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

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.

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.

It is only about censorship.
The EU Commissar did say this straight: "Article 13 would have prevented ISIS and Tarrant by censoring radicalizing content" >>13027027
Even "comercial use" would me censorship only, or how do you think they would defend their not "original content"?
It is to silence dissidents and unwelcome competitors.

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?

Texas tried to do something like this where they were trying to ban deep links. It was some dumb old people who didn't understand how the internet works.

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
