This would only ban Meme's in their current form, where people take material that is under Copyright and throw funny words on top of it. We are living in the age of "lazy man meme's."

If a law like this goes through then all of the web's Photoshop experts will simply start "creating" meme's for everyone to use.

So instead of this...



We will get this...




This is all similar to when the "world wide web" first became a thing, and people were buying domain names of businesses. Like... I could have bought "BestBuy.com" and then charged the company a hundred thousand dollars for it. But then a law was passed that made such a thing illegal since Domain Names are also treated as intellectual property.

The EU has no fair use clause in copyright? Even the USA has that and our copyright laws went full retard 50+ years ago.

Nothing will change, it's just a lot of bruhaha ... keep calm people, the sky is NOT falling, although sky news likes to spin it that way when it comes to the EU. 
Core i7-7700k @ 4.9 Ghz | 32 GB DDR4 Corsair Vengeance @ 3000Mhz | 2x 1TB Samsung Evo | 2x 4GB WD Black
ASUS MAXIMUS IX HERO | MSI AERO GTX 1080 OC @ 2000Mhz | Corsair Carbide Series 400C White (RGB FTW!) 

Be kind to one another 🙂

I can't see copyright owners taking any sort of action over Memes. It's free advertising for their IP.
