Apparently this is now a thing, hooray for our globalist masters and
the plan to
end memetic warfare protect content creators...
Maybe its 'a good thing', let us know in the replies, but I'm trying to figure out what this means in practical terms - for example how does it affect SFM's artists who are busy recreating Enterprise after Enterprise, Star Destroyers and all sorts of other copyrighted (or even semi-original) design?
Also,
@Guerrilla Have you any concerns over how this will affect site operations, access etc?

If this is just to protect content creators, I wonder how this would protect independent content creators developing original IP, since the 3rd party censoring bots would have to be aware of the IP to begin with.
In a bigger picture sense, I'm worried it'll effectively end up effectively region locking pieces of the Internet, which is a bad thing for everyone.

Article 13:
-Every website or App that focuses on profits has to do their level best to buy licenses for any copyright material that might be uploaded. I remember that the old site had a download area for models and even though it was non-profit, you know how companies are...
-All "Start-ups" have to prevent the upload of copyright-protected material.
-If a legal case ensues, the site-owners are the ones who take the blame.
Article 11:
-If several words, sentences or entire paragraphs from a news-article are quoted somewhere, a license is required for that.
-No exceptions! No matter if private sites, blogs, or the copying of entire articles onto Facebook or whatever.
Dunno how far translated articles are concerned so this passage alone might already infringe on that crap... Welcome to the 21st century lads. >:(
