That's a document from 2016. It's only "final" in the sense that it's the final version of the Commission's proposal, I think. https://edri.org/copyright-refor

That's a document from 2016. It's only "final" in the sense that it's the final version of the Commission's proposal, I think. https://edri.org/copyright-reform-document-pool/ https://edri.org/copyright-reform-document-pool/ has a whole lot of different versions of the text, though I don't know how to find out what text was actually voted on today. I expect it to show up at http://www.europarl.europa.eu/oeil/popups/ficheprocedure.do?lang=&reference=2016/0280(COD) http://www.europarl.europa.eu/oeil/popups/ficheprocedure.do?... though apparently that may take a few days. Anyway, the version at http://www.consilium.europa.eu/media/35373/st09134-en18.pdf http://www.consilium.europa.eu/media/35373/st09134-en18.pdf for example adds the following paragraph to Article 11: "The rights referred to in the first subparagraph shall not apply in respect of uses of insubstantial parts of a press publication. Member States shall be free to determine the insubstantial nature of parts of press publications taking into account whether these parts are the expression of the intellectual creation of their authors, or whether these parts are individual words or very short excerpts, or both criteria." I don't find this particularly easy to understand, but one reading is "Member States may define article titles to be 'substantial'", in which case any use of them (as in linking) would be prohibited without a license.

You're right, but I was under the impression the it's the latest complete version of the document because all the proposed changes to it were in really short documents. Anyway, the PDF you posted has some of the changes already applied so I recommend everybody to read that document instead. I only read the changes that were proposed to be made to article 13 (on first glance they made it into the version you posted without any further changes) so I can't really comment on article 11. However I will say that I find it completely bizarre that people believe posting a link could ever require a license in Europe (or that any EU member state would define the title of an article to be a snippet of that article).
