RE: EU Link Tax & Upload Filters Proposal - Why It's a Bad Idea #saveyourinternet
My biggest gripe with this law is that it adds an unneeded layer to the whole existing copyright system. Especially when they would consider small snippets as copyrighted. Just doesn't seem very fair to me. The original creator doesn't lose any revenue because someone quoted something from their article. No, I think they might even get more readers because of it, as long as everything is accompanied by a source.
That said, there are limits to everything, I certainly do not think you should just be able to copy anything. Use of copyrighted images without permission isn't okay IMO.
I agree - referenced quotes = free promotion. I would not complain about that.
May common decency prevail in honoring one's sources!
Promoting awareness of productive minds and their work is in the end just good for everyone, rewards aside.
