Wasn't that the thing where they would get fined for every IP address they didn't investigate? People thought France would go dark because of it.

Honestly I have troubles remembering everything they tried to shove with that garbage but they use a company to grab all the IP addresses they can on p2p networks. You are supposed to secure your Wifi network because if someone grabs an access and downloads with it, yeah, you are the one getting the infamous letters. The way it operates is more or less the same as they originally wanted but things got discarded or exist but are ignored by the administration because it's so dumb, so I don't know everything.

They have been pleading for getting more tools lately because they are useless as people adapt.

Is 31st October final day of Brexit? Because I'm confused People from England voted to leave Brexit and re-join to European Union initially Donald Tusk suggested prime minister Theresa May to expand Brexit to 2020 and formerly she wanted to keep this decision to June this year. Brexit petition is also confusing it's something like delaying Brexit or staying in Brexit.

[Gez]

There are no final day of Brexit, the UK will remain forever in the EU.

 

Here's how it works:

1. UK has X time to prepare for Brexit.
2. UK does not prepare for Brexit at all.
3. X time passes.
4. UK demands an extension because it is unprepared.
5. The extension is accepted, and UK is given X time to prepare for Brexit.
6. Goto 1.

I found a new article within link https://niezalezna.pl/267224-polska-sprzeciwila-sie-otwarcie-acta-2

Poland opposed the opening of ACTA 2.
At a meeting of EU ambassadors today in Brussels, Poland expressed opposition to the proposal to adopt a directive on copyright - the Polish Press Agency learned from diplomatic sources.
- Poland expressed opposition and upheld its negative attitude towards the Copyright Directive. She indicated that she could not support her admission

- said the EU diplomat. According to unofficial information, Poland's position was then supported by the Netherlands, Finland, Italy and Luxembourg.

Poland emphasized - as reported by the EU diplomat - that although the purpose of the new regulations was to strengthen the functioning of the common market, stimulate innovation, creativity, investment and creating new content in the digital environment, the directive in its adopted form will not achieve this goal properly.

The representative of Polish diplomacy also pointed to the meeting - as the source said - that the directive in the adopted form does not ensure a proper balance between the owners of copyright and the interests of EU citizens and companies.

According to the information of the Polish Press Agency, the head of the Permanent Representation of Poland to the EU Andrzej Sadoś took the floor during this meeting.

In February in Brussels, representatives of EU countries agreed on the controversial regulations on copyright. Eight countries, including Poland and Italy, have opposed proposals for controversial legislation. However, this was not enough to block the entry into force of the new law.

A few days later, in February, representatives of EU countries, the European Parliament and the European Commission concluded a compromise on the final shape of new regulations. This compromise in March supported the European Parliament at the plenary session. The opposition of Poland, the Netherlands, Finland, Italy and Luxembourg is not enough, however, to block regulations. I translated this text for you guys.

That's interesting, thanks for sharing. My news feeds are *crickets* about this, as always. Might be about time to find more sources.

ACTA 2 voted. EU countries have adopted a controversial directive.
The controversial EU copyright law - colloquially referred to as ACTA 2 - was adopted by the countries of the European Union. In the final vote, most of the Member States supported the project. Poland and five other countries were against.

Articles 11 and 13 are the most controversial in the Directive. Article 13 introduces the obligation to filter content from the point of view of copyright, while Article 11 deals with the so-called related rights for press publishers.

The first one is most often referred to in the context of threats to freedom of expression on the Internet. Pursuant to the provisions of art. 13 will not be covered: online encyclopaedias, eg Wikipedia, educational and scientific archives and passive platforms (so-called cloud services for individual users like Dropbox), open access platforms, sales platforms like Ebay or Amazon and all platforms, whose main the purpose is not to access or store copyrighted content (e.g., dating portals).

Platforms covered by art. 13, should sign licenses with the owners of rights on content protected by copyright. If the platform does not receive such a license, it will have to delete the content indicated by the rights owner. If the platform does not fulfill its obligations, it will be responsible for illegal content entered by users. Regulations, however, are not intended to cover the work of Internet users such as memes, gifs, etc.

Art. 11., referred to by opponents as a tax on links, refers to what elements of a journalistic article may be published by aggregators of content without the need to pay license fees. Regulations require that platforms, such as Facebook, pay copyright holders for content published by users or delete such materials. Press publishers will be able to negotiate licenses with platforms and aggregators of content.

The new law does not apply to the private and non-commercial use of press texts by individual users, nor does it apply to hyperlinks, and with them a short excerpt from the article. By virtue of the regulations, publishers are obliged to share the proceeds from the new law with the authors of a given publication.

Last week, on Thursday at a meeting of EU ambassadors in Brussels, Poland expressed opposition to the proposal to adopt a directive on copyright. According to unofficial information, Poland's position was then supported by the Netherlands, Finland, Italy and Luxembourg.

Poland emphasized - as reported by the EU diplomat - that although the purpose of the new regulations was to strengthen the functioning of the common market, stimulate innovation, creativity, investment and creating new content in the digital environment, the directive in its adopted form will not achieve this goal properly.

The EU Council approved a new copyright law together with Article 13 (17).
The Council of the European Union adopted a new directive on copyright, colloquially referred to as ACTA 2.0, together with the controversial Article 17 (earlier 13) and Article 15 (earlier 11). The Directive was supported by the majority of voters. Poland voted against.
There is no doubt that a change of copyright in the EU is needed. The current regulations are not ready for digital distribution, the internet, the ability to independently publish a huge number of their works and ubiquitous linking of digital materials. Work on the new directive has been ongoing since 2016 and initially did not arouse much interest. However, recent months have been marked by lobbying for changes and protests against two controversial provisions - a tax on linking and filtering platforms.

On March 26, the European Parliament rejected the changes in the controversial record (317 to 312 votes) by a small majority. The directive was adopted by a majority of 348 votes with 274 votes against. The last stage was the vote of the European Council, which took place on the morning of 15 April 2019.
For the directive to be adopted, a majority representing 65% was required. population of member countries. The result of the vote was 71.26%. Undoubtedly, the representatives of the majority of EU residents are in favor of the new copyright in the current form, i.e. with the controversial articles 15 and 17.
Poland voted against the directive, as well as Finland, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Sweden and Italy. Belgium, Estonia and Slovenia abstained from voting. Germany and the United Kingdom turned out to be the greatest supporters of changing the copyright law.

If what the article says about the EU-Canada CETA deal is true, then it could nullify Article 13.

[luke11685]

Even article 11?

[The Ultimate DooMer]

That would be ironic as hell if the deal originally thought to be ACTA 2 ended up killing the deal that actually did end up becoming ACTA 2...
