EU Copyright Bill, Article 13 Meme Clause, Paul McCartney
The European Parliament voted on a controversial copyright bill featuring Article 13 (the "meme clause") and Article 11 (the "link tax"). While the bill faced a temporary setback, critics argue it will eventually pass and stifle user-generated content. Paul McCartney's support for the bill is criticized as being based on an antiquated music industry model.
EU Copyright Bill and the Hillary Assassination Group
The European Parliament has moved forward with a controversial copyright bill that includes a "link tax" and mandatory content filtering. In domestic news, the death of FBI agent David Rayner in a murder-suicide is linked by conspiracy theorists to his expected testimony regarding the "Fast and Furious" scandal. Additionally, a water main burst at the Mandalay Bay hotel is viewed with suspicion regarding the preservation of evidence from the Las Vegas shooting.
The European Parliament is considering a copyright directive that would require search engines to pay publishers for displaying snippets of news articles. This "link tax" is intended to support the European press but could lead to search engines removing news links entirely. The discussion compares this to the historical "switchback" of cable networks moving from paying for content to being paid to carry it.
