Clueless twats. I will look up all who voted for this farce and let them know individually it will haunt them for the rest of their political career.
No forgiveness for kneecapping free expression in return for some lobbyist euros and pretending it protects artists.
And to the artists who were dumb enough to believe it: if your art wasn't mediocre you wouldn't have any trouble drawing the attention of the copyright industry, as they are always looking for something new to milk. So you traded off a big break that won't happen anyway for the collective right to free expression of the entire Union. Good job, you utter tossers.
- tomtompl 8y agoJust keep in mind that EU bodies which have the legislative power don't really have constituents, not really been elected by anyone.
- rcxdude 8y agoThe parliament definitely does have constituents, and they needed to approve this for it to get through (the rest of the bodies are either controlled by the parliament or by the individual governments of the EU members).
- anoncake 8y agoWhich EU body is not elected? The European Parliament is directly elected by the people. The Council consists of each member states elected governments. The Commission could be considered not elected, but everyone involved in choosing it is ultimately elected, either directly or indirectly. It also cant make laws without the approval of the unambiguously elected bodies.
- lagadu 8y agoLegislative power is co-held by the parliament and the council: the parliament is directly elected by the people and the council is elected by the governments that were elected by the people.
