With #Article11 and #Article13 passing, I'm starting to get the feeling that I can't cheer the copyright industry into their graves fast enough. Sink, all ye ships of publishing houses! Sink, ye newspapers, TV makers and whatever you call yourselves! I'm hoping your industry goes down, your money well dry up, your wealth is squandered at court, your patience tried, your reputation ruined, may your intellectual property turn to dust into your hands and may you choke on it.

@kensanata It. Hasn't. Passed. Yet. It only passed through a small commission and made it to the next stage, where all MEPs will vote, or sth...
@Wolf480pl I'm not super confident in the European parliament. It's true, it's no longer simply a "consultative assembly [...] having no legislative powers." But really, its powers still fail to impress me. Perhaps in this case, as we only need to reject a bill, those tiny powers it has will be enough. We'll see. I think I still want Axel-Springer's media empire to turn to dust.
