That is true too. The article will act if you make money off of something that isn’t yours. This means Youtube content creators can go two ways:
Youtube becomes a charity site (like Wikipedia) which means there will be no copyright laws and Youtube can carry on as it is currently (WE just have to make sure WE keep funding it; it will introduced actual paid subscriptions to channels)
Youtubers’ pay for the copyrighted content they upload. Matured creators (those who are Youtube famous) can easily pay for it and may even be approached by the companies of the copyright holders themselves (since many companies see how Youtubers are great ways of advertisement for their products). This will mean, however, that smaller Youtubers will struggle, which will be bad for Youtube as they gradually lose creators.
If anything it may just introduce ‘a need for speed’. Stuff could still be uploaded that’s sneakily slipped under the copyright filters, so content can still be seen, it’s just that people will have to consume it quickly before it goes, and people can quickly download stuff and screenshot stuff and gif stuff before it goes. It may introduce a system where a video can be uploaded for a week before being taken down, so people get a week’s worth of a chance to watch the video. If the video maker paid for copyright permission, the video stays up indefinitely.
It is worth noting that it takes a while for laws to actually come into action (being in the UK currently is proving how Brexit is very slow ineffective, and now becoming a losing battle no matter what the outcome), so if the Article is announced that it has passed, there WILL be many more people to oppose it and may cause tensions between the public and companies/politicians, so the Article, in an ideal world, will be put back into question and eventually disposed of.
You can be any age to write to your MEP, in fact the younger you are the more likely you’ll be heard as it will be an interest to politicians to hear from younger people. The most you can do is just keep talking about it. You could go as far as actually contacting MEPs and important figures directly, via their direct social medias (search their emails even and email them directly). Talk about it at any given opportunity until people actually pay attention to what you have to say.
Just don’t sit in silence. If this is going down, it won’t go down quietly.
To send the email to your MEPs, all you’ll have to do is fill in a few info in the “sign the letter” option (aka: your full name, an email address and your own Country):
For good measure, I just did so in both the pages.
Here it comes the best part: EVERYONE around the world can sign and send those letter, so GO GO GO!
In addition, don’t forget that there are at least a couple of petitions on “change.org”:
It’s interesting how diseases rip through schools at incredible speeds despite being in an arguably modern, clean(ish) environment. I wonder if it has something to do with the whole “you need a doctor’s note to excuse your absence of even one day” combined with the average price of going to a doctor, the lack of education on things like “you’re still contagious even after the fever goes away”, and the overwhelming message of “if you don’t struggle through it, you’re a failure!”
then, there’s the anti-vaxxers who don’t vaccinate their kids
