Re: The EU has approved a copyright law that could change the internet as we know it
Everything is about making money. I suppose if someone has gone to the trouble of and time preparing something for the net, why should it be then be deemed 'free of charge' to all and sundry.Re: The EU has approved a copyright law that could change the internet as we know it
I am a novelist and a writer of creative nonfiction. If they steal my stuff, there is no way I have the resources to fight them in court. They can just take it when they want. This has to stop. I did not write my books so that someone else could steal it and claim it for their own. Some independent writers go through Amazon when they publish their works. I don't. I know what Amazon is trying to do - take it all. Bezo, the owner, is a thief. He makes billions, but he does not even pay most of his workers enough to live on.Re: The EU has approved a copyright law that could change the internet as we know it
I used to have a really good website for my family history - huge amounts of information, photographs, documents, details of births, baptisms, marriages, deaths, entries in census, emigration, school reports...........in short, every documented report I could find on numerous generations.Re: The EU has approved a copyright law that could change the internet as we know it

It takes money to pursue something in court. Big corporations have big pockets. Attorneys are outrageously expensive. And the corporations usually win, unless there's a class action suit.Re: The EU has approved a copyright law that could change the internet as we know it
"He who had the gold makes the rules." A lot of our politicians are owned by the corporations because of the contributions to their campaigns. Since Trump has been in office the Republican party, which is now in charge, passed legislation giving the corporations and the wealthy massive tax cuts. These cuts are permanent. They plan to pass another cut as quickly as they can before they are voted out of office in November. To pacify their base they passed minimal tax cuts for the rest of everyone, but those expire in a short time. Most people saw very little if any money from those cuts. These politicians are liars who are shredding what this country is about. I could go on, but this is not the political section of this forum.
