Clueless twats. I will look up all who voted for this farce and let them know individually it will haunt them for the rest of their political career.
No forgiveness for kneecapping free expression in return for some lobbyist euros and pretending it protects artists.
And to the artists who were dumb enough to believe it: if your art wasn't mediocre you wouldn't have any trouble drawing the attention of the copyright industry, as they are always looking for something new to milk. So you traded off a big break that won't happen anyway for the collective right to free expression of the entire Union. Good job, you utter tossers.
