The EU screwed us over for personal gain. Some claim they voted wrong by accident.
Demand a revote by this petition to make them put their money where their mouth is.
We can still have the Council reject the law around April 9th through further waves of protesting.
Remember that EU copyright law from a few months back? Well, if you haven't heard, it was narrowly passed yesterday. But don't go holing up in a bunker with an assault rifle and printouts of your Read Later shelf just yet.
SIGN THE PETITION TO DEMAND A NEW DIRECTIVE
Haven't done much updates on this for a while since the EU Parliament election, so I guess about time. Journal link here gives finer details and links on our current status.
The EU Copyright Directive is coming back around for another vote. Here's DeFranco's Breakdown:

SIGN THE NEW PETITION TO DEMAND THE COPYRIGHT DIRECTIVE IS OVERTURNED
(So, I'm going to talk about Article 13 and shit again. If you want to skip all the political talk and the jargon about what A13 threatens to do and how it might affect us - even outside the EU - hit Ctrl-F and search for "***" without quotations)
It's been a good ride, y'all. But today, Articles 11 and 13 of the EU Copyright Directive passed with no amendments. We're likely about to see a massive purge of user-generated content if it even has a 'risk' of violating copyright due to the implementation of bots and algorithms meant to delete anything that 'could possibly' violate copyright in an attempt to keep the now-liable web platforms that host our content safe from lawsuits.

Take it away, Defranco!
TL;DW:
Good News: Article 13, the copyright fine and filtering section, now exempts smaller sites and nonprofits, meaning GitHub, Wikipedia, and maybe even Fimfic are exempt.
Bad News: YouTube, Soundcloud, et al and their userbases are still super duper fucked.
On September 12, the EU is going to bring back Article 13 (As well as Article 11 and the rest of the EU Copyright Directive) into negotiations.
