A European parliament committee has voted in favour of the Copyright Directive, leaving tech giants like Google, Microsoft and Amazon in the lurch over publication rights.
The directive will force online publications to pay a portion of their revenues to publishers, and take on full responsibility for any copyright infringement on the internet.
As a result, any service that allows users to post text, sound, or video for public consumption must also implement an automatic filter to scan for similarities to known copyrighted works, censoring those that match.
The vote passed by the legal affairs committee is likely to be taken as the political body's official line during further EU negotiations next month, unless a new vote is forced by lawmakers appealing the decision.

Prevert! You probably work for one of the child prisons detaining children for the Trump pedophile conspiracy in the unused Walmarts!
Oh my god, the Cosmic Ping-pong Pizza thing was pure projection! And who would you expect to be pedophiles if not Steve Bannon, Steven Miller, Steve Stevenson, and Steve, the ICE agent in charge of separating children from their families, because, you know, wink wink, the law requires it! OMG!
