A crucial vote is coming up later this month in the EU's move to change its copyright laws. The proposed plans included mandatory content filters and a so-called link tax to be paid by sites linking to other sites, articles 13 and 11 respectively. TorrentFreak writes about the current status of the legislation and of the deadline to fix or block the proposed EU copyright legislation is coming up quickly and time is running out to salvage the situation regarding rules which will drastically affect the Internet.

And freeways to everyone's garage!
And a full grocery warehouse in every street!
And a dam in every backyard (water AND power!)
No need for infrastructure providers! If you van pay, you can have it all!
What, you're NOT a billionaire? You want water, power, sewerage and internet, but you see them as being somehow different?

we should have gardens in every yard or at least in every neighborhood.
we should have solar or nano nuke power plants in every house or neighborhood.
we should have redundant, decentralized, federated, anonymous internet.
tweaking regulation is not good enough. we need to replace the whole system of serfdom. that would mean people would have to quit being ignorant moorons though.
