Back in September last year, Rick Falkvinge wrote about the launch of an important revision<\/a> of the European Union\u2019s main copyright law, which will have a massive impact on Internet users in the region and beyond. Although the stated aim of the update is to make \u201cmodern copyright rules fit for the digital age<\/a>\u201c, several proposals in the EU copyright directive are direct attacks on key elements of the Internet. Rick wrote about one of them, the so-called \u201cGoogle tax\u201d, or snippet tax, which would require search engines and possibly others to pay for using short extracts to link to articles on other sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s Article 11 of the proposed directive, but there\u2019s another section \u2013 Article 13 \u2013 which would harm the Internet just as much. Here\u2019s the original text<\/a>, as proposed by the European Commission:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cInformation society service providers that store and provide to the public access to large amounts of works or other subject-matter uploaded by their users shall, in cooperation with rightholders, take measures to ensure the functioning of agreements concluded with rightholders for the use of their works or other subject-matter or to prevent the availability on their services of works or other subject-matter identified by rightholders through the cooperation with the service providers.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Article 13 seeks to impose an obligation on all larger Internet sites that allow users to upload files \u2013 such as YouTube \u2013 to filter everything for possible copyright infringements before making them available. This is a terrible idea for several reasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It forces online services and sites to act as copyright police for the music, film and publishing industries, which are the sole arbiters of what should be blocked. There is no legal process involved \u2013 this all happens behind closed doors, on very unequal terms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Article 13 effectively makes online services responsible for what users post to them, imposing a new intermediary liability on Internet companies. That\u2019s not just bad news, it contradicts an earlier EU directive on e-commerce, passed in 2000, which laid down that companies acting as a \u201cmere conduit\u201d \u2013 that is, simply providing a platform \u2013 should not be held responsible for material posted to their sites. The new copyright directive would overturn nearly two decades of law and practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The measures proposed in Article 13 are also incompatible with a key ruling<\/a> by the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU), the highest court in the region, made in 2011, which stated:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEU law precludes an injunction made against an internet service provider requiring it to install a system for filtering all electronic communications passing via its services which applies indiscriminately to all its customers, as a preventive measure, exclusively at its expense, and for an unlimited period.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The next year, the same court went on to rule that filtering systems are illegal for another reason \u2013 because they harm users too<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cthe filtering system may also infringe the fundamental rights of its service users \u2013 namely their right to protection of their personal data and their freedom to receive or impart information \u2013 which are rights safeguarded by the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The CJEU judgment pointed out a further serious problem with filtering: that the system would be unable to distinguish properly between legal and illegal content, leading to the blocking of lawful material. Filtering systems tend to overblock, just to be on the safe side, which means that things like remixes and parodies are likely to be rejected, even though perfectly legal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The good news is that the \u201crapporteur\u201d \u2013 the Member of the European Parliament (MEP) who is tasked with shepherding the copyright directive through the legislative process \u2013 Therese Comodini Cachia, recognizes the problems with Article 13, and has offered her own amendments that largely address them<\/a>. The bad news is that another MEP, Pascal Arimont, has presented what he calls \u201calternative compromise amendments<\/a>\u201d that take the European Commission\u2019s original proposals and make them significantly worse<\/i>. Here\u2019s a summary of his \u201ccompromise amendments\u201d for Article 13 from the Pirate Party MEP Julia Reda<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c[Pascal Arimont] wants to double down on the obligation for content filtering, which he doesn\u2019t want to just apply to services hosting \u201clarge amounts\u201d of copyrighted content, as proposed by the Commission, but to any service facilitating the availability of such content, even if the service is not actually hosting anything at all. This could require content filters even for services that are linking to content on other websites, because hyperlinks, according to the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU), can be considered a copyright infringement under certain circumstances.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

As Reda explains, Arimont also wants to make Article 11 \u2013 the \u201cGoogle tax\u201d \u2013 even worse by extending the extra copyright monopoly for news publishers from 20 years to 50 years, for both online and offline uses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To get these harmful \u201ccompromise amendments\u201d thrown out, Reda urges EU citizens to contact the MEPs from their country<\/a> who are sitting on the Internal Market and Consumer Protection (IMCO) Committee that will vote on Arimont\u2019s proposals this Thursday. A short email is all that is required: as a guide, here\u2019s what I\u2019ve sent<\/a> to the British MEPs on IMCO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
