"Despite the fact that even the staunchest supporters of Article 13 were
asking for it to be dropped from the final version of the EU Copyright
Directive, that didn't happen. In the final trilogue negotiations
between the EU Council, the EU Commission and the EU Parliament, it
appears that the agreed upon "compromise" is basically as bad as we
feared. It will fundamentally change the entire nature of the internet.
And not in a good way. As we recently discussed, the only way this makes
sense is if the goal is to have the law be so bad that big internet
companies feel forced to pay their way out of it."

"Together, we can still stop this law."
