Everyone should read this and be aware of the future of the creation on the World Wide Web in EU
[EN]
In September, MEPs voted in favor of the new copyright law adapted to the internet. While the proposal was rejected, the second vote secretly decided otherwise. Overall, this new directive aims to find a balance between rights holders (record companies for example) and platforms such as YouTube or Google. Two articles are very controversial, especially article 13, which has led the world's most popular video platform to organize resistance.
YouTube forced to block videos in Europe?
Article 13 requires content creators on the web to negotiate agreements with rights holders, which means that they will, among other things, have to ** verify that a video does not share any copyrighted material * *. These platforms will have to invent an automated filtering system that will block the upload and playback of this kind of videos if it does not respect the copyright law. Some time ago, some associations had opposed this law, considering that Article 13 would lead to a kind of censorship or limitation of content available on the web, this being completely the opposite of the Internet spirit .
Be that as it may, YouTube has signed agreements with many large rights holders for the remuneration of certain videos, the identity of the holders of certain rights remains unknown. This could force YouTube to block these videos in order to avoid any non-compliance under Article 13. On YouTube, about 400 hours of videos are posted every minute, the risks of non-compliance with Article 13 are so huge financially that no company would be able to support them.
For Youtube but ultimately for all the internet in general, the problem lies in the fact that it will be forced to delete a lot of content if it wants to stick to this new European directive. It is obvious that this means that a large number of online videos around the world may no longer be watchable in Europe.
Do not hesitate to tell me what you think in comment, but for my part this article announces, in any case for the EU, the death of the freedom of creation, the suppression of a huge amount of videos already online and a huge shortfall for content creators residing in the United States also because their videos can not be viewed from Europe ...
A petition has been put in place to thwart this project, do not hesitate to sign it: https://www.change.org/p/parlement-europ%C3%A9en-arr%C3%AAtez-la-machine-de-censure-sauvez-l-internet

En septembre, les députés européens ont voté en faveur de la nouvelle loi sur les droits d’auteur adaptée à l'internet. Alors que la proposition avait été rejetée, le deuxième vote fais secrètement en a décidé autrement. Globalement, cette nouvelle directive vise à trouve un équilibre entre les ayants droit (les maisons de disque par exemple) et les plateformes comme que YouTube ou Google. Deux articles sont très controversés, surtout l’article 13, ce qui a conduit la plateforme de vidéo la plus populaire au monde à organiser la résistance.
YouTube obligé de bloquer des vidéos en Europe ?
L’article 13 oblige les créateurs de contenu du web à négocier des accords avec les ayant droits, ce qui veut dire qu’ils devront, entre autre, vérifier qu’une vidéo ne partage AUCUN contenu soumis aux droits d’auteur. Ces plateformes devront ainsi inventer un système de filtrage automatisé qui bloquera l'upload et la lecture de ce genre de vidéos s’il ne respecte pas la loi sur les droits d'auteur. Il y a quelques temps, certaines associations s’étaient opposées à cette loi, estimant que l’article 13 allait entraîner un espèce de censure ou une limitation des contenus accessibles sur le web, ceci étant complètement à l'opposé de l'esprit Internet.
Quoiqu'il en soit, YouTube a conclu des accords avec de nombreux ayant droits de grandes tailles pour la rémunération de certaines vidéos, l’identité des détenteurs de certains droits reste inconnue. Ceci pourrait obliger Youtube à bloquer ces vidéos afin d’éviter tout non-respect au titre de l’article 13. Sur YouTube, environ 400 heures de vidéos sont mises en ligne chaque minute, les risques encourus pour non respect de l'article 13 sont si énormes financièrement qu'aucune entreprise ne serait capable de les supporter.
Pour Youtube mais finalement pour tout l'internet en général, le problème réside dans le fait qu’elle va être obligée de supprimer beaucoup de contenus si elle veut s'en tenir à cette nouvelle directive européenne. Il est donc évident, que cela veut dire qu’un grand nombre de vidéos en ligne dans le monde pourrait ne plus être regardable en Europe.
N’hésitez pas à me dire ce que vous en pensez en commentaire, mais pour ma part cet article annonce, en tous cas pour l'UE, la mort de la liberté de création, la suppression d'un énorme montant de vidéos déjà en ligne et un énorme manque à gagner pour les créateurs de contenu résident aux états unis également car leur vidéos ne pourront pas être visionnées depuis l'Europe...
Une pétition à été mis en place afin de contrecarrer ce projet, n'hésitez pas à aller la signer : https://www.change.org/p/parlement-europ%C3%A9en-arr%C3%AAtez-la-machine-de-censure-sauvez-l-internet
This is so dumb, EU technocrats destroying creativity.
There's a huge difference between a content creator and someone who uploads someone else's creation. People can still freely create content, regardless of these restrictions. Nothing in copyright law says someone can't write their own song, play their own music, and share it online with the hopes of earning money for their work.
But it becomes tricky when you're making videos of a video game.
Who cares about YouTube? They already censor so each just because they disagree. Let the EU have the traditional centralized web. Newer tech is coming online to eclipse their control.

youtube will die out hopefully long live dtube
The problem with EU laws regarding copyright and privacy rights is that they empower the powerful over the powerless, big companies who can afford all the extra work and risks over small ones and startups, insider authors (published by commercial publishers) over indie self-publishers, and such. So, even if these laws may possibly be well intentioned (which I am not sure they are), the outcome reinforces inequality and the establishment.
On a slightly different note: What artists would really benefit from is a UBI (guaranteed Universal Basic Income, Citizen Dividend, Social Security for All, whatever you wish to call it), rather than stricter copyright protections. Copyright protections can really be put to use to ensure pay for one's work if one is well established and commercial publishers run the show. This pushes new kids on the block to the margins and keeps most indies in the margins. Real artists live for their art, not for money, but as long as sheer survival requires money, the current set-up holds them back. As another commenter indicated (if I understood it right), free sharing by others is promotional and can help indies get out of obscurity. While in obscurity, they are often working for free or mere tiny scraps anyway, so there are no sales profits for them to protect.
As far as I know, it's a little different:
The websites have to provide a form and have to filter the uploaded data by themselves with the help of a large database.
In the case of copyright infringements, the site operator can count on consequences.
Everyone deserves to get paid for what they create but people posting other folks content is a free and distributed manner is what has made many people rich. Free promotion is not to be sneezed at

BTW, I think the title should use "EU", not "UE".
Hi, I'm new to this from the internet. But I think that the responsibility of copyright should be the one who makes the video, not the one who publishes it.

Congratulations @otp-one!
Your post was mentioned in the Steemit Hit Parade in the following category:
Il faut défendre le copyright, mais je pense cette mesure exagérée et qu'une autre serait mieux
Sensorship is the great enemy of liberty. If utube an dother platforms becomes too hostile to free speech. It will be interesting to see what alternatives the market comes up with. In fact it’s already happening. Steemit for example obviously :)
Libertarians need a larger voice in government.
Government is the reason people have no voice. We need to make ourselves ungovernable, not clamber before a bunch of lunatics. No one who would use power for good will succeed. Ron Paul is a great example of this. The deep state will make sure they don't succeed.
