As you hopefully know, in a few weeks, EU Parliament will vote for new copyright laws.

These new laws/directives (especially its most controversial component, Article 13) will change the whole internet as we know today. It would require online platforms to filter or remove all copyrighted material from their websites (during the upload!). With Article 13, the online platforms and aggregator sites are now liable for copyright infringement.

How will the network handle these legal directives when ratified, and how will the network make sure no copyright protected content (code, images, text) is uploaded?

For reference:

What is Article 13?

What is Article 13 and how it will change copyright (on Twitch, with Co-Founder Emmett Shear)?

Update: I read in the comments and in an answer:

today, when you are posting content on Stack Overflow, you post it under the CC-By-SA license, which appears to be somewhat guarded against this

You should think differently. What would happen, when I post the Windows source code (as example), and the platform is now fully liable? Same for all posted images (also the profile picture).

The problem is, the platform must ensure, that no copyright-protected material can be uploaded to the platform (when the platform does not have a licence before upload).

In Germany are many protests against Article 13, because this directive is not realizable. see https://savetheinternet.info/

In less than a month, the European Parliament will not only decide on a new #copyright law, but also on the future of the free and open #internet: If you are from the European Union, get active now, go to https://pledge2019.eu and ask your representative to #SaveYourInternet.
