from others which will be added by some AI and blocked automatically on other websites?
You won't be able to prove that you own the rights to the content using 8ch unless they implement a better system.
It's more about commercial use, not censorship. It could be used to censor things but it would be difficult.

no. You can file a complaint with the court of an eu member state of which the individual posting your copyrighted meme is from. Because of the law, if it ever get implemented, the court would have to involve the owners of the platform on which it got posted and you have hopefully 7 figures ready to pay for a decade long case about 50 cents
