Kommentar: RE: 20190323 Save your internet!

As far as I am aware, the Article 13 only applies to commercial providers. That would mean that providers of alternative social networks, such as #diaspora pods, are not affected as long as they don't pursue a commercial interest. I could even imagine that, with Article 13 in effect, more people are switching to alternative social networks with non-profit background to host their content. That would be even good news for diaspora

Looking at your pod, it seems a lot of comments went missing. Weird. Here (https://pod.diaspora.software/posts/550bfd800f9b0137b76e5254001bd39e) is the full history - including comments explaining why the exceptions are a joke.

"That’s a common excuse, and while it’s legally valid, it misses some points. As soon as a podmin receives a single cent donation, and is not explicitly recognized as a non-profit org by their local tax authorities, this single cent "donation" is a legally relevant financial transaction, and by definition, that pod would be for-profit.
and telling people to talk to their lawyer on both threads.

"falsch und gefährlich", so nennt Ulrich Kelber (SPD) Uploadfilter. Er muss es wissen - schließlich ist er Bundesdatenschutzbeauftragter. Die Filter bedrohen den freien Austausch von Meinungen und Kultur im Internet. Schon am Dienstag stimmt das Europaparlament über die EU-Urheberrechtsreform ab. Eine Folge von Artikel 13 der Reform wären Uploadfilter. Europaweit gehen deshalb am Samstag Tausende Menschen dagegen auf die Straße - auch in Berlin.
Der Protest ist dringend nötig - denn Uploadfilter sind eine Gefahr für das freie Internet: Sie prüfen alle hochgeladenen Videos, Fotos, Musik und Texte darauf, ob sie urheberrechtlich geschützt sind. Das klingt harmlos, ist es aber nicht. Die geplante Reform könnte zu einer "fehleranfälligen und grundrechtswidrigen Vorzensur im Internet" führen, warnte die Süddeutsche Zeitung.
Damit die Proteste bei den Europaabgeordneten Eindruck machen, müssen sie überall in Europa weiterhin groß sein. ...

Article 13's aftermath
On Tuesday the European Parliament in Strasbourg voted to approve the Copyright Directive including the highly controversial Article 13. This happened despite millions of people like you voicing their opposition online and in the streets.
Our movement made a difference. A preliminary vote to consider amendments, including Article 13, lost by just 5 votes. Later that day a sufficient number of Members of European Parliament (MEPs) said they pressed the wrong button to have changed the outcome and given Article 13 its own vote. Maddeningly, the correction does not undo the final vote of approval on the overall law.
If copyright filters go ahead, large numbers of mistaken takedowns will impact what we do and say online. The EU Parliament has made a serious error of judgement here.
Leaving the European Union will not shield us from the impact of the Copyright Directive, so we will go on doing everything we can to stop this being the disaster it promises to be.
Our strategy and tactics will change after Brexit. UK MEPs will no longer exist, but new avenues of action will be possible including legal challenges. We will also fight this proposal when it comes to the UK in future legislation.
You can count on us to keep you informed as we continue the fight to protect free expression online. We hope you’ll join us at our London conference ORGCon this July where we’ll put our minds together to forge the way forward.
