Selgitustaotluse sisu (soovitud selgituste kirjeldus)* I am a citizen of Estonia, a business owner and software engineer, and I am writing to you as you are the Deputy Permanent Representative of Estonia and as such a representative of my interests in the EU. I am writing to you because I have become aware of the EU Commission's proposed Article 13 of the Copyright Directive, which would "provides for an obligation for certain service providers to put in place appropriate technologies and fosters the conclusion of agreements with rightholders." This in essence means that all sites that host user generated content must develop filters that scan and allow or disallow user content when it is uploaded/posted. This is not feasible - developing such filters and systems is expensive and time consuming at the least, not to mention that the effectiveness of such filters is highly debatable - take for example YouTube which is one of the largest content hosting companies around and has been developing automated filters for years, but still is unable to fully filter copyrighted content on their site. The whole issue is complicated further by the fact that there are multiple exemptions and fair- use cases which allow the use of copyrighted material, and there are many different licences that a material can have. It essentially means killing any new initiatives and business models that rely on user generated content as the initial cost of implementing filtering mechanisms or manually validating content is too high. This is especially irksome in the software development sphere as sites such as GitHub and Bitbucket etc which are heavily used in the development process would be liable to scan code which is uploaded. This would directly affect the work of software developers such as myself as using open source software with varying licences is a part of my job. In conclusion this proposal is very stifling to innovation, free speech and to the open internet. To reinforce my position I will include some links talking about why the proposal is bad: Open letter to the EU policy makers to delete Article 13 by EFF and 56 other civil organisations - https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2017/10/digital-rights-groups-demand-deletion-unlawful- filtering-mandate-proposed-eu Position of COMMUNIA on Article 13 - https://www.communia- association.org/2017/09/14/updated-position-paper-article-13-remains-terrible-idea-needs- deleted/ A 2 minute video explaining why Article 13 is bad - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r8pi6e5GLaQ As a representative of my rights I expect you to fight for my right not to be permanently subject to flawed copyright filters at everything I do online - both professionally and personally. Tallinn, 07.02 (digiallkirjastatud) Koht, kuupäev ja allkiri:
