I want to open a i-shirt store and I'm in the EU. None of these will prevent me. Edit: typo... t-shirt
I have no idea what i-shirt is but it's likely that if an user uses copyrighted material for his i-shirt, you'll have to pay because it's your platform. Bonus points for not using a censorship filter in trying to do this.

Yeah. Remove EU and I'm sure Russia will be happy to take over your little countries. Individually European countries are pretty weak. They're only strong as a common entity.
Why on earth would Russia want to take over Denmark?

> This particular kerfuffle comes because the Danish food authority recently classified kanelsnegler, or cinnamon rolls, as an everyday pastry https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2013/12/eu-worrie... Sounds like this is more of a "Denmark problem" than an "EU problem", unless you think the EU should simply not legislate the use of products that can cause health issues when present in high quantities in food (i…
How ever does the US survive this cinnamon overdose epidemic? The reaction to a bad regulation being passed shouldn't be "oh, well, the government can just exempt your specific product from that regulation".

I'm glad you find it hillarious. You must not be paying for it.

Pretty sure NATO would survive the dismantling of some bureaucracy.
Divide and conquer, one of the oldest strategies. Yes, I'm sure "countries can defend themselves alone" yup, right
I wish that the EFF would include links to the updated directive. The latest I can find is the language as of 2018-05-25 ( http://www.consilium.europa.eu/media/35373/st09134-en18.pdf ) which doesn't contain the terms "commercial platforms", "news site" or link. It does leave the definition of "unsubstantial parts" up to member states, which is indeed worrying from a single market perspective. Furthermore, that wordin…

Then that's the next Brexit target, innit? Gin up some "grassroots" support for leaving that Mean Nasty NATO What Is Bad And Mean and just never you mind that the original talking points were translated from the Russian.

It seems like the cinnamon patrol comment is related to this, which does seem to indicate the interpretation of an EU law is to blame: https://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2013/12/25/256602581/wh...
It seems like the EU explicitly made it so the cinnamon rolls wouldn't be affected: > The EU's regulations on a common type of cinnamon called cassia limit how much bakers can use: 50 milligrams per kilogram of dough, if it's a traditional or seasonal pastry, or 15 milligrams per kilogram if it's just a regular old everyday pastry. But the Denmark decided their traditional seasonal pastry was an everyday one > This p…
Right to be Forgotten, GDPR, and now this... pretty soon the barrier to entry will be so high that no new players would be able to get off the ground with an internet company in Europe.
