The EGDF's Jari-Pekka Kaleva anticipates a major legal hurdle

As absurd as the situation is, we should probably be even more troubled that we still need to fight to #savethelink. Politicians, the institutions, and , in the end, the law has trouble catching on to the second-to-last technological innovation, how could they anticipate things that are just around the corner. More interestingly, I think this also shows that we still need to have deeper discussions about our values when it comes to copyright (esp. if we want a European copyright law). It is not as easy to answer these questions, as it is to form an opinion in these absurd cases.

"Artists and creators are our crown jewels. The creation of content is not a hobby, it is a profession.
