The End is Nigh... (Article 13)

[DrPerplexion]

You may know this by now, but the EU's Article 13 is putting SmashBoards and the entire internet in jeopardy. Due to very vague legal wording, media companies could very well abuse these copyright laws and could cause the collapse of the individual content creator. The video made by MatPat from Game Theory explains in depth below. Thank You for reading, and help #SaveYourInternet.

A MatPat video may not be the best evidence. Does anyone take him seriously?

In any case, I wouldn't say the whole internet, but good luck if you live in Europe.

I mostly just watch him for fun, but he has some good theories. (That's just a theory, a YOUTUBE theory)

The fact I'm fairly certain he got time dilation backwards doesn't help his credibility certainly, but, yes, he can be entertaining.

It’s a stupid article

It’s only Europe exclusive and very likely to not affect YouTube as much as we think

And besides, wouldn't be the first time some uppity little ****s tried to control the internet which has proven time and time again to be nigh uncontrollable.

He also grasps at straws for connections, such as tiny details or something random in the script.

Only effective in Europe. MatPat is the laughingstock of gaming personalities. Do you really think this is going to be an issue?

Plus I recall most of videos we have Ben using including the music all made by USA people

And this is not there first pitch for this these usually fail regardless

Usually you tubers and media takes it too far and trick you into thinking it’s a big deal when it’s not really.

Matpat haters are just sad

Dude is awesome and puts a lot of work into what he does

Still doesn't mean what he says should be taken seriously. He may have even admitted as much himself.

As a European it could affect Youtube a lot. It depend on how the new bot will work. From what I've heard they will strike any video that they have doubt about. Copyright already make problem with video being claim for 2 sec of music being "owned" by people that don't even own the music. Just wait to see

 

[Smashoperatingbuddy123]

Only things with videos that invovle stuff made by Europeon directors is probably what’s gets affect

As a recall correct the stuff we have Ben using not made by europeons

Like Arthur said, he may spend time but it isn't completely correct most of the time. (I watch him though, and i don't hate him on any degree. I also watch GTLive)
