"The new rules include holding technology companies responsible for material posted without proper copyright permission"
What this means?
Watch and see. I think if it passes, the problem is, how does a website control what a user uploads. What does responsible mean?
Article 13 holds larger technology companies responsible for material posted without a copyright licence.The Tech Companies would need to prove:
it made "best efforts" to get permission from the copyright holder
it made "best efforts" to ensure that material specified by rights holders was not made available
it acted quickly to remove any infringing material of which it was made aware
Sounds very much like DMCA? Just can't wait for another toothless watchdog, that doesn't even bark. File a claim, file a claim, whack a mole provisions, but how do we ever get paid for these violations. So far we get nothing...
and this one:
Article 11 states that search engines and news aggregate platforms should pay to use links from news websites.News sites don't want their headlines listed on search engines, and don't want people to be given links to their news? They want to be in a dark hole, and not seen? Something sounds wrong with that. Search engine paying for finding things for us?
