European copyright law: Pop Up's considerations after yesterday's approval As you all know by now, the new European Copyright Law was approved with 348 votes in favour, 276 against and 36 abstentions. The objective of the new legislation was to protect the contents produced on the web from use by giants, such as Google and Facebook , who encourage their diffusion without paying the creator of the same. But what happens now? In this post by Pop Up Magazine we will try to understand how this new law could affect the very functioning of the distribution and use of content on the web.
New copyright law: Google and social media in the dock This new European Find Your Phone Number copyright law has specifically affected, as already mentioned previously, companies that work on content produced online, distributing it and giving it visibility (without however paying the publishers and those who create it). There are two main articles: Article 11 (later Article 15), which establishes that anyone who reports a link or a snippet may find themselves in the position of having to request authorization from the publisher of the linked and/or cited content ( link tax ); Article 13 (subsequently becoming Article 17), which instead provides for useful controls in order to verify that the copyright of content present on the internet is not violated (and the failure to monetize it by its creator).
Responsibility in the event of uploading content protected by copyright will not be of the users but of the platforms that share them (such as YouTube, Facebook, and other social networks). To do this, the EU wants to introduce an automated control system, similar to a content ID. It seems that at the moment the platforms for the free dissemination of content are safe, such as Wikipedia, which yesterday gave rise to a rather lively protest, obscuring its contents. What happens now? What changes will come about following this decision? Will the great giants of the web really submit to the will of the European Parliament, or do we risk being isolated from the rest of the world? In fact, what stands out is the EU's stance towards the digital giants, which began a few years ago, and which is enriched by scandals, sanctions and legislative proposals.
