We have an opportunity to stop Article 13 and Article 11, which will be devastating to the freedom of the Internet in Europe. The question is: do we have the courage to do it, do we have the courage to stand for what is right?

This is important: the EU copyright directive is not about protecting artists, it's about propping up failing giants and destroying small competitors.
