EU Parliament's new 'Q&A' page about the proposed Copyright Directive does actually make things more clear: the Directive is being pushed on behalf of the legacy copyright industry, with little understanding of - or regard for - those it will harm. techdirt.com/article…

The EU's article 13, as it exists, would be a nightmare for the Internet. Google has spent millions to develop ContentID for Youtube, and it still wouldn't be good enough for article 13. Also it's terrible. techdirt.com/article…
