The Copyright Directive and its two controversial measures – Article 11 (the link tax) and Article 13 (copyright filters) – continue to draw rebuke.
Several weeks ago, the Copyright Directive – and the controversial Article 13 measure – cleared a major hurdle in the European Union. The latest version includes statutes the music industry has long pushed for, including safe harbor reforms and new rights for European songwriters and artists. over a week ago, in an unprecedented show of support, over 200 copyright groups banded together.
Organizations d representatives from across the cultural and creative sectors united under one hashtag – #Yes2Copyright.
Now, critics have also banded together to derail the Copyright Directive its two controversial measures – Article 11 and Article 13 under hashtag #SaveTheInternet.
According to the bill’s opponents, the copyright law reform would silence critics and limit self-expression on the internet.
A petition, aptly dubbed Stop the Censorship-Machinery! Save the Internet!, has reached nearly 5.1 million signatures. This remains just shy of the goal of 6 million.
At first, that may seem like a very impressive number. Yet, the online petition first launched over 9 months ago.
Supporting staunch critic Julia Reed, MEP of the Pirate Party – a well-known pro-piracy group – Copyright Directive opponents have strict demands for the EU.
According to the website, the Copyright Directive – a ‘form of censorship’ – will destroy the cultural norms of the internet.

“Even the sharing of links can become a massive problem on platforms like Twitter, Facebook, and others.”
