Ah yes, my favorite doors.
Article 13 is NOT a law!!
It absolutely sucks that it’s passed, I get it but please, please don’t think this is the end of YouTube in Europe because it’s not.
The important thing to remember that this is a DIRECTIVE, NOT AN INSTRUCTION.
A directive is the EU’s way of saying that member countries have two years to get their laws up to a minimum standard. A country may not even take the whole directive and take certain points where there is a shortfall in the relevant laws they have in place. A country can STILL reject the directive after two years of their own constitutions overrule a directive. The UK for example has parliamentary rule which can disregard directives in their entirety.
It would be a whole lot worse if it was an instruction which would have meant it would HAVE to pass as law.
The automatic filters will not be a thing. It had been indicated that it will impossible to implement and it has been noted using an algorithm will be seen as hugely unfair. It has been noted to be disproportionate in the long run and has been dropped from the proposal. It has been stated that both right holders AND the platform that has the supposed infringement on it must use human beings to lay claim to any copyright and it MUST be proportionate in terms of any resolutions made
As for let’s players:
They are protected as copyright laws state that material can be used if for parody, critique or review. Let’s players use the last two in every game they play.
Microsoft, PlayStation, and even more recently, Nintendo all know the benefits of letting gamers play the games on their platforms. Some developers rely on the free content which showcases their games. It would be foolish for anyone in this industry to go for the gamers on YouTube or Twitch using this article.
What you need to do now:
Petition your MPs and make them aware of the implications of holding any of points made in article 13 in laws
Keep article 13 at the forefront for the next two years, do not let it fade from the public’s consciousness.
Keep your arguments about why article 13 is a bad idea relevant to the person you’re talking to. Talking about let’s players to a person who couldn’t give a hoot about them isn’t gonna cut it. Find a different angle and make it important to them.
Support developers who openly allow gamers to broadcast their games.
It’s not over!
Oh my fucking god god god god god i just found the funniest picture while deep into google images

Oh dear me
What is a legacy?
cont: she said that the guy turns out to be someone the drunk girl just met that night
my friends: haha hey whats up we havent talked in a while
me:
The second girl at least read the book to confirm that it was shit, she even had Capote on deck as backup. Chick 1 is just lazy
Nope. Girl 2 saw that Girl 1′s absolutely accurate analysis was being shut down just because it wasn’t stated in an intellectual way (in spite of its validity). So Girl 2 reinforced Girl 1′s opinions in solidarity and made sure that it was absolutely clear that Girl 1 was factually correct. WITHOUT taking credit for her observations (”kim is right” instead of “Actually, kim”)
Girls supporting Girls.
Girls not letting other girls be treated poorly.

#[40S COMMERCIAL ANNOUNCER VOICE] WHAT’S BETTER THAN THIS? GALS BEING PALS
Fun fact: Though being gay in the 40s sucked, being gay in the military was easier, and pretty common. There were apparently, at one point in time time so many lesbians in the military that when they tried to crack down on it, the girls wrote back and said “Look I can give you the names, but you’ll lose some of your best officers, and half your nurses and secretaries.” And they pretty much shut up about it unless you were especially bad at subtlety. (Source: Odd Girls and Twilight Lovers. A good source for gay history from 1900s onwards.)
Sergeant Phelps worked for General Eisenhower. Four decades after Eisenhower had defeated the Axis powers, Phelps recalled an extraordinary event. One day the general told her, “I’m giving you an order to ferret those lesbians out.’ We’re going to get rid of them.”
“I looked at him and then I looked at his secretary. who was standing next to me, and I said, ‘Well, sir, if the general pleases, sir, I’ll be happy to do this investigation for you. But you have to know that the first name on the list will be mine.’
“And he kind of was taken aback a bit. And then this woman standing next to me said, ‘Sir, if the general pleases, you must be aware that Sergeant Phelps’s name may be second, but mine will be first.’
“Then I looked at him, and I said, ‘Sir, you’re right. They’re lesbians in the WAC battalion. And if the general is prepared to replace all the file clerks, all the section commanders, all of the drivers—every woman in the WAC detachment—and there were about nine hundred and eighty something of us—then I’ll be happy to make the list. But I think the general should be aware that among those women are the most highly decorated women in the war. There have been no cases of illegal pregnancies. There have been no cases of AWOL. There have been no cases of misconduct. And as a matter of fact, every six months since we’ve been here, sir, the general has awarded us a commendation for meritorious service.’
“And he said, ‘Forget the order.’

I’ve reblogged this before but it didn’t have these comments and HOLY HOT DAMN DID IT NEED THEM.
So, when someone sits down to write a fiction about Women commandos, and a Dudebro steps in to say “Huh, that is so unrealistic huh.”
Harold… oh, Harold…sit down, shut up, and stay out of our way.
History is infinitely gayer than a lot of people want to admit <3
