A new copyright law from the European Union would lead to the banning of memes on the internet, campaigners are warning.
The EU Copyright Directive intends to protect the intellectual property rights of people who upload their material to the internet.
However, campaigners are warning the law will require “all content uploaded to the internet to be monitored and potentially deleted if a likeness to existing copyright is protected”.
The campaign against a particular provision of the directive, Article 13, warns that online platforms would be economically damaged if they were forced to comply with its expensive obligations.
The law would “destroy the internet as we know it” warn the campaigners, who add it would “allow big companies to control what we see and do online”.
Essentially, the campaigners are arguing the stringent copyright protections of Article 13 would damage the sharing of parody content and memes which, while themselves being original and creative works, are often developed from other people’s original content.

” I cant think of a time when you could not find more than a dozen armed conflicts going on at any time.”
China has apparently attacked Viet Nam several times since the late seventies over the Spratly Islands. I had no idea and I think it never hit the news. Apparently, satellite photos show that China is preparing to do this again to force VN to give up their claim and occupation of 21 islands that sit on an ocean of oil. One of these conflicts cost VN 22,000 soldiers. You’d think somebody would put this in the news, but no.
I’ll bet Elvis stole/plagarized that meme, when he formed his own.
HAHAHA! That is sooooooooooo bad, it’s good!
I wonder how many people see the logo on the wall behind Oswald. Its terrible, but kinda funny.
I totally agree. Furthermore, we won the Cold War militarily and diplomatically but we lost it domestically as our nation has swung left and is festering with leftism.
That is a feature, not a bug.
The banning of memes.
From the same group that has a FIVE HUNDRED PAGE CONSTITUTION.
Might be a few umbrae, penumbras and antumbras hidden in there?
“Thank you Dallas; Good Night!”
LOL. Best of luck with that, buckos.
>You really cant say that until the last chapter in history is written. And we don’t keep peace or defeat evil in the world without some cost (usually in blood).<<
Yes, you are of course correct. And the new “populist” (i.e. freedom) movement shows hope.
I think it is the embrace of fascism in the EU that besmirches those deaths.
But reading this kind of news always deeply saddens me.
Please take this from complete ignorance.
Is that part about turning in Jews truth and not just an urban legend? I can’t verify on snopes any more since they are no longer a valid source (were they ever?) of validation.
I have found that if a tidbit is just too good to be true it is because it is.
If someone could get me a link backing that up it would be a great favor.
Thanks!

Ha! I missed that until you pointed it out. I just put on California Uber Alles in response. Guess with Moonbeam back, that song is apropos.
I would also like to mention that I have actually been to Oswald’s grave. Not intentionally however. A friend of my ex-girlfriend happened to buy the grave next to Oswald’s. My ex’s friend is still alive and lives in NYC, but has a head stone labeled “Nick Beef” in Ft. Worth. We were in Ft. Worth for my grandparent’s 60th anniversary. He was a captain for American Airlines and moved there in the late 70s. So we decided to check out the headstones.
Bloggers tend to make up stuff when the reality is bad enough to stand on its own.
Here’s the full ‘60 Minutes’ interview with Soros’ admissions:

A friend of mine lived there in Handley next to the cemetery. We walked over there one night after several rounds of booze looking for the grave. Never did find it.
