Right. And we (the mods and admins) keep the privilege to remove it if we get into any copyright-related trouble.
Careful, you are coming across as the evil man.

Speaking as one who exists in the EU(SSR), nuking Brusselstan would have been a most fitting way to mark the day................
Discussions about the EU are best done on FB. Not here please.
When you rail and rant against the EU, you have acquired the wrong target. This whole copyright stuff was pushed through because of enormous pressure (and lobbying) by publishing corporations, especially the big newspaper conglomerates, who could no longer suffer to bear that any of their content could be read without being (expensively) paid for - aimed primarily, but not exclusively, at Google. That Joe Q. Public might get trampled by that was irrelevant, it doesn't impact their dividends or bonuses. It may be our bad luck that the internet community isn't a significant enough pressure group to counteract the big corporations, especially since they can push their views in their own media. But first let's see how this works out in practice, especially after the courts had their say about the consequences.
BTW, the corporations who shouted loudest about being ripped off by the "lawless internet" are probably the same who scream blue murder and "freedom of the press" when they are forbidden to publish pictures of princesses without knickers.

We're hardly affected by this law, so no rant is necessary. It's clearly aimed at the big ones, Facebook and Google and the like.
Guys, let it go. If we get complains, we'll comply. For the rest, stick to the rules we've set and everybody will be okay.
