Massive Bedenken gegen EU-Pläne für eine Urheberrechtsreform (Massive concerns about EU plans for copyright reform)

Summary:

From Google's English: 

"The European Parliament is currently preparing a copyright reform that could have a significant impact on the everyday behavior of internet users. Conservatives want to introduce a very strict copyright, which includes, for example, an ancillary copyright. So even the description of external content could be banned. For critics such as the MEP Julia Reda (pirates) that would be an "attack on hyperlinks", which limits the freedom of the press.

Wikipedia warned that their operation could be subject to the rules. The same is true for open source platforms that regularly load code snippets. Even science portals would have to monitor user content increasingly in the future. In addition, network activists fear the creation of a surveillance machine as the planned filters monitor the activity of millions of users in real time. They could be misused for political purposes, for example, by screening political statements, logos or slogans instead of copyrighted material. The upload filters are, according to critics, in direct contradiction to other passages in EU law that prohibit the permanent observation of users. Organizations such as Human Rights Watch and Reporters Without Borders warned that the upload filters "limit the freedom to distribute and receive information."
