Negotiations about the EU copyright reform lawhave resumed: After missing the original Christmas deadline, negotiators for the European Parliament and Council are now aiming to finalise the text on January 21, 2019.
The negotiators have reached agreement on the core of Article 13, which will change the internet as we know it: They want to make internet platforms directly liable for any copyright infringements their users commit.
What remains to be decided: Exactly what lengths will platforms need to go to to avoid or limit their liability? Just how much they will need to restrict our ability to post and share our creations online?
Let that stew for a min, think, what does it take to enforce that? Also, who rules what is a copyright violation? What other bits and pieces were added, burried, that we do not know.
Bad Yu-Yu I see ahead
