Julia Reda sounds the alarm<\/a> that the European Parliament will vote on mandatory upload filtering in two weeks, with nowhere near enough attention to this issue from the public at large. Once this vote has taken place, it will be very hard to make additional changes to the bill as it proceeds through the lawmaking machinery.<\/p>\n

Julia Reda, the Pirate Party representative<\/a> in the European Parliament (and therefore often the only Internet generation representative against the old copyright industry), sounds the alarm<\/a> for a European copyright \u201crevision\u201d which is underway, and which is, as they tend to be, absolutely nightmarish and nothing like a small revision at all.<\/p>\n

When all the spotlights were on the European GPDR, where the politicians actually went against the big corporations for the interest of the common citizen, this was moving on silently in the background, and is coming to its most important vote on June 20\/21 \u2014 in just two weeks.<\/p>\n

There are two major problems with this copyright \u201crevision\u201d. The first is a roundabout \u2014 and therefore non-obvious \u2014 introduction of governmental censorship, by forcing any and all electronic platforms to be liable for copyright infringements of user-uploaded content, if they have not taken \u201cappropriate and reasonable measures\u201d from preventing such uploads.<\/p>\n

The European government is literally preparing a requirement to pre-screen all publications.<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are some exceptions, like for nonprofit foundations, but this should not be seen as a concession \u2014 pretty much all freemium open-source corporations would be affected, for instance. (GitHub has been the prime example.)<\/p>\n

There\u2019s also the \u201coh no, this isn\u2019t censorship or pre-screening\u201d narrative, as that would be completely at odds with the European Charter of Human Rights and the EU Constitution, it is just the end result anyway<\/em> by forcing electronic platforms to be liable to multimillion lawsuits if they don\u2019t<\/em> use automatic censorship machines. While this might eventually be struck down in the European Court of Human Rights, experience from the Data Retention Directive tells us that\u2019s a process that takes in excess of ten years \u2014 and the outcome of which is uncertain, even after a possible decade of bad law if this passes.<\/p>\n

Worse still, there\u2019s already \u2014 already!<\/em> \u2014 steps taken<\/a> to expand this machine censorship (let\u2019s call a spade a spade, here) to also include unwanted political opinions<\/em>, under the label of \u201cterrorist propaganda\u201d \u2014 which has become so diluted today that it basically means \u201canything the government doesn\u2019t particularly like\u201d.<\/p>\n

The EU lawmaking machine is a little complicated in this matter. It is, to put it in very<\/em> favorable terms, a separation of power between executive governments, government representatives, and the European Parliament. Except this \u201cseparation of power\u201d actually refers to lawmaking alone.<\/p>\n

Governments and their representatives have already had their say. They\u2019re basically pushing for everything and the kitchen sink. Germany in particular has been afflicted by the lobbyists of the Axel-Springer-Verlag<\/em> to also push for a mandatory linking fee (!!) which is the other horrible thing about this \u201csmall revision\u201d. Yes, this is the \u201cGoogle Tax\u201d that was tried with disastrous results in Spain.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s therefore up to the people who have been elected directly by the people, the European Parliament, to stop this atrocity to our common culture and knowledge.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, the upcoming vote in the European Parliament is in the \u201cresponsible committee\u201d for this atrocity, which happens to be the Legal Affairs Committee, JURI. It\u2019s basically packed full of copyright monopoly maximalists, making it very hard to get the right kind of changes in.<\/p>\n

That doesn\u2019t mean we shouldn\u2019t try. Article 13 (censorship machines) and Article 11 (mandatory linking fees) need to GTFO from this bill.<\/p>\n

Once the bill has passed JURI, it goes to a full vote for the floor of the European Parliament some time next spring. At that point, it can basically only be rejected or approved as a whole. While it happens<\/em> that really bad things are rejected on the floor as a result of massive campaigning \u2014 like happened with ACTA on July 4, 2012 \u2014 it\u2019s a rare thing, and it should not be expected to happen by itself.<\/p>\n
