You may have heard about the efforts in Europe to reform copyright law. The debate has been ongoing in the European Parliament for months. If approved next week, these new regulations would require us to automatically filter and block content that you upload without meaningful consideration of your right to free expression. 

We respect the copyrights and trademarks of others, and we take all reports seriously to ensure that your creative expression is protected. We make this clear in our Community Guidelines. There’s already a legal framework that works and is fair: Today we take down posts and media that contain allegedly infringing content when we receive a valid DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) takedown request. We also provide clear-cut ways for people to fight back if they believe their removed content was not a true violation. These instances are monitored and reported and live in our biannual transparency report. 

The suggestion to use automated filters for issues of copyright is short-sighted at best and harmful at worst. Automated filters are unable to determine whether a use should be considered “fair use” under the law and are unable to determine whether a use is authorized by a license agreement. They are unable to distinguish legitimate parody, satire, or even your own personal pictures that could be matched with similar photographs that have been protected by someone else. We don’t believe that technology should replace human judgment.

Tumblr is and always has been a place for creative expression, and these new regulations would only make it harder for you to express yourself with the freedom and clarity you do so now. 

If you access Tumblr from Europe and want to act, you can find more information on saveyourinternet.eu. 

Please reblog this as much as you reblogged the posts about Net Neutrality. 

If Article 13 is approved, European People might be basically banned from uploading any fan content. 

You won’t get new fanfics from people in Europe.

You won’t get new gifs from people in Europe.

You won’t get new fanart from people in Europe.

Because they’ll be automatically filtered and blocked!

We might leave Tumblr and other fandom pages.

And if we’re getting all our content blocked? 

You might lose some of your favourite followers/mutuals.

You might not get to read the rest of that fic you’re dying to read – simply because the writer lives in the wrong country.

So do whatever you can to help us stop this.

Reblog this.

CONTACT YOUR REPRESENTATIVES TO TELL THEM YOU DON’T WANT ARTICLE 13 TO BE APPROVED IF YOU’RE EUROPEAN! DO IT VIA THE HOMEPAGE

 ANGER MANAGEMENT AHAHAHAHAHAHA

Yut Lung: Really now, those subordinates are utterly useless. None of them can find Ash’s whereabouts.

(Useless?? Ahhhh a lot of them died already??? Dude how many subordinates you have?? So many you don’t mind a lot of them died?? HOLY FUCK.)

Blanca: Master Yut Lung, please don’t feel/be so irritated. Soon it will be dinner time. Would you like to have fish dishes? It’s full/abundance of nutrition/nourishment and it can also lessen/calm down irritation.

Yut Lung: Hold up there Mister. When did I ever said/mentioned that I was feeling irritated?

(Chill dude. Blanca passed high on psychology, so he’s somewhat a psychiatrist too. Big daddy knows his shits. Yut Lung should have known that lol)

Blanca: Oh my, that was rude of me. Well then, how about if we do things like muscle training together? Anger management also seems quite effective.

(Okay at this point, I don’t know if he’s just teasing Yut Lung or really doing some mind digging on him LOL. ANGER MANAGEMENT AHAHAHAHAHA)

Yut Lung: Seriously now, did I ever even said/mentioned that I was feeling irritated?!

Blanca: Next time on Banana Fish, “The Undefeated.” (straight translation; a person who is not defeated/undefeated person)

Yut Lung: Unbelievable! Treating people like they’re hysterical!

(Well, you always seem like it. *runs*)

@coba-banana2 Thank you as always!

Changes may be made for satisfactory.
