If it's your own blog, you are basically responsible for your own stuff. If you document where you got your assets from, I think every court will give you a pass, if someone wants to get you with the laws resulting from this directive (though the existing copyright-laws still apply to you).
Youtube is the target of this law and as they earn money with your video, they have to comply with European law, if they want to be active in Europe.
- mcv 8y agoTrue, but people posting comments could post copyright-infringing material. Then again, they don't get money from that (unless it's spam, I suppose).
- fock 8y agoYou should look at European laws (as should all the European citizens rightfully protesting stupid politicians)... For private blogs, the current process still will apply. I'm not even sure, if it does today include the provider privilege (which basically favors commercial platforms today), thus already enforcing moderation (or selling out discussion to disqus, etc). Also, people today could run around posting extremist propaganda in comments, which makes moderation necessary. As the result of this, most private (german) blogs I know are already implementing human content filters, e.g. post by email.
