Oh yeah, Scribd was this company, SEOing publicly available talks and then putting a paywall in front, while also consistently top-ranking in google-searches for ehm copies of copyrighted work. The EU-copyright directive might be not that great, but neither are greedy companies, embarking on shady, criminal or antidemocratic ventures under the banner of "we are progress, everybody loves us". Not sure what hinders distribution of the report on NYT/WaPo-frontpages if it's not copyrighted?!? Or hosting it on a Russian Onion Server like it's done for years (to come w/o a real copyright reform)?
