  • The Right Opinion - What Is Article 13 And Why Are People Worried About It? | TRO
    Most of my videos I put out on my channel are topics that I think will have your interest, this is a general philosophy because I like to entertain people and try and find a balance between what I care about and what you care about, equally it’s a learning process, finding out this new information and sharing with you guys is a great experience for me.
    However, every now and then, I know I have to make a video that won’t be the most fun to make, and will require a lot of detail, and today is that day my friends. I held off this for a while but I knew that I wouldn’t forgive myself if I didn’t raise my voice.
    So let’s talk about the EU, because during my time in America, I’ve been surprised to find that many people actually do not have a clue how it operates. So consider the next five to ten minutes a little crash course. EU is an abbreviation for the European Union, an organisation of countries that forms its own absolute body, often cooperating and creating legislation to maintain a more cohesive relationship.
    It was initially borne out of the fact that politically, Europe has been a bit of a mess, and to provide almost a grounding, a central body would stabilise the lawmaking process, very modest intentions. Over the years, this has developed, with new institutions and initiatives being integrated and established, typically through treaties, which are essentially contracts between countries, that’s a very simplified definition but I just want you to have a general gist. The European Union that we know today was formed by a treaty in 1992 known as the Maastricht Treaty, which aided the transition of the European Union beyond just an economic community.
    I’m not going to go into too many more details because they’re not entirely relevant, and honestly it’s not the most fun things to hear, however, it is of importance to have some basic information so that we can then apply that and think critically about what’s going to be discussed today and its implications. Because the European Union has been expanding its control over many different disciplines over the last few decades, and the internet has been of their interest for a while.
    And there are many concerns over the ownership of intellectual property on the internet, given the new international realms it expands over. In the past everything that we watch on the TV has been run through a limited number of corporations who adhere to regulations that they can be reprimanded under if they don’t follow, the new domains granted by the internet has created a plethora of content that is exceptionally hard to regulate. However, over the last few years, we have become increasingly aware of this, with this awareness being raised, there have been filters instated to assure that people aren’t profiting off copyrighted content. For example, someone uploading a copyrighted song on CZcams, may have it removed or monetised by the original artist. The internet is a place of new opportunity, but it also is a state of great lawlessness, many of us will remember the ads that they’d put at the start of a film saying “You wouldn’t steal a film”, because online makes all these forms of media much more accessible.
    With this in mind, many sites like CZcams are overbearing in the imposition of copyright restrictions, with many people, myself included, that they give too much power to the actual claimant to be the arbiter of the content. I’ve had this experience myself with my content in the past, situations where I’ve been claimed, appealed, and the appeal goes straight to the owner, and they reject it because they like money more than fair use, the only way I resolved it that time was by threatening a lawsuit. I don’t fuck around.
    It’s pretty much understood at this point, that the internet isn’t going anywhere, however, this also means that other competitors, and governments will be under increasing pressure to respond to such freedoms, with new restrictions. Now, we’ve seen this in this in the US and the EU, this is not a new thing, we already have copyright directives for the internet to try and prevent illegal usage of content, although it is unavoidable to an extent.
    But the European Union really want to up the regulation, with their new copyright directive, that closes in on many of the issues that they feel they haven’t been stringent enough on in the past. The most notorious component of this little document is something known as Article 13, which has prompted backlash and outcry amongst many of us internet dwellers. This outrage has been amplified by a collective of media outlets that have been reporting on the content.

    EDITING CREDITS BELOW: This video is a tad late, had issues, but we're here. Ignore the vidcon comments, they're no longer accepting suggestions, I'll still be there though (I should have edited it out soon enough).
    Making good progress on Article 13 with negotiations facing strong challenges, we are definitely promoting the right sort of scrutiny, and you can continue that scrutiny below. The 21st of January is when the trilogue talks are supposed to have begun but have stuttered significantly so I am optimistic we're making the right sort of change.

      ISPs (Internet Service Providers) are not the same as Edge Providers; Google is an Edge Provider, whereas AT&T is an ISP. ISPs provide ACCESS to edge providers (they provide the means to communicate with Edge Providers and applications), whereas Edge Providers are simply a thing you are communicating with (and also provide a service, whatever service that may be).
      As for Net Neutrality, I must state that Net Neutrality is needed, as without it, ISPs will have the authority to decide whom I can and can NOT communicate with (they can decide what applications and Edge Providers I can and can NOT use). I have read the Order that concerns Net Neutrality, and it ultimately boils down to "The FCC does not want ISPs impeding communication, therefore we will impose a new set of restrictions to prevent such abuse of power by ISPs". The FCC board of 2005, 2010 and 2015 did NOT like what the ISPs were doing to their customers and the market in general, so they acted accordingly.
      TRO, if you want more details on Net Neutrality, please ask me or simply consult "The Hated One" and "PSA Sitch" as they have made videos that have made my point.

      I think people don't like that they weren't elected, at such a big position, by the people. We in america also have our own major positions that don't have us have a say. Like secretary of defense and the president's cabinet's. But these positions are tiny compared to a one system Congress and Senate elected by other officials.
      I think people are fully aware of the system and just don't like it. Just because someone doesn't agree doesn't mean they aren't knowledgeable.
      But that's just my two cents as an American looking inside to the EU.

      The European parliament affects the internet in huge ways. Like sites conforming to their laws.
      I'll give you an example.
      fsmrmetroid.blogspot.com
      While this site gives you notices about it conforming, bigger sites are put on blast much harder. Twitter will ban memes and most media because Europe is still part of the internet, and Europe doesn't want to see your weeb shit.

I understand a million more things about this article now, though (because I didn't even know about it until now, lol) and its implications are... vague, but worrying.
    I'm not politically driven in any way, so I have no desire to speak up about this. I literally have no negative experiences to ride off.

So I guess that gives us hope for our faves on here and elsewhere.

      Why did you write this comment, since your opinion is obviously based exclusively in your purposeful ignorance (by your own admission) and essentially is worth pretty much nothing since you don't care? Or is it that you do care, since you felt the need to say anything, but it still really doesn't matter because obviously you're so apathetic you couldn't be bothered to look into this yourself until someone did all of the intellectual heavy lifting for you?
      You know how people compare normies to NPCs? That's you, and I would say I pity you, except you've done this to yourself and essentially that just makes you a useful idiot to people who actually are invested in how the world works.

By your logic, you shouldn't have the freedom to say anything at all, because you completely take advantage with no basis of reference, the founding principles that dictate your ability to even have such an uninformed, lack of an opinion. If it was the case, you wouldn't care right, because "it just is what it is"?

That you skip over how this will effect creator/artists outside the EU who won't have these courts but still be subject to them. Would the "Artist"/US Movie Studio be able to file in any EU country they operate in against someone outside the EU because it was viewed there? That the reason the entire Copyright bill is a mess it was both written favor of opposing interest to try to give both Disney (the worst thing that ever happened to Copyright Law) and Google want they want and the protection they needed from this respectively. That no automatic system can no or tell if you actually legally purchased licences for what copyrighted material your using and the losses of income that would bring. To act naive that the original vagueness wouldn't be implemented with business strategy in mind is sad.
    Example: Disney is starting their streaming service, they will ignore CZcams's it's copyright lapses. "They are trying the best they can". In return, Disney will get preferred ads, links and key words over other streaming services like Netflix and Hulu.

      The original goal of the European Union wasn't peace, it was complete and total rule with no regard to the individual, only the collective.
      If you vote, but your vote has no representation - do you live in a democracy? If you protest, but your words go unheard, is that freedom? If you have free reign of travel, but that privelege can be withdrawn at any time for any reason, is it really free travel?
