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.

    I continue to find it strange how people who claim the Earth is shaped somehow differently than the scientific consensus, have this remarkable difficulty in describing what the actual shape of Earth is. It's got to have a shape, right? So what is that shape?
