With the vote for Article 13 and Article 11 coming closer and closer, and so little support and awareness for it, things don’t look so good.
I have loved showing my builds to all 290 of you and never expected to get such good feedback from what I made. But with the new law imminent, it may be illegal to do this as I don’t own the sims.
If the law passes, I might not be able to say goodbye to you all and thank you for the past few months and all the nice comments and conversations I’ve had with you. Thank you all so much!
Now with the sad part out, the vote isn’t over yet, you can still try to put up a fight by going to savetheinternet.info for more info and for the petition and saveyourinternet.eu to contact your local MEP and tell them to stop! Even reblogging to spread awareness can help!
Article 13 is going to make it illegal to post any copyrighted material which means no fan art, fanfictions, remixes, parodies, let’s plays, Simblrs and more if the law goes ahead as it says it will.
Article 11 will make it so you have to pay to link news articles. How will people back up claims or link sources for essays without paying?
If you are in America this does affect you as all of your favourite European creators will dissapear off of the face of the internet just like I will if this law is made.
And just incase you don’t believe me, even wikepedia are worried!
Re blogging because both of these were both approved today again.
this could really happen since they had voted for it :o)
pls help all of us in the eu, like we helped all you americans when the shit storm that was net neutrality was happening. my dash was full of reblogs of that but it seems like none of y’all give a shit about what we’re going through bc you don’t think it concerns you: it does
if this happens it means no fan art, fanfictions, remixes, parodies, let’s plays, Simblrs and more. help us out by reblogging and spreading awareness
Just in case I can’t say goodbye because of this, it was great to be with you all this time.
I love you ❤❤
This needs a lot more reblogs! We need to spread the word, because some people don’t even now about this yet! This will affect America, my fellow Americans. Don’t think it doesn’t. They are voting for this law.
The vote isn’t over yet, which means we still have time! Sign the petition and contact your MEP!
To my friends in the EU, I’ll do everything I can to spread awareness. I’ve signed the petition as well.
