Anyone want to speculate on the chances of this getting approved by the European Parliament? Last July they blocked an earlier version and sent it back to the commission.
Edit:
And as someone living in the UK, I'm also wondering what the implications of this are for brexit[1]. Will the post-brexit interface between the EU and the UK w/r/t copyright be made even more complicated by this, with knock-on effects on digital service providers on each side?
[1] which I continue to oppose
- pjc50 8y ago> I'm also wondering what the implications of this are for brexit We're well into "who knows?" territory, but what would definitely happen is the UK would lose any say over the EU rules. The UK isn't really large enough to be its own market for startups (unlike the EU and US), so we'd mostly end up using companies hosted in one or the other and obliged to follow their rules. (Safe Harbour is probably a more interesting one to consider!)
- frockington 8y agoIf the EU continues down the regulatory path, the UK could become the startup capital of Europe if they market correctly
- blibble 8y agothe UK is already the startup capital of Europe

- rcxdude 8y agoI mean, it already is. Brexit threatens that, as opposed to providing an opportunity.
