Woah, few days to the demo and suddenly this thread gets active
(Was already worrying, that the only one appearing was american, who should not have to care as much as we Europeans)

I wouldn't lose hopes just yet. Actually I already got the feeling, that with by now everybody admitting, that upload filters will be necessary, and nobody being able to admit, that they want upload filters (cause the media would kill them), §13 was as good as bye-bye. Only then I read, that Axel Voss is still optimistic. Now that doesn't count for much, because that guy clearly lost all relation to reality but tomorrow is still a good opportunity to show the politicians our opinion about their clearly outdated ways to approach internet related things.

yes article 13 sucks and do something as long as you can but... as for the worst case scenario: what are they gonna do? with the upload filters it'd probably be like the content id system, just that stuff gets banhammered instantly. now.. youtube & co would be pretty stupid if they just banned it for the whole world, i mean just europe would be getting article 13, right? so they'll ban it for whole europe. so worst case scenario: you get a proxy and go on with what you've been doing so far. if you don't get a paid proxy / vpn then you'll experience a very slow internet but other than that yeah.
Not everybody knows how to use vpn and with that §13 will effectively kill most part of European internet communities. Now that won't hit people like us as strongly, because we both now our way around in technical things and we both are probably not that much bound to pure European communities and won't mind using only american and Japanese sites. But I'd still like not doing something illegal just by using the internet (usually sites forbid you from using vpn and will ban you if they notice you do, too) and I'd like to talk with people I know irl about the internet and don't want to let using a small discussion forum become as strange and not talked about as watching anime.
Plus: Who knows, they already try forbidding the Dark Net, next thing will be vpns. Because you know, only people doing illegal stuff are using vpns. (Sad thing is, this time that wouldn't even be that far off, only that few people would consider using the internet as we do today illegal.)
