IT'SKADYKATT!

“Can you hear me, Princess Mononoke? Here I am. You wish to avenge your tribe. There are some here who seek vengeance for husbands killed by your wolves.”

“We often want it so badly that we ruin it before it begins. Overthinking. Fantasizing. Imagining. Expecting. Worrying. Doubting. Just let it naturally evolve”

1. Today (2018-07-05) it didn’t pass, we won!: TRUE, it will be reanalyzed on September, but this time there will be a public and democratic debate, those controversial articles will be almost for sure changed o abolished. We can say that is a HUGE win, they can’t resubmit it without change it. So, we avoid the biggest danger. On September we’ll see.
2. I will not be able to see my fave Europen Youtubers anymore: FAKE, gamers always been legally okay because gaming companies allowed the “let’s play” content. They also let “let’s players” monetize their videos on gaming companies intellectual property.
3. Memes will be banned: MAYBE NOT, could be that just a few, it depends on how comprehensive of the meme culture movie/series/music companies are. Could still happen that they allow it. STILL…. Memes are image parodies, so if removed could be disputed. Stick with me, I will explain this later.
4. The frightening censorship machine: DOESN’T EXIST, online just give this bad name making bigger the simple fact that recognition systems could exchange a parody for a real content. Youtube already have this systems for their monetization system, and there are a lot of parodies and people made complains!!
5. I can’t do remixes, memes or parodies anymore: FAKE, this directive will not touch the 2001/29/CE action Article 5 paragraph 3 letters d) (quotations for purposes such as criticism or review) and k) (use for the purpose of caricature, parody or pastiche). BUT the new law also say: “Member States shall ensure that the service providers referred to in paragraph 1 put in place complaints and redress mechanisms that are available to users in case of disputes over the application of the measures referred to in paragraph 1.” Basically say that you can immediately make a complain if the automatic system block you from post something. PERSONAL NOTE: Sometimes I make Jack and Mark edits, and a lot of times Instagram block me from post something, I made a complain and after a few minutes my video was up. Once Instagram exange “True Colors” by “Cindy Lauper” with Mark’s overvoice for a German tv program… I was like “WTF?!?!” but with a complain after a minute everything was fine. WHY FOR YOU IS SUCH A BIG DEAL NOW???
6. I will not be able to post fanart: Fake, you are the owners of the copyright of your draws, so you still can post fanarts.
7. I will not be able to post links: FAKE(almost), the "link tax” is not a tax and will not grave on us. Basically is what Google/social media will have to pay JUST FOR INFORMATION SITES, for post the snippet (title and image preview). Because they get money from sharing but never pay back the owner of the articles. So, what does it mean? That this could penalize small information sites if for example Google makes a deal with big sites. But is not exactly censorship, is just unfair.
