New E.U "Link Tax " Law will End Your Right to Share Information you Deem Important !! We have one Month Only to Defend this Right to Fair Use and Free Speech !
The E.U is going to pass a law in just ONE MONTH that will destroy totaly the internet as we have known it ! Where the Sharing between peers is no longer permitted and only people who pay a tax to use a link or even two seconds of footage from a once free and openly fair use source will now be allowed to upload and share !! If you do not have the license for this media you are liable to have committed a felony ! This applies o fcourse also to the web site on which this now deemed " illegal" content is uploaded !

Article 13, if it passes will essentially be the end of fair use and will set a frightening precedent we all need to be aware of
Your thoughts and reactions to my post, as ever much appreciated in the comment section below !

But how will they shut it down. It's not possible now to stop the Blockchain; only the website. Another website can just pop up under a different url with all the same info.
This law only applies to " conventional " internet uses ! Blockchain indeed is not able to be censored or stopped ! But Steem.inc are a real company with an address and they might find themselves to serious heat, when they are seen as sharing content illegally ! But this is not especially bout steemit, its reddit,4chan, youtube everything even personal blogs !
I wonder if it's possible to decentralize the rest of Steem so that it would be impossible to shut down.
I dont know but looks like it might be better if they did as if they are seen as the physical source behind this to the state worriesome blockchain they cannot censor then they would be the weakpoint of the blockchain no ?? But yeah as you say the blockchain is here and nobody , not even @ned can take it down ! As lonmg as there is electricity and internet connection supply available ! How long before that is terminated as they see the cyber world as being their main point of concern and control risk !!
For every action there is a reaction.
These new laws only open up more need for alternative non mainstream media sources.
These new media sources shall need alternative means of funding.
Which to me = more justification and need for SMTs.
Which can only help grow the Steem ecosystem.
"For every action there is a reaction."True that !!
for every injustice to Humanity there is a Backlash !!
@gomeravibz, can you provide links, documents, any backup to your claims? Love to see confirmation. Thanks.

Hello there @distantsignal, thankyou so much for coming up with that for @cjchun !! I needed to go out and get some air just now ! All this tyranny is really beginning to become a real PIA !!
Yeah It's not possible now to stop the Blockchain.............
Yes but never take your computer to an airoprt @sabbir1213 ! leave it safe at home and you will have less trouble, unless they decide to break your door down and cart you off in the middle of the night !!
This not work... I think this who think this out have something very wrong in the head. ... I go in Internet ... and then it start ask... " do i have permission? " I take link " No " ... and it say... " try next year again, but do not forget to pay your internet bill."
hello @foxioit, thanks for your comment ! Yeah well as crazy as this sounds this is just about what they are proposing ! Infact you will be able to still go on the internet, no problem, too much money in that for them ! But what will no longer be possible is to limk to another friend a media of any sort, if you are not the owner and relevable for a tax to do this ! But the tax goes to government and not the owner of the media ! Its pretty disgusting tyranny for sure as this will essentially kill the sharing from peer to peer of informations ! Will have clear negative effects on political spheres where the big government will be once more the undisputed releasers of information and the independent truthing community will be effectively silenced by this !! its all about control !! as ever ((
Sad... :(
Sources @gomeravibz? Let's try to keep it real and hold our feet on the ground, otherwise this will just create unnecessary noise. We have already too many fake news, we don't need more :)
Cheers from Prague!
@klaus85
This is the end of the EU.
yes this is just quite simply the realisation of the total facist Superstate E.U in all of its Darkest glory ! This must not be allowed to fly and if they pass it, then their mainstream mocking bird media countries will become meaningless and replaced by real autonomous independent journalists working from renumerised blockchain ! Steem to the Moon !! HODL )))) LOL
the internet is supposed to be FREE !!!
We live in the information Age ....
I've Lost the ability to be shocked by anything that the so called
Modern Civilizationtries to pull over on Humanity..
Damn the institutions !!
Yes we do @primal-buddhist, but the question now seems to be which information ?? Who really saw this one coming ! Its sooo outrageously facistic nobody would have believed it possible even a couple of years ago ! But this is now the reality and effective in just one month ! So thats how they will silence all of these independent truthers who indeed rely on sourcing and citing others media to build and expose their own ideas and beliefs !! This is truly beyonf the pale and needs to be stopped ! But how ??
Hi @klaus85, could not agree with you more on that ! I can tell you that this is a true upcoming huge issue ! There are the links provided most lindly by @distantsignal below ! But yes i agree we do need to try and keep our feet on the ground, something which gets harder and harder as things just seem to be getting more and more surreal with each passing day !
Erm yeah, good luck implementing this EU :-)
Well lets see if they can ,2geordieprepper, but waiting to see might be a big mistake and maybe we really need to get this out there virally and fight back ! I dont see what will stop them from implementing this as indeed they seem to be implenmenting alot of terrible stuff right now with little or no resistance being felt !
The only reason why any of their BS rules are implemented is because the majority allow it. Myself, you and others are unfortunately in a minority crowd. We at least investigate and find and fight back against this rubbish. If it is brought in I'll not only do my news show every single week without fail putting in links, but I'll do it twice a week and possibly even daily. I have no contract with the EU and EU laws do not apply in Great Britain as per the British Constitution and I'll be damned they going to stop me doing something I enjoy doing and that is reporting on news and events.
Yes we just should not comply, but im thinking itll be hard to resist this as it will be implemnented by A.,I analysis alogrithim and tey maybe well just block you entirely if you are an " account" or ISP that consistantly disregards ther law ! Then i guess one would never be far away from a visit from our not so friendly thought poloice to see why indeed you dont follow the law !! But yes i am with you in your stance, lets see where that gets us eh @geordieprepper ??
Absolutely! I think it gets us on alternative sites that are on the Blockchain. For YouTube etc it will be just one more reason to shut down a users channel.
I personally think this maybe well be the final nail in all of these "social" meida web sites that we know are ownwed by nefarious sorts ! I dont see many people using a system that was free that will now cost them money ! Most will just say "fck it" im closing my account and going somewhere where i can link and share information !! So maybe as ever these totalitariians are just shooing themselves in the foot @geordieprepper??
But then the A.I filters and checking bots that they will be using for this may be a serious problem and for us I think as even positing to Steemit will still activate these filtering of information devices being emplyed !
Or maybe more a reason for users to shut down their channel and leave this evil spying censoring piece of crap where it belongs in the big waste basket of History ! So lets seem then what they can filter when nobody is using their NSA created back doored web sites such as facebook, youtube and twitter ! Google too can go suck an egg i stopped using that piece of slime years ago !!
Yeah, I'm just going to post on alternative sites like here on Steemit and to be honest it's none of their fucking business what I post, when I post it, or what content there is in it or any I reference and good fucking luck to them trying to get me to pay this 'link tax' lol
yeah nice @geordieprepper, as indeed my goodfriend who is quite a insider on all of this blockchain tech tells me this will not work in the slightest for them ! Its only centralised web sites that can be effectively monitored by these pesky liberals that want us dead ! So this will be the explosion of blockchain tech as the whole of the free thinking world leaves the youtube/facebook/google ghetto and comes to blockchain alternatives such as steemit and d.tube etc !! we did well to invest in which case lol !! Alex Jones comes to steemit ))) wow !! lol
