Article 13 Passed - AW CRAP WHAT DO???

AY

Okay so Article 13 passed anyway despite all odds and it's trash and shit and fuck god damn it why.

So, TTS and all other things on the internet ever are now under threat if they exist in a EU country, more or less.
Is there any hope for TTS?

YES.

I am very proud of my particular country because every single Swedish MEP voted AGAINST the article. As far as I've heard, the governments of each individual country will be the ones choosing whether or not to enforce the article. Since Sweden showed an extreme lack of interest, our government may just choose to pass on the law, which means I may not be  affected, which would be great.

If it is enforced anyway, there are always alternatives. VPNs, sending the projects to friends overseas for uploading, sending it to all of you through the god damn mail.

No matter what, I can probably find a way.

But, from now on, I am passively going to start preparing my super original intellectual property Battlemace 40,000,000 for launch in case all goes to shit. They can't do anything if it's my intellectual property, after all. Fucker bastards, take that.

If there are any more updates on this front, I'll make sure to tell you.

Have a good one.

Google should start buying up abandoned oil rigs and move its servers to international waters

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0SdDI1x0DGw" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0SdDI1x0DGw</a> you will want to check this out. Article 13 has NOT been approved yet. An amendment to the language of the proposed article has been approved. The vote on the article itself looks like January 2019.

My suggestion to move to the US is looking pretty good now. ;)

Zack Coggins

Well, at least you have options! And probably a lack of enforcement.

Trevor Bond

I know this is not related to Article 13, but can we get a soundboard of Tzeentch's weird and hilarious laughs? Please? Me wants plox.

Philip Kruse

I'll be damned, something good might actually come of brexit, if it means we don't have to follow this bullshit. Oh, who am I kidding, May et al will just pass a similar, even worse law, one that has no resemblance to article 13, the UK came up with it all by themselves, honest!

In the grim darkness of the 21 century... there are only hope in the Swedish goverment, Emperor save us.

Uh no. They aren't enforcing the law because they have better things to do. Enforcing that is like enforcing jaywalking laws.

Google got your back, the whole thing was a crap, not just article 13, it is google and hosting services taht felt targeted by article 13, taht launch the cmapaign aginst article 13, it is not like they care about you anus tho, if they did they would have opposed teh whomle thing not just article 13. But i think they won't really bother with article 13.

Incompetent &amp; corrupt policing =/= a lack of infrastructure. The scenario in your example should be that the cops can't be deployed because they don't have transport, force multiplication or even an internal hierarchy despite their nebulous authority to enforce the law, just like Europe and South America.

As Busa stated his own nations politicians all voted against it. So it could very well be that while it is a law Sweden will do fuck and all to enforce it. Much like marijuana laws in the United States, which you are supposed to have charges pressed against you by the state and a misdemeanor at the very least put on your criminal record. Meanwhile depending on the city the cop might turn off their body camera and ask for you to "pass it off on the left hand side", or pull the long gun from their PC and instruct you to lay prone very loudly and wait for another officer to show up as backup for a "drug bust". Hopefully Sweden shows it still has a pair and gives the finger to the EU on this stupid law.

Russia, he needs a Russian uploader. Uncle Ivan gives no fux about these bourgeoisie copyright laws.

They desire control and censorship, when most can’t even censor or control themselves. That is why these efforts to reign in art shall always fail.

Jack Ponder

have considered moving to a superior continent? like america! just ignore canada or mexico. there is only america in north america.

sam jones

There is still a long way to go here, they may not even be able to actually apply a filter at all so have no stress. But I guess its always good to be prepared.

Ogunst

Good luck, I hope it's not too big a hassle for you.

SickSean

Well this just means we need to help a Bruva out and help him buyout GW

TheKrak

The emperor protects bruva

The US has no high ground here with Pai abolishing net neutrality.

Metalking1417

Have you ever considered getting your butt State side?

Sean Geraghty

I'm not really all that worried.... the final vote ain't till January and, well, Britain will probably have left by then (sobs) so we won't be able vote for it again.... (we're very sorry for our MEP's, and MP's, and Piers Morgan)

Field Marshal Fry

Again, Alfa, please let us know if there's any logistical support / legwork we can do for you. You do have a small army of willing helpers, so make use of us.

Have a US guy who works as a proxy, uploading in the US.

fuck the eu man, we need to give Europe its freedom back!

MrCultist

Well damn, that's some unsavory news. Let's hope Sweden just avoids implementing it altogether, as you pointed out it seems they've had little interest in Article 13 since the beginning. Best of luck Alfa, here's hoping things work out.

Delta

If you ever need help with Battlemace, I would gladly assist in any capacity I could. :)

Life finds a way, so will TTS
