Once again people with the money want to fiddle around with the Internet in a way that won't end well for the people with less money.

The European Union Directive on Copyright in the Digital Single Market, specifically Article 13 and Article 11, is vague, overreaching, and looks ripe for abuse. In a world where ContentID and copyright protection is already an outdated mess, this won't make anything better.
Not for us, anyway.

Goddamn it, as if the public domain hadn’t already been maimed badly enough.
Nenilein Yeah, we're probably due for another corporate/Disney lead campaign to push copyright limits even further back soon.
shadowspider9 Dear Disney. Please FREE MICKEY. He’s been through enough.
The very last thing the world needs is anything that TH-cam does to be legally codified.
This is a keen reminder that the Internet is basically about 30 years old and if you want to protect your rights you need to fight for them. Stop accepting pro-business shit-talk from your friends and family.
Only if you think that way, there is always a chance for thing to get better so long as your fighting for it. Not going to be easy but neither has anything we have had to fight for in the past.
@Orga777 Exactly. It's all just to fulfill their wet dream of internet monopoly.
Lawmakers has been lied to that there exists a perfect working automated system for copyrights, because the ones telling them wants them to think this exists - the lobbying people. In fact, from their view it actually works. From their view it is amazing to stop things to get uploaded, what ever it is, even if it is fair use, just to be sure. The laws are already heavily leaning to large companies. They don't need more help.
To anybody who wants to check it out, look up the No Agenda podcast! They deconstruct the news and filter out the BS. Been one of my favorite podcasts for years!
We have the same problem in US, 60 and 70 year olds that have little or no experience with the 21st century. These are the people who are making the laws
those automated systems work perfectly for the greedy bastards lobbying for this, and if you're not lobbying modern lawmakers cannot give two shits about you.
Yeah the level of misinformation on technology is really sad. It's also really sad that people are calling for leaving the EU instead of electing people who understand this stuff and could make the EU work in our favor...
I agree with you The_Blazer. On the subject of Brexit, I'd rather Britain be the collective mire of half-baked and admittedly less-than-ideal accountability that is EU, rather than what I can only assume will be a fully-baked willful lack of accountability that almost definitely characterize the UK's leadership left to it's own devices.
You'd think TH-cam, Twitter and Facebook could put infinitesimally small amounts of their unimaginable wealth aside to hire, train up and put to practice teams of _actual_ human moderators, who could perhaps recognize problematic accounts and material on their platforms and act accordingly. And hey, why not put some sort of investigative procedure in place for the purposes of challenging decisions made by the aforementioned teams of _actual_ homo sapiens. Wouldn't that be novel!
But no. They can't invest money in making things better, for their consumers or even for themselves. Spending and investing is the cardinal heresy for these people. The unholy grail of unthinkable actions. Perhaps when they finally reach the milestone of earning all the money in the multiverse and byakhee-infested far realms combined will they fork out for something even remotely useful and beneficial to their own business. But until then we'll have to make-do with a lottery of algorithmic systems that stretch the definition of "artificial intelligence" to breaking point.
This video will not be available in europe pretty soon.
How
Yes tell the internet not to do something, works everytime 100% of the time...
Oh shit, look who it is.
Now I don't know know too much about websites but would a ton of people posting images at the same time slow down social media websites?
I'm still convinced we only have Trump because memes.
Big corporations at the stage where they get an own ad department should hire someone who daily calls every executive and shareholder, reminding them of the streisand effect.
Hey internet, at all costs, do not jump off the cliff.
Step1: Make a video with a facecreationsoftware that goes trought every possible facial feature
Step2: Copyright it.
Step3: Upload it to YT.
Step4: Content ID EVERYTHING. (AI can't differentiate good enough between facial features to not Flag it)
I think someone should actually do that, it would cause an uproar on youtube unlike any other. An uproar that, perhaps will actually get somthing done
Its been done with uploads of random white noise and randomly altering black and white pixels for hours. That got copy write claims.
You can just blindly flail around Copyright-striking everything, and I do mean everything and you can just... make bank. As long as you don't hit a big enough percentage of videos on a big enough channel you can be rich young.
Ha ha , using tesorflow or another deeplearnig software that is capable of procedurally generating faces from one set of features as a parameter to the other. It would take ether a quantum computer to handle those threads in a reasonable amount of time. Or a giant cluster... You could rent. Hmm Google lab could be used against them
I'll content ID your video then! No proof needed.
People who dont understand the Internet making laws for it.
We need a law that has severe penalties...financial and otherwise...for companies that make false copyright claims. With no effort from the actual victim of the false claim. If you counter-claimed a false flag and it was found to fair use...if there was then a huge financial penalty for the false claimant...they might think twice about making the claim.
Though sadly they'd probably just abandon TH-cam / Twitter ad support instead.
KotCR You’d think it would work the same as accusing someone of a crime. When they find out you weren’t raped, and just wanted to hurt someone and slander them, you should get the full stick of the law up your ass IMO
Well if you call the police and don't actually need them they can arrest you for wasting their time and police force.
KotCR Ha, but responsibility is for poor people and the unwashed masses!
You should've mentioned that one time when Family Guy stole footage from a guy who played an old NES game and then took down the original video for copyright infringement.
What a piece of fuck
Or a shitload of fuck.
Yea, that one was particularly scummy. I sadly remember it happening.
Twice actually. Once for the Double Dribble NES footage from sw1tched which was uploaded years before the episode of Family Guy aired. Secondly for the Tecmo Bowl clip. But thanks for saying that cause I only found out the second case after googling and finding an article from TorrentFreak (which I won't link to since I can't afford to pay them for the link. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ) which said it was cause of the content ID bots.
We should all really raise hell over that. Talk about setting a bad precedent. So if Family Guy aired a clip of a Jim Sterling video, could they take down that video of Jim's on grounds of copyright laws and just bully Jim into oblivion because Fox can afford better lawyers than our boi Jim

You try far too hard.. its cringey
I believe people think too small when it comes to the potential impact of this. It would not just be the end of meme's. Anything that could potentially be seen as containing any form of copyrighted material could be affected. Forums, chat's, AMV's, let's plays, reactions, playlists, remixes, reviews, yes even wiki's could be affected.
matteste That was basically my thought process throughout this video. With so much online entertainment being derived from pop culture (let's plays, animations, commentary or news channels etc) the internet as we know it would be absolutely devastated by Article 13.
It's not really that people are thinking too small (though I suspect many are), it's that meme's are so widely used, so numerous, so obviously not taking absolutely any money from the creator at all yet they could very well be "banned" under this.
The other things you mentioned I could create a plausible argument for (maybe not chat), even if I don't agree with those arguments myself, but I suspect memes are the focal point because of just how harmless and universally used they are.
And since I said I could:
- Forums: "Taking people away from our official forums" (especially those dedicated to a single game/movie/whatever)
- AMV's: "Stopping people listening to our official upload of the song" or "stops people watching our TV show/official clips for those moments"
- Let's Plays: "People will watch the game for free instead of buying it"
- Reactions: "People will watch the 'thing' for free instead of buying it/watching it on our official channel"
- Playlists: "People will watch/listen to illegal uploads instead of our official" (in my experience a low number of playlists, at least on youtube, consist of any official uploads)
- Wiki's: "Stops people buying our official guides" (Games)...I can't justify other mediums..."People will just read wiki's instead of 300 issues of the manga" I guess. "Will stop people buying our 'Encyclopedia of xxx' book" is probably a better example.
Maybe people need to star creating actual original content, instead of the same old derivative shit.
Taking inspiration is one thing; using someone else's content and just lazily slapping over it what nowadays passes as "commentary" is something else.
Memes, let's plays, reactions, playlists.....it's all the same old shit, with no added value. Create things, don't just talk about things (or worse, 'react' to things, whatever that is) that others have created.
One thing you didn't mention about article 11 is that it directly punishes independent news sources
Lot of Nazi run news sites too of course. Honestly, most of them.
Not really a fan of these laws as they stand but at least there's some silver lining.
@@vincentmuyo So the laws that enable monopolization of all the information you receive is fine because it got a few Nazis?
Are you insane?
@@jackhazardous4008 thats not what he said, he was saying that there was "at least a silver lining", implying he found these laws stupid and bad as well
A. Person you calling the MSM all that shit is all the proof OP will ever need, dipshit.
the MSM aren't far-left at all, if they were they wouldn't be constantly chomping at the bit for more war
It is quite simple - it is down to money. Corps have tons of money to whisper this into ear of law makers. We don't.
The lobbyist groups even write the law proposals for the MPs and give them money to introduce them to the parliament. Crazy.
They did the same thing here in the US with that nasty DMCA. They even managed to get treaties signed to make it international law. Imagine having so much money that you can convince most of the world's governments to allow you to enforce a law that you wrote.
Welcome to the pyramid scheme that is reality. Our children's children's children are fucked before they are even born this world gets more and more insidious and broken every day. Greed will kill the human race.
@@LeonidasSthlm wow.. is there an article on that?
Old people don't understand new things so now its a public threat the article.
@Proscriptus compared to the politicians yes. Laws are insanely far behind and the people in law look like zombies with how old they are; and given how young the people working and pushing tech forward are or appear to be in comparison, sure we’re being pushed forward by children.
No, we oldies understand them and understand how insidious these laws are as they are sneaked through and unless people actually start paying attention to what is going on this will continue, but aas Jim says it is the corporations that are behind this, and not as you claim a specific age range.
@Proscriptus you think 70-80 year old law makers have anything to do with the technology you're using today? Okay, whatever dude.
More like they understand it so well, that milking you little kids for every penny you have is as easy as stealing your candy.
@bS0up same could be said for the 20 or 30 year old politicians and lawyers. Your 70-80 year old law makers, have special interest groups saying them one thing, while another group (big tech giants and consumers) are saying otherwise. Who are they going to believe? The consumers? Hah, they are just stupid peons. The big (american) tech giants? They are already suspicious about all the american tech companies having so much influence. So by default they are going to listen to the special interest groups... Or at least, thats how i see it.
If TH-cam does not punish in any way those who are making false copyright claims (as long as they do not fight those claims after 2 weeks period), why not get a bunch of channels and start copyrighting Nintendo, Disney, certain music distributors etc?
Let them see how fun it is when their own official video on which they spend lot of time and money gets copyrighted by some random no-name for two weeks without them being able to do anything about it.
The downside is that these companies have the resources to do the whole counter claim process and bring the person to court. Once the case hits court, then the false claimant can be done in with perjury.
Granted, this can be theoretically done by anyone, but most don't because the whole court process takes up too much time and money to be worth it. If you're a big corporation, however, then you have people to do it for you so you're not inconvenienced.
If done on a large enough scale, even Nintendo would eventually be worn down.
This assumes that those content creators don't have a special relationship with the platforms and so would be immune to it.
^ This. Cuz while the idea 'could' work, it's just simple fact that all the huge corporations get favoritism and perks with TH-cam, while everyone else is just fucked. It'd be, at most, a minor annoyance.
TH-cam can easily deny copyright claims if they are obvious fakes.
I can't wait for this to backfire in the faces of copywright holders. I think of the Marvel Movies for example. I'm sure a substantial portion of those movies success was driven by the sharing of memes and gifs- "What are those" in Black Panthers - or "I am Groot" for Gaurdians. Cant wait for this FREE marketing to be silenced and then people who otherwise dont follow movies or watch ever trailer that comes out wont be buying tickets.
I was thinking exactly the same that their effectively going to shut down any free marketing if they try and enforce this. End up costing companies millions of extra dollars in marketing campaigns
Word of mouth has always been important to the success of new movies and games. Very rarely do people just go into a movie theater or store and sit down to the first one that looks cool. No they heard about it form a friend, watched a trailer or video etc. Especially important with video games. I trust some random TH-cam review a heck of a lot more than any official game review magazine about which new games are good or not.
Justa Guy honestly the last 4 or 5 movies I went to see were because I saw an ad on youtube. But depending on how strict this gets, I might just stop watching youtube entirely.
@Sick with the Downs, Funny enough I'm the opposite. I tend to avoid official trailers and the like if I can. Way to many movies have been spoiled these days by poorly created trailers. Trailers that give away all the major plot points, tell al the funny jokes or just plain mislead you into thinking it's a completely different movie.
I get as much information from trusted sources as I can, sources I know that tend to not spoil the details without a warning.
Imagine you produced a stage play. The theatre says you get 100$ for every seat sold each night. Play comes out and gets mixed reviews, but you want to sell more seats.
Now imagine you could shut down every negative review of the play for 4 months, while keeping the positive reviews up, with no repercussions.
Corporations will simply copystrike anyone who doesn't either lick their boots or essentially market their product.
8/10 IGN review? Oh sure, fair use.
elephant/5 review from videogamedunkey? "Your video was down for a week? Our bad."
1/10 review from xX_gamecritic99_Xx? [This channel has been removed for repeated infringes of copyright]
Maybe people should start false claiming videos from advertisers and big corporations ourselves, make them start dealing with the automated system and see them kick up a fuss.
Cause these systems will only go away if it starts bothering the people with the money.
What seems like would inevitably happen is those large corporations with endless amounts of lawyers and money would sue the people claiming and simply win the lawsuit with nothing actually changing.
I think we should do to their corporate HQs what happened to the credit companies in Fight Club.
The problem with this is that 1). these are companies that have a vested interest in defending their own copyright for legal reasons, 2) as mentioned above, they also have the dosh to actually take these claims to court when they percieve them as a threat, and 3) since they have the money to take this to court, they will just add fighting these claims as an additional task to their legal department. The only result is that some cubicle slaves will have to run more overtime. The core of the problem is the scale economy: small businesses and individuals like youtubers simply don't possess the scale of resources required for an equal fight: it's why copyright claiming videos is such a popular tactic and why you could not flip that around on the abusers. It's also the very reason why proper legislation is so vitally important.
@@-tera-3345 No they wouldn't go to court, what would happen is what happens now... the claimant gets 'protected' and it's up to the uploader to prove they own the copyright. It is actually a great idea that if more people start claiming bogusly against big corporations like they do to small content creators. There's nothing illegal about it, it's just how the current automated system works.
This is actually a good idea. If enough people created ghost accounts and did this it would cause a serious ruckus. Fight fire with fire.
There's also the issue this is an EU DIRECTIVE, which by itself is not is not legally binding compared to regulations (see GDPR for examples of when an EU law is immediately legally binding in member states - the wording is more specific and it's the same throughout the EU).
The nature of a directive feeds into issues like "it will only blur the lines further" and "vagueness", because they need to be open ended enough for the member state to implement whatever method they want to use to achieve those results in the directive which has its upsides and downsides. What one EU country determines to be "unauthorized" or "appropriate" to comply with the directive is not going to be consistent which could make this even more difficult to deal with (if, for example, France decided screenshots were not compliant, could we just...not host that content in France? Region lock specific content to specific regions? Does it matter if you're from France seeing non compliant content if the content isn't in France to begin with?).
Corporations: The modern threat to freedom everywhere.

Cyberpunk novels from the 80s and 90s were right, in the future, corporations own everything.
Sadly, though I think many predicted Japanese corporations owning everything. That was before the Japanese economy imploded in the 90's. Part of me feels that the 80's conservative movement and collapse of communism led a lot of sci-fi writers to predict a corporatist future. Those novels feel more prophetic now given how the 2000s and 2010s have been marked by corporations gaining power and rights in governments all over the world. Even China has become dominated by corporations. In fact, they helped the Chinese government with their Sesame Credit system, which is the most Orwellian system in existence right now.
I think more people should be worried about private businesses becoming Big Brother more than governments.
Put on a trenchcoat and fight some conspiracies...
@NittanyTiger1 No real difference there, sorry. "The government" is simply a corporation that sells protection and utilities and charges you via yearly subscription. Regular "Corporations" are what you call a group of people that sell anything else.

The thing is, the whole of the EUCD is just one big problem, not just Article 13. Copyright as it stands is already a terrible system that just flat out doesn't work. And whats really worrying is that apparently, there are rumors of foul play going around, with things such as changes being made to the bill when no one was looking or that those voting for it not even having any idea of what they are voting for, or the possibility that the whole bill either might be unconstitutional or has skipped several important steps for the sake of rushing it out, yet they are pushing it through anyways. In fact, some has taken it as violating several other laws. The whole thing is made to favor the big companies only and no one else. If anything, judging from how the thing is made, copyright is just used as an excuse for the bill. To me it seems to scream that it's true purpose is to act as those big companies wet dream. To crush and suppress competition and to given them near monopoly of the internet market, all from greedy fossils who refuse to adapt with the times.
One thing I see people defending this thing with is that "it doesn't affect the small ones". But then, by what definition does something constitute as small? And if it only affects the big ones, wouldn't that make the small ones afraid of innovation and growth, since if they grew big enough, they would be hit by the legislation and then most likely end up being crushed by it?
The dangerous vagueness of these bills is a feature, not a bug. It's specifically designed to not just target works that make use of copyrighted works in fair-use methods, but to even target purely original content that doesn't use any copyrighted works whatsoever, so they can take out any competition whose pockets aren't deep enough to fight them in court.
The long-term legislative agenda of the big media companies who write these bills for politicians to rubber-stamp, in case it wasn't obvious, is to ultimately force TH-cam and other content sites to totally flush themselves of user-made content, leaving the big media companies and their paid content as the only options for digital entertainment.
A couple years ago I assumed this was a ridiculous pipe dream and the decrepit rich idiots on the boards of these giant companies just fundamentally didn't understand how the internet worked. But seeing all the carnage that's taken place over the last couple years, I'm genuinely worried. And heck, even if they can't fully purge the internet of user-made content, it's a numbers game. Every indie creator they drive out of business is a few more customers who can't be arsed to find ways around the copyright-lock games and will thus once more pay money for the overpriced blockbuster dreck from the behemoths.
I dunno... it looks bleak.
@Orga777 Which long games have they lost? Because I can't think of any off the top of my head. How long of a game are you thinking?
Don't worry, we'll find an alternative way if shit really hits the fan. How long have copyrights been fighting piracy with little success?
Greed is the root of all evil. Big Money will not rest until all forms of entertainment is outlawed. And Article 13 is one of their aces. To all in the EU -- you must get mad, but direct your anger in creative means and grill your officials into blocking this.
(Also Jim, you f'n nailed it, as usual. Big ups.)
Yeah, Anthony G. has it. They want entertainment options out there to distract us. That said they do basically want to outlaw whatever they don't control (and monetize). It's about power more than anything.
Not ALL forms.... just all the ones they can't directly Control or own as shareholders to require Double Digit dividends from
Its not greed, its the business and legal institutions running exactly the way they always have. The people running the system *are* greedy, but this system is what enables, encourages, and protects that greed.
I mean, it shows how oligarchy is just a logical conclusion of capitalist "democracy". There is no representation of what people want, or of anything good that people might not want(the only argument against direct democracy)
It's just an utter shit-show, they completely suppress the ability for people to create art so that corporations can rake in cash, or even kill competition without gaining anything. It's beyond repulsive, every person voting for it, should be flayed, not even an exaggaration.
USA: Abolishing Net Neutrality is the worst thing we could do to the Internet!

Net Neutrality is bad for the ISP market. It isn't the worse thing for the internet.
The EU is dying.
ur a dumb ass it's not it's there so people like time wanner and at@tt will not fuck u
It helps large ISPs who have monopolized areas keep their monopolized areas. It prevents new and smaller ISPs from growing and spreading into monopolized areas. Where I live, I don't have Time Warner or ATT, but instead have a selection of smaller ISPs to choose from that don't have very high speeds (we're talking 5mbs for $60). Oh but please keep telling me I'm a dumb ass because I don't agree with the majority.
So single player games with microtransactions to reduce the grind? Cheatengine says no.
until they make it always online with a cheat detection system that bans you from their services if they detect it.
Thus giving people even more incentives to crack the game and be done with it. They can't win this.
You mean like how games already have DRM and we've found ways around it. I mean RE7 was broken in like 4 hours or something. Dark souls is rampant with cheaters and they're actually online at the same time. Single player games that don't require any online activity are easy to break =)
DRMs have cracks to get around that but ,unfortunately, some major titles still don't have cracks years later.

Why wouldn't these companies just pull out of EU countries entirely? See how that goes over. It is easier to not worry about what someone in a tiny country in the EU does than to comply with some arbitrary law. Just block any IPs from EU countries, people will use VPN to bypass that, and then the stupid law is moot and no one has to worry about the stupid EU.
Some companies have done just that because of EU's general data protection regulation that went into effect earlier this year.
Although the law is a good thing for the citizens in a way it also expects ridiculous expectations on a website owner. Some didn't even want to deal with the international law bullshit and update their privacy policies and their systems they just decided to outright ip ban ip ranges that fall within the European Union.
With TH-cam's laziness, it wouldn't shock me if TH-cam just pulled out of EU countries
This what's happens when old people run the EU they do not understand the web
You know that's not the case at all, right? Or at least not completely. These old technologically illiterate farts are merely being bought by greedy corporations who understand the web very well and see it as an opportunity to gain even more power and wealth. There's nothing more to it, just greed.
That's what happens when corporations run the world. Copyright law has always been like this, always getting worse.

Age has nothing to do with it. Unelected people does.
Its like the EU is tyrannical on a fundamental level
now you understand why the brits wanted to jump off the boat with the Brexit?
with Germany and france Ruling the EU with retrograde ideas and faux bullshits about "Union and equality for everyone" when in fact is"Union for us and no equality, but control and hatred for everyone" EU Is fucked.
it not about money, since its the main ruling part, but the good ol politic concepts of "ruling everything as a dictatorship, while faking that is a republic democracy, and making the people feel helpless"
TL;DR the EU wants to control what you want, your thoughts and what you see on media, with the craziest spectrum of media and political leaning dickriding on it to push their own agenda.

@Dr Megaman That is, unfortunately, an objectively wrong statement. There are plenty of people out there who are actually in favour of this bullshit due to their political background and/or personal beliefs.
All of this is backed by TV media to make it as difficult as possible to create interesting content on TH-cam so people start going back to watching TV.
Love you Jim. I listen to your podcast every Friday morning (Australia means that I get it on Fridays) and I every Tuesday like clockwork, here I am for the Jimquisition! You're doing marvelous.
Actually, I am a huge fan of yourself and I completely admire your morals and standing ground. You've just spoken your mind about games and rather than just pander to the crowd - you challenge and stand your ground. Recently I (in a drunken haze I admit) replied to a video of yours regarding The Outer Worlds and Obsidian. Your reply was refreshing - rather than fob me off, or ignore me - you actually replied and stood your ground and gave reasonable responses to my criticisms. May seem to you like "well yeah... duh" but it's actually rare to find an engaging reviewer and ... um Pundit (is that the right word?)
Anyway I realised I enjoy your content and it makes me chuckle and keeps me informed on the goings on in the hilarious industry that is videogames - But I never actually gave you a thing back so Im off to your patreon to contribute to your "crusade" ;)
even the EU, a collection of NUMEROUS countries, is not immune to corporate greed, sad times we live in.
The EU started out as the EEA, ergo a bunch of nations working together to facilitate trade. That is still very much at the core of what the EU is.
The EU is just the fourth reich anyway
The EU is the definition of corporate greed lol.
So media companies are basically shooting themselves in the foot. The free advertising that memes provide are tantamount in making a property recognizeable. The ill-will bred by these measures will actually harm the copyright holders as you can only watch one or two commercials so many times before they make you want to raze the company to the ground after hearing one too many times the dialogue meant to grab your attention.
Axel Kusanagi "I BOUGHT A CAR WITH AN APP" makes me want to smash a fucking sledgehammer into my phone sometimes.
The ads are what make me want to just say fuck it and download whatever I want to watch/play/listen to without hearing another goddamn ad. And also, if I ever want to make money off TH-cam, ads are a bad way to do it. Not only are they annoying, obtrusive and downright strangle worthy, you don't even always get that much money from them depending on views and how many people click on them. Not fucking worth it
If anyone wants evidence of it they can just look to Reddit. A huge number of communities that gets tens or hundreds of thousands of engagements a day of people sharing content from games, shows etc. Advertisers would kill for that kind of reach and people are willing to do it voluntarily.
Advertising via memes is hard to measure. Certainly it's beneficial to a company when they are making them. Wendy's twitter account has likely done a lot to engender good will and therefore foot traffic into their restaurants. But how does something like Bowsette help Nintendo? If they embrace the meme and put some version of her into a game, it'll certainly help sales of that game, but then they're aligning their characters with a more sexualized version of themselves which drifts away from the family-friendly image they cultivate.
Take Flex Tape as an example. Without JonTron making it into a meme, nobody would have known what the hell that is.

Yung Leen I smashed so hard I subscribed my phone into pieces. This is for you, Jim!
The EU governing technology is a giant issue. Just look up the fiasco involving figuring out exactly what the GDPR laws mean and how to implement them.
I didn't understand why all my friends hated Odyssey. I pirated the game and didn't even realize it had microtransactions. Paying customers are having a worse experience than thieves.
Guilty until proven innocent? That's awfully generous, Jim. It's more Assumed Guilty until Declared Guilty, innocence is for corporations, not people.
Doubt it means much, but I really enjoy the stream of consciousness intros / outros. They give insights into the man that is Jim that otherwise only the "Queen's Speech" videos do.
For a couple years back when dinosaurs roamed the earth and THQ was still relevant, Jim did a tribute to the "Queen's Speech"...which I'm assuming from context is the UK's equivalent to the US' "State of the Union", where the video was completely candid. No set, no apparel, no script, just a half-asleep fat guy wearing a stocking cap and talking to a webcam. It's one of the rare times where we got to see Jim shed the Jim Sterling persona and instead be who he is off-camera for a little while.
Those are where I came to respect Jim, because they made it clear that underneath the schtick is someone who genuinely gives a shit about games. They might still be Escapist property or somesuch, I don't see them in the video list here.
And it's why I like the candid, "I forgot what I was going to talk about so I'm just gonna babble for a bit" intro/outro segments...they're more chances to see "behind the mask", as it were.
@Foxden
I don't 100% agree. There is still the occasional innocent person after the judge pronounces them innocent, but that won't stop them from suffering similar penalties to the guilty.
My favourite part of the entire article 11/13 discussion was how the German mainstrem news didn't mention it on the day of the vote. Or during that week. Or at all. Wether or not that Maasen dude was being degraded or promoted or just getting his ass spanked was more important to discuss for 2 entire weeks nonstop. So there was no time to mention actual people related politics.
Well, that right there is exactly why many politicians and corporations do ridiculous shit. Distractions. It's hilarious how frequently and easily people can be distracted from the real issues when given something else to be mad about.
Major news outlets are just as controlled by big corporations. Between scandals generally leading to higher ratings and their desire to prevent people opposing this expansion of power of course it isn't covered.
You just watch. They will get what's coming to them. When the EU implodes, the German institutions will cry tears made of coins and bills and it will be delicious to watch. These institutions have bastardized the EU in the worst way possible. It isn't even amusing to watch as a German, that's how bad it is.
@@FirestormMk3 ya was going to say that the companies looking to gain the most aren't going to report negatively on it
Well that was because germany already has that as a law, it happened a while ago. And two other countries in eu also has this as a law already
So in other words the EU is trying to become the Patriots.
Have u ever experienced how the EU Runs it's just stupid and always pushes the blame to anyone else and never do anything correctly it should just be a Free market not a stupid Government no one listens to like Ireland Refuses to put in Water charges because it is stupid and we pay a Basic Recorces Charge with our bills so the EU is Teresa May that Flails around like a headless Chicken
I think you mean the Democrats. Actual Patriots actually LIKE memes.
The LA-LI-LU-LE-LO..? Oh my god!
One problem with the EU is that some countries hold way more power than others thanks to their size and population, and if those countries are the one that listens to those loud and obnoxious rights-holders, then they are the ones that decide what happens in the EU.
Though to be fair she a headless chicken because she knows either way she wont win if she fucks the Brexit deal and she loses the next election or she gets the deal she wants and she loses the next election because the remainers will vote her out as labour have basically promised if they win an election there will be 2nd referendum whether to stay or go based on the full brexit deal. Great the EU doing what it does best making laws in Brussels then telling all the other nations it has two years to comply how is it not an empire its effectly ruled from Brussels with each client nation having its elected figure head that reports to the president of the EU(which is not elected by any democratic process or vote and he never has competion to his election). I am pretty sure we fought a world war or two to stop that kind of "leadership" in Europe.
Companies that fight fair use are doing it wrong. They are trying to stop free advertising.
yup they are dumb af lol
All about that greed. Make a penny now rather than a dollar later mentality. These are the same people who have the "Save a penny now an spend a dollar later" mentality when it comes to budgeting infrastructure projects or maintenance. You would think these kinds of people have a life expectancy of a gnat.
It's all about those quarterly numbers. I work at a major corporation which became a major corporation by investing in infrastructure and new technology, and getting a leg up on the competition that way. Ten years ago, when I started working there, they were always bragging about that. Now, all I ever see in "corporate news" is people bragging about the latest quarter's profits, or complaining about them not being high enough and coming up with ways to exploit the customers to make up for it. It's disgusting, but it's what the investors demand, and the investors run the companies, not the CEOs.
At this point, I'm just waiting impatiently for my severance package to kick in in a few months.
you know , lazy town not only allowed memes they started making memes too , shows how serious they take the copyright infringement , i never watched lazy town but through the memes i found out its a great show and its really sad the one actor died , same goes for spongebob i never watched that but i have seen memes , now i even like it ( still wont watch it in retrospective tho

One thing a lot of people don't seem to realize is that "fair use" is an american/uk thing. THERE IS NO FAIR USE law in Germany and a lot of other places in the EU.
So in those places MEMES ARE ILLEGAL ALREADY.
It's just that sites and law enforcement agencies currently don't have to act / take the blame unless there's a complaint from the copyright holder.
article 13 aims to change that by switching the blame from the uploader to the host forcing sites to preempt potential complaints concerning ALREADY ILLEGAL material.
i want to make clear that i do not support article 13 and it's a sad state that we do not have fair use laws, but we need to address this properly. this is NOT a fair use issue, because there literally is no fair use.
EU doesn't have fair use, but EU does have copyright limitations.
I don't know any country in the EU that doesn't have copyright exceptions regarding derivative or transformative (parody, caricature, etc) works. In Germany it's called "Freie Benutzung", which directly translates to "free use", and in effect is quite comparable to UK fair use laws (especially since both are part of the single market). France has pretty much the same laws regarding transformative works as Germany does. Spain and Italy can be more lenient or more strict, depending on which judge you run into. And yes, all of these are going to get strangled by the new directive. It's not filling a void, it is making existing legislation more strict.
CandyGrooves if the person is using it in whole or not changing the context then yes, that's illegal. If the work is transformative you aren't taking money from whoever owns what you used. It's more nuanced then people taking stuff and making money off of it.
§ 24 freie benutzung only covers something which could not be confused with the original.
that means using a clip (no matter how short) or even just a picture from copyrighted material unedited is NOT covered by it. (adding a meme text on top is not enough)
german text:
§ 24 Freie Benutzung
(1) Ein selbständiges Werk, das in freier Benutzung des Werkes eines anderen geschaffen worden ist, darf ohne Zustimmung des Urhebers des benutzten Werkes veröffentlicht und verwertet werden.
(2) Absatz 1 gilt nicht für die Benutzung eines Werkes der Musik, durch welche eine Melodie erkennbar dem Werk entnommen und einem neuen Werk zugrunde gelegt wird. [3]
„In Übereinstimmung mit dem geltenden Recht (§ 13 LUG, § 16 KUG) sieht der Entwurf vor, daß abweichend von der Regelung in § 23 ein in Anlehnung an ein anderes Werk geschaffenes Werk dann ohne Zustimmung des Urhebers des benutzten Werkes veröffentlicht oder verwertet werden darf, wenn es sich von der Vorlage so weit gelöst hat, daß es als eine VÖLLIG SELBSTSTÄNDIGE NEUSCHÖPFUNG anzusehen ist (freie Benutzung).“[2]
Our Fair Use also says it needs to be critique or a "transformative work" as well, not just identical as in the context of serving as a replacement (that's the no-no.) So the point where something becomes a "transformative work" or not is still up for debate, just like here. +Shisaye
Thanks for the video Jim! Always been confused on this topic!
Fantastic episode Jim. The internet has some troublesome times ahead. People need to be reminded often. Apathy is another issue. People get riled up then forget by the end of the week.
These articles would achieve EXACTLY what they're intended to, Jim. They're vague waffle intended to give corporations massive power over IP (whether their own or not, probably), by being as nebulous and non-specific as possible. They're not MEANT to clarify, they're meant to reserve as many options as possible for the politicians' true constituents. They don't want independent news outlets contesting or referencing their articles, they don't want reviewers to review things without permission/licensing, etc etc, they want to monetize and control everything, and this is a step in that direction.
The internet SCARES these people, they've been fighting to get a handle on things for over a decade by now.
This is how the age of Inforation Ends. In a wave of Copyright

I have soo tweeted this out. Thanks for covering this!!!
Lol the EU trying to ban memes but Disney made the EU non-canon when they bought Star Wars.
eu tries to ban memes
becomes a meme in the process
proceeds to ban itself
Underrated
What a burn
Oh fuck, I thought Jim was coming to debunk all the hype, because I never bothered to read the actual content of the articles, I was just on the meme train. You're telling me the fear hype is real? Well *FtheEU!*
So basically Brexit is starting to make sense...
You must be living under a rock or something. The EU has been punishing and hunting down people for "mean twits, and memes" for YEARS now. Hell, they're trying to the same thing in the US now.
Ignorance is bliss
Wtf I love brexit now
lmfao @ "theyre trying to do the same thing in the US now"
you people live in a fantasy realm
Government creating a set of laws that are, at best, short sighted and crippling, and at worst, authoritarian and controlling, somehow ends up be a discussion with the following message...
"private business is evil"
Corporate lobbying should be illegal. They literally pay people thousands of dollars a year to go spin lies to the government. How can Johnny Regular even compete?
It's almost like it's orchestrated. Not sure if giving people too much credit, or if I'm cynical enough...
Well aside from the fact that this is a corporate fight vs other corporations, Regular Joe has unions which are much less restricted in giving money than corporations.
J A Well, who do the laws benefit? Corporations. Who benefits when corporations benefit? Politicians who get money from those corporations for doing what they tell them to do. The government may be setting the laws, but unchecked corporate greed is still the heart of the issue
Since you don't seem to understand the basic principles of cause and effect, let me connect the dots for you. The EU (read collection of government representatives cooperating on promoting and supporting free trade by introducing laws, regulations and standards) makes laws, influenced by lobbyists, that infringe on fair use laws and make copyright law more powerful. Companies who are known to already abuse these laws (for example, see all the bullshit that has been pulled on TH-cam with false copyright claims) are now given even more options and legal justification to do so. It's not a censorship law; it's a copyright law. There's only one party in this discussion that stands to gain anything significant from this ruling.
To ban memes...
is to ban the exchange of culture. ~Me, 2018
Hey, that's pretty good
Great video, Jim. Very engaging and educational (those are always two good things to put together).
As for your "non-scripted" bits:
Personally, I like them. I'm a very "off the cuff" guy, myself and I enjoy other people of that mindset, like yourself. I hope you keep the intros and outros that way.
Nothing wrong with a bit of spontaneity, even if it lends to a random tangent, here and there. It's good to go off script once and awhile. It helps things feel more "real" and engaging. Because, in truth, we aren't just words on a piece of paper. We, as people, are full of random thoughts and feelings, and it's good to show that from time to time :)

People are blind to it, the media makes sure that we see what they want us see and then in what light we see it in.
Society as a whole dictates what we see as terrible as profane and what is completely acceptable. It's appalling just how often those descriptors seem misplaced or even merely switched around. People have become insulated to the truth.

Remember Jim Sterling? He's back. In POG form!
I don’t know what’s more upsetting...
the fact that you did a shameless Simpson’s reference from 45 years ago,
Or the fact that, I not only recognize the reference, But know the exact episode it is from and the context in which the quote is said.
Um... you guys do know that there are two types of laws in the EU, right? The regulation is direct legislature that impacts all member states, is passed by EU government and has clear wording. The directive is meant to be a common guideline that points to the desired result, while member states have to pass their own laws in accordance with it. It's meant to have vague wording to give different countries room to maneuver. For example, Spain and Finland could pass very different laws in accordance with the directive.
Now, this particular directive is very scummy. However, restrictive legislature like this is drawn up all the time and usually fails due to public pressure. Remember, the average european is much more politically active. And I mean about real politics carried out by their representatives, not "agendas" or whatever ephemeral stuff is blown out of proportion in the US. So I'm certain this will not pass.
Shadurak- Exactly! But this stupid shit EU is doing can just fuck right off. Like EU shod be trying it's FUCKING best to look as good as possible while UK leaves EU. I mean there is enuf bad about them that there are actual people that like to quit EU together with UK. (minority of people in countries that is)
But to get internet to hate EU? Ooooffff!!!! Not a good ide......
It will pass most certainly. Don't kid yourself, nobody really cares about this but YT content creators. People are concerned about elections or exuberant imimigration rather than copyright law.
He said that in the beginning of the video...
@@skagrin Except there is a specific precedent about a restrictive copyright legislature being taken down by public pressure - ACTA around 8 years ago. Shit like this directive just doesn't fly in Europe.
lol as an american i would LOVE to get butthurt at that statement, but i couldn't poke a hole in that argument with a lightsaber... i think i'll go force-push an ideology until i feel relevant 8D
Regulations are needed at times. Yet here is another example when regulations go to far. Regulations should be their to protect citizens/consumers. This is not de wey.
European is govermentally very left leaning very pro-goverment (not trying to lecture just remaking) an become to big to handle itself (also very corruptable) that's why the right rather free-market (the central to mid-central the alt is pro government to), the problem is keeping the balance. USA use a system of gridlocks between every branch so no-one overstep the other and not change the governments fundamentals but as far i now EU don't have such limitations and the lack armed citizens don't scare government to overstep it's population if needed.
@@goa141no6 While we lack armed citizens (fortunately we don't live in fear of the trigger happy dimwit neighbour), we do have proficient media and semi-efficient courts and judges to keep politicians in check. Journalists couldn't care less if they hurt they feely feelings. Truth is paramount.
Also, this is not regulation. This is a directive and one that still needs approval. It won't become law.
@@joelnogueira7692 I see european countries freedoom become thinner every year and some governments are literally big watching brother (just look at UK internet police plus constant baning), immigrant assimilation aren't going that well, schools has more propaganda every day.
Side note:
USA shootings aren't as much as the news say (also Europeans and American news are heavily bias) is a problem in the registration
Example:
School suicide count as school shooting, the other are in ghetto style neighborhood or by disturbed people who is not receiving proper treatment and are already reported as disturbed (which legally they can't posses guns, their guns are take away but i doesn't work anyway).
Another example is Mexico, is a disarmed country while having a big amount of real shootings and deaths every year regardless of heavy gun regulations.

How would the passing of these laws be beneficial to anyone? All content and works are derived off of others and inspirations alike. You can't just ban ideas built upon others, it's how society works.
You are denying creativity from people if everything requires royalties and explicit permission. You cannot ignore fair use.
That's politics for you. Let's make a law about a subject we barely understand or don't personally care about and therefore don't know how to resolve. Let others figure something out by writing something up that could mean absolutely anything and everything all at once. In a few years a court will then set a precedent on what it actually means or just overturn it entirely. And then those shitheads have the gall to expect a salary with five million benefits, tax exceptions, medical bill reimbursements and even pocket money for just showing up at work in the tens of thousands of Euroes per month. That's the European Parliament in a nutshell.

Thing is, this could potentially affect everyone. Websites usually apply the same laws for countries across the board because it's easier. Unless TH-cam/Facebook/Reddit/etc ban EU countries (I don't think that would happen...can it? O.o) these things would apply to people outside of the EU :/
@@DatGrunt I agree, but that's kind of its inherent problem. Why should a non-democratic body have so much power? I can't blame the leavers, honestly.

Potentially, TH-cam is lazy. At the same time there are videos that come up, only for it to say that it's not available in my country. So they already do some segmented stuff.

So many people do that thing you quite rightly mock at the beginning. And my thought is always the same - SHUT UP BITCH DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO! So thank you for that Jim. I truly appreciate it.
Great video as usual and Jesus this could have a gigantic impact. There's just one thing that it doesn't really address: does anyone know a video that thoroughly explains why the EU is doing this? I mean, there must be a thought behind it right? Why do they go through all this hassle? Is there corporate pressure? Or something else behind it? I'd love to understand that side of the story!
As far as I have heard it's the press pushing this. It appearantly started with them trying to get the text snippets of their articles away from the Google News search page, because that reveals part of the copyright protected content.
Not 100% sure this is the full story, but I read this version multiple times.
Mark Bouwman Power and money. They're a bunch of unelected politicians more loyal to the EU than their own citizens.
Ohh interesting @remem95, thanks! That would make sense. The media companies owning (digital) news formats have a lot of money and political power, and the EU parliament is about as tech savvy as... well.. any government. So this might be their inadequate and uninformed reaction to a specific (maybe sort of legally valid?) complaint to the media companies? I mean, if people aren't reading your (digital) newspapers because you can look them up in google searches, it's understandable that you'd at least take some sort of action
@pocketfish22 yeah that's my suspicion too but i wondered if there was any proof to this, like stories of lobbyists and such
It goes deeper. Certain groups of the ruling class fear the internet. It's the one platform they do not control and many of the globalist's plans are laid bare open repeatedly over the internet. Truth's and half-truth's nobody is supposed to hear spread like wildfire. People of all alignments and walks of life are free to distribute knowledge, skepticism and skills in mass.
Naturally, the "arbiter of truths" who wish to control what the masses think on a large scale hate such a construct. It runs counter to everything they are trying to establish.
There is no point to ruling the mainstream media when people can find alternative sources of information online.
There is no point to controlling and framing "the debate" (of any given topic really) when the counter-evidence to all of it is a few clicks away on google.
There is no point in maintaining a narrative when the target group can just disrupt that narrative repeatedly and spread displays of such disruption publicly.
And finally there is no point in publicly shaming opponents of these manipulations (think Kanye West, Kavanaugh, Trump, etc.) when the same people are celebrated as martyrs on the public internet.
This is an old age battle given a new coating. It's enlightenment versus religion, free thinking for everyone versus the absolute control of all knowledge by the ruling class.
This is why this matters! WE MUST NOT LOSE! If the internet falls, we might enter another dark age.

@@Phourc No Xenophobia at least for the most part, there is minorities of course that were xenophobic but immigration is a big issue with the EU and the UK especially which is why it was such a hot topic of debate for Brexit. Dismissing any issue people have for immigration as xenophobia is ridiculous. In fact for the most part people want immigration who voted for Brexit, I know I am and many of the other people I know are but it has to be fair and sensible.
I mean, yeah immigration is a complicated issue. But this wasn't a push for fair and considered immigration reform, this was much more along the lines of people shouting "build that wall!" at Trump rallies.

Copyright has always been about controlling the spread of culture.
Originally it was about protecting technical designs and unique inventions, scientists used to have to write intentional flaws in all of their work so that any spy who steals their design notes will produce something shit that doesn't work.
