Hyperlink Taxation without Representation - MrChips - 05-23-2022 If you've been asking yourself "who's behind this push for the link tax?" look no further than giant publishing houses and their lobbyists hoping to become like the next generation of record labels. But how are they framing their bid for more copyright control? Read on to find out.  Record labels 2.0: how publishing giants are framing their push for the link tax  https://openmedia.org/en/record-labels-20-how-publishing-giants-are-framing-their-push-link-tax   The EU ââ¬Ëattack on the hyperlinkââ¬â¢. Whatââ¬â¢s it all about?  The idea is about ancillary copyright. What that means is that a link you make to material that may be under copyright, like an article on CluckZ, is, itself, subject to copyright.  Under ancillary copyright, a person who links to this CluckZ article could be pursued for violating CluckZââ¬â¢s copyright.  https://www.clickz.com/2015/11/11/the-eu-attack-on-the-hyperlink-whats-it-all-about  According to the leaked draft, copyright holders are concerned about their content being monetised by others, without licensing, through content aggregation. This is where a rights holder or creator releases their own content online, which is then aggregated by a third party, re-packaged and re-sold.  Under the existing interpretation of the right of communication to the public, if a work has been made available online, linking to it does not expose it to new audiences, so the right remains intact and linking is not an infringement. But the commission proposes to overhaul these rules in order to harmonise them across the EU now that some member states have tried to solve this issue on their own.  http://theconversation.com/no-the-eu-is-not-going-to-make-hyperlinks-illegal-50484  Hyperlink At Your Own Risk  Hyperlinks are inserted into a Web site by the site's owner, who can create the link without the assistance of the owner of the linked-to site. Under standard "netiquette," such links are added without the permission of the linked site. Such is the case, in part, because the link benefits the linked site by bringing it additional viewers.  Recently, however, a series of lawsuits have drawn into doubt the continued viability of this practice. These suits are driven by a number of concerns, principal among them is the advertising potential of the Web. Advertisers are willing to post ads based on the traffic and number of viewers attracted to a site.  http://www.internetlibrary.com/publications/hayor_art.cfm  EU Commission continues slow march towards innovation-killing link tax  Now that the EU Commission has opened a new consultation on ancillary copyright, they're looking to justify the need for the link tax. Read Ruth's take on Günther H. Oettinger's speech in Brussels this evening.  https://openmedia.org/en/eu-commission-continues-slow-march-towards-innovation-killing-link-tax  Tell the European Commission NOW: Censoring links breaks the Internet  https://savethelink.org/      All those links from the above cut and paste would now be subject to tax.  :chicken_pox-3582: :Fart5:   Hyperlink Taxation without Representation - Guest - 05-23-2022 Sheeit! Record producers. Now why doesn't that surprise me. IDK, maybe cuz its the greed and glitz and all that gloating consumption. Along with old Hollywood casting a visual spell of illusion to trick the minds of the people into paying a taxes for every little quantifiable thing. Sucking the little dude dry with a swarm of mosquitoes....Sound, light, and action!   http://www.collegehumor.com/post/6954541/7-words-that-definitely-sound-like-they-mean-something-else  Hyperlink Taxation without Representation - Guest - 05-23-2022 Record producers. They helped create the Planet Parchment Project. Along with with the Hollywood Hammers they hold sway over all media driven fantasy. They're sending out their taxation methods outward to dull the senses with purple dazzle to keep us all un-wary of such taxing things.   Hyperlink Taxation without Representation - Guest - 05-23-2022 https://youtu.be/wc4mWUFX98c    Hyperlink Taxation without Representation - Guest - 05-23-2022 Quote: |
