When you realize DanAndPhilGames could be shut down because of the upcoming European copyright laws

Oh shit

I feel like no one realises how bad this actually is. To make it clear for y'all if this law passes, it’s going to be 1000x worse than net neutrality. This is a literal internet censorship.

Want to post a cute fanart? BLOCKED. A fanfic? BLOCKED. Do you have a friend in europe and want to send them a meme? BLOCKED. Youtube let’s plays? BLOCKED Dan’s meme videos? BLOCKED.

Nearly not enough people are talking about this so please, even if you’re not european, help us and take part. We did the same when net neutrality was trying to ruin all of our lives. I’ll put some useful links below.

PETITION:

- !anyone can sign!

CALL/E-MAIL YOUR LOCAL MPs

x <- fixed link for call/email your local mps

- !you can only do this if you live in europe/uk!

EVEN MORE INFO

Take part, lads🌸✨

🇺🇸 Another addition for y'all americans: Just so you know there’s quite a big chance a certain cheeto could get inspired by the shit eu is going to pass rn and then we’re all screwed.

🇬🇧 UK lads: UK is going to be affected by this until the day they officially leave the EU and that is in 2021. Contact your local MPs link is above.

🇪🇺 europeans: Are basically all going to be fucked if we don’t do something! Contact your local MPs link is above.

🌏Rest of the world is hopefully sane but still…. please try to help even if this isn’t going to affect you directly.

Any help is appreciated but please try to spread the message as well as signing the petition. Thank u all

If you’re European, in a couple of weeks you will be denied any and all access to fandom contents on Tumblr and everywhere else on the internet. Here’s why.

On June, 20th the JURI of European Parliament approved of the articles 11 and 13 of the new Copyright Law. These articles are also known as the “Link Tax” and the “Censorship Machines” articles.

Articles 13 in particular forces every internet platform to filter all the contents we upload online, ending once and for all the fandom culture. Which means you won’t be able to upload any type of fandom works like fan arts, fan fictions, gif sets from your favourite films and series, edits, because it’s all copyrighted material. And you won’t also be able to share, enjoy or download other’s contents, because the use of links will be completely restricted.

But not everything’s lost yet. There’s another round of voting scheduled for the early days of July.

What you can do now to save our internet, is to share these informations with all of your family members and friends, and to ask to your MEP (the members of the European Parliament from your country) to vote NO at the next round, to vote against articles 11 and 13.

Here you can find more news and all the details to contact your MEP:

Also, sign and share this petition:

We have just a couple of weeks to stop this complete madness, don’t let them dictating the way we enjoy our internet.

#SaveYourInternet now!

And once you’ve done that:

Download EVERYTHING. Every piece of fanfiction you love, every piece of fanfiction you have on your “to read” list, every gifset, piece of artwork, whatever fannish online stuff you love—download it all.

Artist and authors—download your own works (you should keep copies of your stuff in offline storage anyway).

If enough of us get enough of what we love, If everyone gets everything they love (long shot, I know), we can circumvent the EU’s law by starting request mailing lists, or IRC rooms, or Slack channels, and directly email fan works to one another. We will become A Living Library, outfitted to outlast this ridiculous law.

European Parliament: Stop the censorship-machinery! Save the Internet!

Okay, everyone who lives in the EU, sit the fuck down and listen.

It’s happening, the parliament wants to start censoring us. Everything that COULD be POTENTIALLY copyrighted is in danger an could be prohibited from being uploaded. This includes: Youtubers who use pictures in their videos, people who make memes, young bloggers, literally every single one of us. The EU-Parliament is trying to push this through right now, because the football world cup is currently distracting the masses. But please, I beg you, take two minutes and sign the petition. It could save our internet how we know it.
