The EU has today passed new pro-big business copyright laws which will lead to censorship on a huge scale. Just linking to news articles on forums such as this will become impossible. 

 

Jimmy Wales, founder of Wikipedia: "The free and open internet is being quickly handed over to corporate giants at the expense of ordinary people. This is not about helping artists, it is about empowering monopolistic practices.”

 

The EU doing what it does best, empowering big business at our expense.

It will be able to operate - just not host copyrighted material without payments to the people who hold the copyright.

The EU - empowering big business and the rich but giving 'blocked access' to the little people.
