The European Union (EU) has created a series of new copyright laws called the "Directive on Copyright in the Digital Single Market". A section of this law is known as "Article 17" (previously known as "Article 13" in its draft stages), which has been criticized by Internet users and even big tech companies such as Google for the fact that it will force websites such as YouTube to install upload filters to scan and delete every piece of copyrighted material at the moment of upload, thus putting an end to memes and online freedom of speech.

People have been fighting back against the EU and their new copyright laws, to the point where they protested against these laws in various countries in the EU on March 23, 2019. In fact, there's even a petition that has 5.3 million signatures as of right now!

On March 26, 2019, the European Parliament has passed these laws. Eventually, on April 15, the European Council has voted in favor of the Copyright Directive, meaning that countries in the EU have two years to fully implement the law.

Shortly before the law was passed, the YouTuber Grandayy uploaded a music video called "Robocopyright", in which the British YouTube rapper Dan Bull repeatedly criticizes Article 17 throughout the song. The song is basically an introduction to Article 17 for those who aren't aware of it. As of writing this petition, the music video currently has two million views on YouTube.

Blue Sky Studios, an animation studio known for making films such as Ice Age and Rio, is going to be releasing their latest film, Spies in Disguise, on December 25, 2019. I propose to you, The Walt Disney Company and 20th Century Fox, to let Blue Sky Studios put the song into the film. Not only does the song fit in very well with the film, but it would mean that more people would become aware of Article 17 and its potential consequences. #SaveYourInternet

Sign this petition if any of you want the song to be in the movie! :)
