Re: Just in: Articles 11 and 13
While it wasn’t quite as quick as they initially promised (there was talk of having it ready last summer), France has now proposed to put Article 17 into law in that country and it’s just about as bad as you could possibly imagine. Indeed, the law appears to simply ignore wholesale the already weak requirements that were put into Article 17, promising that the laws would protect user rights. That’s not what France was pushing for it. Instead, it was all in on the copyright maximalism, so user rights — the rights of the public — can apparently be ignored. – France, As Promised, Is First Out Of The Gate With Its Awful Copyright Directive Law: Ignores Requirements For User Protections
