EU is voting on 'dysfunctional' copyright proposal October 10 - TNW

Mom says I'll be better soon.

Panzer thought you might like to read some interesting news he discovered earlier this week before he got too sick to travel.

On a trip into the Catosphere our kitty boy stopped in at The Next Web (TNW) site. There he found a post about the European Union's (EU) proposal to make changes to the copyright law.

The post by Mar Masson Maack extensively quotes and uses information provided by Mozilla executive Raegan MacDonald. According to the post the copyright proposal would make open platforms responsible for what users post. This means platforms would have to filter and monitor every user's posts and uploads, or run the risk of being sued. Another portion of the copyright proposal would prohibit the use of a headline and quotes from a news site without a license from the publisher. Included at the end of the post is a link to Mozilla's "Call Tool" to contact the European Parliament.

Panzer says, "If this proposal passes, this little kitty wouldn't have as much information and news from EU countries for you."

Note: This is a h-u-m-o-n-g-o-u-s post. There are several links to other posts and sites included in the post. Bring a thermos of tea, a dozen cookies, half dozen muffins and a sleeping bag for a nap in the middle for today's reading selection.
