“Cecilia Djurberg if the new EU directive that was voted through yesterday.”
“This is a kulturartikel which is a part of Aftonbladet’s opinionsjournalistik.”
“The new EU directive to protect copyright on the internet have which has now been approved in the EU parliament. The debate has been loud, with the occasional conspiratorial exchanges.”
“agree Formally the directive through only after it received the green light in the council of ministers, but several interest groups for meme-makers and the media cried quickly alleluia after the announcement. Now they believe that copyright holders should get paid fairly for their material.”
“the Opponents, which consists of vocal internet activists and techbolag, is convinced that the so-called DSM-directive means the end of the internet. I have hard to believe, because the technology will always find ways around the obstacles. But the internet as we know it will have to change. Which does not have to be bad, then the network’s current infrastructure rather designed by market interest than of democratic ideals.”
“it is no secret that nätjättarna Google (which owns Youtube and Android), Facebook (which owns Instagram and Whatsapp) and Apple compete to dominate the internet. Many users also gives them the voluntary power to control the provision of information and pay happily with his user data. The information is either entirely free or free on these platforms, so the freedom as it makes the opponent defends is partly an illusion.”
“Against the disadvantages of upphovsrättsdirektivets limitations of nätkulturen thus set a positive opening for new network services with smarter terms and conditions for both users and copyright holders to develop and challenge nätjättarna.”
