5. Youtube "silenced" John Cage's 4'33" (see pic)
Fun fact: 4'33" *is silent*:

Looks like silence is now copyrighted.
So. Call your MEP or e-mail them, now. The vote in the commission is June 20th. We only need to flip one vote:

@DarvenDissek absolutely.
But we also need law not to fsck it up. Article 13 *will* fsck PeerTube up, too.
@rysiek @DarvenDissek peertube lets you get around a lot of restrictions.
GDPR/legally mandated ageism? not an issue with peertube - just go with tor and a non-EU instance.
this? not an issue with peertube - same thing. might not be able to federate with EU instances.
it's almost p2p, but not quite. and you might not even need tor for brand-new instances (as the government/ISPs/whatever wouldn't have noticed them yet).
(IANAL but I hope I'm getting this right)
@SoniEx2 @DarvenDissek this is not a solution, this is a work-around.
So now you're going to have to not federate with instances in the US because of FOSTA/SESTA, not federate with instances in the EU because Article 13.
Does that seem to you like a winning strategy? To me it seems like losing ground, bit by bit.
Therefore, I sent e-mails to MEPs.
Hope you're doing the same.
@rysiek @DarvenDissek I'm not from the EU so there's literally nothing I can do.
I can just advocate for workarounds if it does happen.
And ppl will rely on workarounds.
@SoniEx2 @DarvenDissek that is true, and it's good to have workarounds, of course! :)
But it's also important to fight the root of the problem whenever/wherever possible. So that we don't *need* workarounds.
@rysiek @DarvenDissek I'm thankful for peertube and other federated things because back when I was 10 we didn't have these things.
@SoniEx2 @DarvenDissek sure thing. We need more of this.
Decentralized systems are harder to design, but can be much more resilient when deployed.
@rysiek @DarvenDissek then again see also switter/FOSTA.
