Can we take a second to talk about the new laws passed in the EU, Articles 11 and 13?
From what I understand, things like /co/ storytimes will essentially become illegal in the EU because it is copyrighted content being uploaded to the internet. Will even posting a picture of a comic book cover to start a thread be considered copyrighted content? Webms taken from cartoons too? How far will this go, and what does it mean for /co/?
Maybe things like Garfield Minus Garfield, and Lasagna Cat will also fall under the new laws and be banned by copyright holders?
