[Politics] Article 13...impact on NSC?

[beorhthelm]

I’m in two minds about this law. One thing it does do is provide greater protection for artists and their work. This gets lost in the argument. If I create something, and copyright right it, then I’d be wanting platforms like YouTube and NSC to respect the copyright if they let people to post it on their site.

agree, though current protection already in place is probably sufficient. the problem is one of enforcement and who is liable. will this legislation be a big crude stick that causes platform owners to restrict content to avoid possible infringement, rather than the current light handed approach.

Our government is a massive supporter of this (surprised?), so we'll doubtlessly end up with something similar. After Brexit it'll probably be brought in under the pretence of 'mirroring EU law', but the Tories love it because it helps big businesses.

Sadly I think you're probably right.
