Yes, it is actually written into the Berne Convention as the right to quote [1]. And this is not going away at all. You will still be able to quote from articles in other articles, in blog posts, or in online discussions.
The problem is that the right to quote does not cover a mere mechanical aggregation of quotes; the resulting work must still be an original work. This affects primarily news aggregators and search engines (insofar as they quote from press publications).

- raverbashing 8y agoStill, videos on youtube get routinely taken down for using smaller snippets of works.
- rbehrends 8y agoThat's completely unrelated to ancillary copyright (the Article 11 stuff), however. That's the DMCA. You still have the right to quote, but Youtube is not required to host your content for pretty much whatever reason they like, including just taking whatever causes the least trouble for them in case of a DMCA takedown notice. Your right to quote exists vis-à-vis the copyright holder, not third parties. A frivolous DMCA notice may hypothetically get the copyright holder in hot water, but does not affect your contractual relationship with Youtube. And Youtube does not have to defend your rights for you, they just have to comply with the notification, takedown, and counter-notification requirements.
- raverbashing 8y agoWell, currently it's related to DMCA, but that would become mandatory with Article 13 and for other categories of work (like text/images, etc) - if not explicitly mandatory, implicitly mandatory with the new amendments Article 11 is the "link tax"
- rbehrends 8y agoWell, but this subthread was originally about Article 11. I'm not sure how you are getting from that to Article 13?
