Copyright Directive Panic

[MyNameIsTerry]

Hmm,

a) maybe not as there will be a short term hit but I guess it means the industry changes how it operates so it recovers?

b) who knows, the EU could turn into anything as it marches more towards federalisation. But VPN's are used heavily by business so they would have a major input...not considering the EU giving them special dispensations as they have done for the media outlets in this current legislation.

I will have a detailed read of this later.

[FrankT]

Take your time, it's much too late anyway.

[KK77]

I don't agree. Words in a document is one thing, enforcing it in practice another

[FrankT]

They'll do it, you know. Upload filters, everything. It's over.

[FrankT]

Well, isn't anyone going to say anything?

[FrankT]

Is there anyone on this stupid island that will listen to what I'm saying!?

[BlueIris]

Frank, what do you want people to say?

I hate the state of the world right now, I'm worried, but I'd also rather not live my life in a state of existential dread. As such, I try to assume the worst won't happen and that I'll cope when it does.

I don't think getting hostile with a bunch of internet strangers is going to help you any, though.

You know what hurts most? This is what's going to get UKIP, the BNP, and the fascist vote into the European Parliament this May!
