Article 13 Will Destroy SCI-FI As We Know It 💥 — watch the full video below, then keep reading for the key takeaways.
Article 13 and Article 11 have passed, and it’s a dark day for the internet and creators of every kind. Article 11, the link tax, puts a tax on links shared on public platforms, which could lead platforms to stop you from linking to news or videos at all. Article 13, the meme killer, is an EU copyright directive that lets copyright holders, mostly giant corporations, strike, claim, or take revenue from almost anything. Because both are so vague and broad, they could effectively destroy fair use and commentary — and that’s a real threat to sci-fi and creators everywhere.
