Copyright directive update

Posted on 2018-06-20 by Paul Sutton

Update on previous posts on the EU Copyright Directive and Link Tax.

Today, MEPs on the Legal Affairs Committee of the European Parliament were asked to decide: Should your freedom to participate on the web be restricted to serve corporate interests – or should alternative measures be adopted that safeguard fundamental rights?

Despite a massive outpouring of protest from voters during these last few days, the majority voted for both the link tax and upload filters:

It looks like our local MEP Clare Moody voted AGAINST THIS,  however this does not mean the right is over,  we need to keep the pressure up and end this piece of legislation.
