What's Article 12?

12 is an unlucky number in Germany, so it's customary to not have an Article 12 in EU legal documents.

what to stop companies from targeting each other by just spamming all kinds of copyrighted poo poo on each other's web pages?

what's to stop us from copyrighting small inane things with no public appeal that can duck the censors and then posting them on major company websites?

why is this a thing?

Because laws are written by giant corporations, that want a new weapon in their fight against the other giant corporations.

Hopefully Google will send a drone army to take care of Germany instead of shutting down youtube or something boring like that.

Sadly they'll probably get confused by the continental weather and attack Denmark instead, but well frankly it's about time someone did.

i find it weird that noone even tries to see things from the legislators perspective, like, at all here

why shouldn't youtube pay anything to the content creators other than a arbritrary small percentage of the ad revenue?

Are you saying web 2.0 was a scam all along??? :thunk:

Good. That movie wasn't even half as good as the hype would suggest and I'm glad the brits will be spared from the 15 sequels.
