Edit: This is now a MSPAINT MEMES THREAD! Draw memes that won't get Lowtax sued in Europe in MSPaint, go go go!Nurge posted:
================== Original OP: New European copyright law may prevent people from uploading images if the base image is copyrighted. There's a lot here to unpack, especially since this is far outside my experience of "FREE SPEECH ALL THE TIME NO MATTER WHAT (Nazis are OK too)" as an American. It seems like it goes a bit far to me what with the bit about not even being able to photocopy memes. But really...would quote:A new copyright law from the European Union would lead to the banning of memes on the internet, campaigners are warning. https://news.sky.com/story/memes-will-be-banned-under-new-eu-copyright-law-warn-campaigners-11398577 Somebody fucked around with this message at 17:11 on Jun 9, 2018 |

Don't post memes and you'll live -- at least a while. And posting in your beds many years from now, would you be willing to trade all the days from this day to that for one chance, just one chance to come back here and tell the EU that they may take our lives, but they'll never take our memes

In practice this is almost certainly going to be completely toothless like how personal VCRs were illegal in Australia until they were basically obsolete

Memes using copyrighted material are technically speaking already infringements. Infinitely nothing will change. Like the EU isn't even banning memes as a thing, people are just scaremongering that new copyright legislation might inadvertently hit memes. It won't lmao. Just like how I could go on youtube and download a 90 minute music album for free if I wanted to, even though that's illegal right now.

lol. I hope this passes and they are forced to nationalize the entirety of the EU Internet so it can be very heavily policed for content.
