It’s not enough for the EU Copyright Industry. It never is. Until they have supreme control of how copyright is used on the Internet, there is no such thing as enough for them. They will go as far as they need to in order to fulfill their own selfish desires to protect their content, even if they are in no position to do so without infringing on the rights and freedoms of others.

Just a few days ago, the European Union copyright industry started up a website called gerechtes-netz (I believe it means just-network) where the entire purpose is to slander Big Tech, such as Google or Microsoft, and ask(or demand in this case) for more regulation be placed upon Big Tech and have more “protections” for copyright.

This is their objective:

“Objective: To influence the formation of public opinion on dealing with digital monopolists and the resulting indirect training of officials, politicians, judges and decision-makers to make judgments and decisions that ensure that the digital monopolists once more comply with the law. That is: antitrust law, data protection law, laws protecting children and adolescents, tax law, equality laws and the protection of intellectual property.”

I shall remind you that this is all almost 6 months after Article 11/13 was passed and it helped them have more control over copyright on the Internet. Memes will be restricted, YouTube videos taken down, websites shut down. All in the name of “copyright protection.”

No matter how many privileges the copyright industry is given, they will expect more, they will want more, and that’s why you can’t trust them. You give them an inch, they will take the whole thing.

We now know that this won’t stop with Article 11/13. They will come for the whole thing until they are satisfied, which means never. We must be more wary of the intent of the copyright industry now because if we are not, they will walk all over us, without a bit of resistance, with our freedoms taken away, and the purity of the Internet being forever tarnished.
