I think this is exactly what they want. They don't want to automatically tax every teenage kid making memes. They just want to create a legal minefield so whenever they decide a link is not ok they will have a law that backs them up.
In a way it's good because most fair use most likely will fly under the radar just as it does today, but on the other hand it's also scary that you never really know when you are passing the threshold and might face an army of lawyers.
It's very much like patent trolls. They strike like lightning on a sunny day if you happen to build a mildly successful product that can be remotely associated with their patent.
- piokoch 8y agoYes, this law is Stalinism-Leninism in its purest form. This law make sure that everyone is guilty and then those who are not "behaving", "not respect European values" (whatever it means today) can be charged and silenced. EU having such leaders as Junecker, who is not able to stay sober even during official meeting with all EU presidents and US president and bureaucracy pushing such laws will soon or later explode.
