Press release, June 20th, 2018
On June 20th, The Legal Affairs (JURI) Committee adopted the Draft Copyright Directive, including its Article 13 that imposes the implementation of generalized and automated upload filters by hosting platforms. While free software development platforms are exempted from this filtering obligation, the very idea of it is disastrous. April calls on Members of the European Parliament to reject this draft directive in its entirety during the July plenary.
