Reply To: EU link tax – Article 13

[bubbles15Participant 2308xp 0]

Large content producers and old media groups got together and decided they wanted the traffic going to smaller sites, bought legislation from the EU to tax links to their sites.

It’s an absurd, unworkable, idiotic bit of legislation. There’s also no point asking your MEP to intervene. Despite the hype, law comes form the Commission. If the Commission wants it made law (and as the intent has been bought and paid for), europarl is just a convenient farce.

It’s just another attempt to pervert the web to suit a group who are frightened of losing control.
