Get a proxy to the US and support your favorite archive sites moving their servers and bank accounts to nations that don’t give a shit about EU law and fines, nations that appreciate their sovereignty and tell others to stuff it.

I think we’re all doomed  
The EU is truly an evil corporate loving hack that hates it’s people

I have some breaking news  
A recent investigation by the Corparate Europe Observatory revealed that big corporations (Mostly music related ones) INTENTIONALLY lied to the public by spreading propaganda and manipulated the MEP’s by silencing critics of A13 and in several instances, activists were verbally harassed  
This is horrifying and completely unacceptable

Here’s some odd news  
Basically, We’re back to July version (The one that was rejected)  
So now I have 3 questions  
1.Are they intentionally trying to kill it by rejecting again?  
2.Are they trying to just please YouTube? (YouTube wasn’t against the July version)  
3.Or is this just odd randomness?
 
So in a nutshell, The version that YouTube hated (The September one) is gone, But the situation is still a mess  
But is it a sign of it dying? That’s the question

I Just Want To Move On  
Look, I know standing up and awareness is a good thing, But A13 and other doomsday stuff are wasting my ability just to have fun on this site, Look this is a questionable proposal, But I feel like I just wanna move on and enjoy my personal life and just relax and you know taking a little break.  
If something like REALLY bad happens, Then maybe I’ll come back  
I’m not trying to be mean or sound like the stereotypical corporate shill, But it’s time for me to move on.  
Good luck everyone!

Article 13? I have no idea what this is about, can someone please say in a sentence or two what this is and why I should care or be scared? :(

Some news: https://juliareda.eu/2019/01/article-13-almost-finished/
 
For info on why this is bad, see stopacta2.org
 
If you want to help fight it, there are many ways:  
  • Attend a protest on January 19th. stopacta2.org/stopacta2-events  
  • Contact your government to oppose the whole directive or at least articles 11 and 13. Mail them, call them, meet them, spam comments on Facebook and Twitter, etc.  
  • Contact your MEPs. http://www.europarl.europa.eu/meps/en/home  
  • Sign a petition on change.org and EU official petitions page

    Well, it seems the current version affects not only the big sites. The part about large amounts was deleted (see the article by Julia Reda):  
    Use of protected content by online content sharing service providers storing and giving access to large amounts of works and other subject-matter uploaded by their users
     
    Perhaps Derpibooru could show a banner for EU visitors, mentioning the protests?

I see this and get that headache again. Hopefully this is a paper tiger. Just laws in a book. A youtube setting. I have signed the petition. Now I hope. That Voss gets discorded and turned into stone. kek.

And since the vote could be a few days after Brexit  
It’s possible that the UK might have dodged a bullet

I’m too stupid to understand these things, what’s going on?  
Is this about this copyright crap? Will this forbid fanwork or uploads of screencaps derpi has?
Background Pony #6B0C
I’ve gone back and started thinking  
Do you think it’s possible this isn’t as bad as everyone says it is?
Background Pony #6B0C
Also  
To the protesters  
Good luck  
This is the July version and that was rejected, The EU only approved the September version because of the smaller sites amendment, But since the July one doesn’t, I kinda see a happy ending with The EU possibly rejecting the July version again

Honestly looking at StopACTA2’s page  
They are doing stuff for good, But I think their narrative is too extreme
