The European parliament just voted to pass article 13. But the version that passed is
actually a lot different than the version that caused all the uproar on social media.
Article 13 has gone through several revisions to get to this point. That being said, it
still could change the way we use the internet forever. So what does the passing of article
13 mean for memes and the internet in general. find out right now on IO
Welcome back to Inform overload, we do the news and make it entertaining. Im charlotte
dobre, im a sick potato today so bare with me, if you're new here, i dont normally sound
like this. So hit that subscribe and notification bell so you never miss one of our videos,
and follow the Io team on instagram. Article 13 is a copyright directive thats
intended to help protect artists and creators in general, and its supposed to give them
more control over how their content is used and shared online. But article 13 has been
heavily criticised by both youtube itself and youtube creators because it could have
effectively run the platform into the ground. A huge portion of content thats uploaded to
youtube includes copyrighted material. Parodies, reaction videos, news, commentary. Creators
who specialize in these types of videos need copyrighted material in order to make their
content. Article 11 and Article 13 was passed in the
european parliament on March 26th, 348 votes in favor, 274 votes against.
Article 11 is going to affect news publishers the most. Its nicknamed the link tax by critics
because it creates a wall between the free flow of news and information. rather than
a website like msn being able to publish a news article that they've taken from another
news outlet, they have to post their own published work.
And article 13 is the law that directly affects online creators and youtubers. Article 13
holds youtube directly responsibe when someone violates copyright on the platform. It makes
it so that any copyright violation that is committed by users is now youtube's fault.
For this reason, youtube is going to have to implement a really aggressive filter to
make sure copyrighted material isnt included in your videos. if it is, creators wont get
ad revenue for that video, or they could get a copyright striek. So all you people who
complain and write in the comments, reeee why dont you share the video. This is why.
Because we would rather direct you to the appropriate creator than share a copyrighted
image or video than risk our channel being frozen for an entire week and thousands of
dollars lost. Yes IO makes thousands of dollars a week, are you really that surprised.
The good news is, article 13 is not going to effectively ban memes. Memes are actually
specifically excluded. FEWF thank god. Specific tweaks to the law that were made during revisions
dubbed meme{s safe for quote, purposes of quotation, criticism, review, caricature,
parody or pastiche. Sharing memes and gifs will still be allowed. But, if the meme includes
an image from a tv show or music video, aka copyrighted material, you wont be able to
share it on twitter. It will be taken down instantly.
This change isn't going to happen right away. Members states of the european parliament
have to approve the decision for their own state, so aggressiveness of these laws being
implemented is going to vary from country to country. Once the copyright directive is
published, the states have 2 years to implement it.
How do you feel about article 13 being passed, let me know down there in the comments, but
for now i'm going to wrap up this video with some comment features.
