>Article 13 dooms smaller companies and startups, thus further entrenching these big corporations. Only "smaller companies and startups" whose main purpose is "enabling users to upload and share a large amount of copyright-protected content with the purpose of obtaining profit from that activity".

That description includes any for-profit services that involve user-generated content. That doesn't make me any less concerned. Also that link appears to be dead, so I'm not sure what comment you're referring to.

  It's a link to a comment of theirs that is dead - not sure why it seems like a pretty good comment. I've vouched for it, hopefully a few other people with enough karma to do so will and it will resurrect itself.
