@therealjacksepticeye @markiplier @dantdmofficial @spunketpunk @spicydanhowell @fear-is-nameless Hello guys I want to tell you that on the 23rd of March 2019 everywhere in the Europe people will go on the streets and protest against articles 11 and 13 of Copyright reform. So I beg you if you have time and are for the free internet try to go to protest to save your internet. All details about protests you can find on
I've never thought I could be interested in politics, but everything is changing with articles 13 and 11 of the copyright reform. I want to thank to Mrs. Julia Reda and all the Piratepartei for the fight for freedom of expression and free flow of informations in the digital world. We need more peple like her in EU parliament. Freedom is the most important thing that we can have, and therefore we should appreciate it and go to the EU elections and vote for people, who can really help us.
Dear internet friends another vote about Article 13 will take place at the beggining of the January 2019. So everybody please talk to your local MEPs and try to convince them to vote against this mess . Because if it pass again then we will lose our beloved youtube friends and our freedom. Also in spring 2019 there will be elections of parliamentarians so when you will talk to your MEP's you can tell them that you will not vote for them if they want to destroy the career of 3.5 million youtube channels. That all what I can say right now. So try your best and #Saveyourinternet
LISTEN UP
I’m American. I live right in the southwest and let me tell you, it’s hell over here right now, but it will become a lot worse if Article 13 is passed.
You’ve probably heard about Article 13, and if you haven’t, go watch this video right now. Whatever you’re doing can wait for sixteen minutes and two seconds, because a second-long vote could destroy everything online.
Whether you’re from Europe or not, this law could affect you, so you should care Article 13 because it is going to destroy the online lives that you have built. No more posting memes, no more remixes, and no more YouTubers from anywhere.

How to Basic.
All of your favorite content creators are at risk of losing their jobs because people want stricter laws on copyright, which will support the larger media companies but kill smaller creators. And because of this, we may lose everything online.
So spread the word! Reblog this, reblog other people’s posts, find petitions, write your own posts! If you’re in Europe, contact your MEP’s and get them to understand how it will affect the people who use the internet.
Please.

The European Commission and the European Parliament really disappointed me and I'm sure that I'm not alone. Because they are saying that they are trying to protect smaller authors and creators in the Europe, but in fact their current version of the article 13 could destroy thousands of them. Yes, I know the article 13 should protect film studios, musicians, writers and others artists from the illegal distribution of their works. So for an example there shouldn't be web sides where is a possibility to download movies, songs, books or another artistic works for free, because that's illegal. There should be only web sides, which have a contract with the company or directly an artist who own mentioned product and I agree with this. But what about our youtubers a lot of them could be destroyed and why? Just because of the current version of the article 13 doesn't think about exceptions. Thousands of people across the Europe could lose their jobs, because of this. The article 13 says that people can't work with things, which they didn't create. But what about "let's players", because they didn't create games, which they are playing. But when we think about that they aren't doing anything wrong or illegal, because they bought games or got them from developers. When we're watching "Let's plays or gaming video" from "gamer" we can hear him/her to talk about the game quality. In fact by playing and talking about games they make an advertising to the developers and gaming industry. So I think that there should be a better definition for them. Another category are reaction videos or reviews, because there could be some troubles too so there are another missing definitions. The same problem is with tutorials, educational videos or various types of compilations, because there we need some definitions as well. And finaly special categories like parodies, covers or karaoke which should have some special rules. Right now the Article 13 is so poorly defined that it's in conflict with freedom of an expression and human rights. So I hope that together with EU we will find a solution that will be good for everyone.
