EU Articles 11 and 13 passed
Is this the beginning of the end of the free internet?

European Parlament today voted for [the Copyright Directive.](http://www.europarl.europa.eu/news/en/press-room/20180906IPR12103/parliament-adopts-its-position-on-digital-copyright-rules)

# The vote was 438 for and 226 against. 

Let me make this perfectly clear ...

## Our elected representatives voted for articles 11 and 13 step in the power and to enable, in fact, make mandatory paying for link usage and implementation of the upload filters.

# Are you crazy?

## or just don't care as long as you are being paid extremely well for saying yes to the corporations?

# MEPs - you are a sorry joke!

<hr>

Ok, there still is a phase of *negotiations* with various EU bodies and *implementation into the legislature* of member countries but ... this vote was crucial for the machine to start rolling.

<hr>

What will this mean for the censorship-free platforms like Steem is today? 

# The end or a rebellion?

<hr>

I want to save the votes of Slovenian MEPs on the blockchain. They voted:

<pre>
Franc BOGOVIČ (ELS/SLS)      - FOR
Tanja FAJON (S&d/SD)         - AGAINST
Alojz PETERLE (ELS/NSi)      - FOR
Igor ŠOLTES (Green/Verjamem) - AGAINST
Patricija ŠULIN (ELS/SDS)    - FOR
Romana TOMC (ELS/SDS)        - FOR
Ivo VAJGL (ALDE/DeSUS)       - FOR
dr. Milan ZVER (ELS/SDS)     - NO VOTE
</pre>

[Litter the mailboxes of those who voted FOR. Here they are ...](http://www.europarl.europa.eu/slovenia/sl/poslanci-in-ep/slovenski-poslanci-ep-2014-2019)

Ooops, I posted a link belonging to a EP site. How much do I have to pay and where to do I have to send the money? Can I pay in crypto :)
