Article 13 is the section of the proposed European Copyright rective, currently being debated and negotiated by the European Parliament, Commission and Council, that takes a stand for artists, musicians, filmmakers and other creators and gives them a fighting chance to make a living in the face of the big platforms’ domination of the creative economy. So it will come as no surprise that YouTube and other internet platforms are fighting hard against Article 13, because killing it would preserve their status as hosts, free of responsibility for copyright violations.
