Under Article 15 of the EU’s Copyright Directive, “information society service providers” must compensate “publishers of press publications” for the use of news articles, photos, and video.  Translation: social media companies and search engines will need to pay up when users access news through their platforms. Yet, exactly how this transformation of the online news businesses is to take place remains to be seen. Will short excerpts and links count? Can search engines and platforms get around this provision by imposing their own terms? How can publishers begin to take advantage of Article 15? In this episode of Connected With Latham, London partner Deborah Kirk speaks with Paris partner Adrien Giraud and London associate Elva Cullen about the future of Article 15 and what press publishers and online service providers can do to navigate the changing landscape of online news.   This podcast is provided as a service of Latham & Watkins LLP.

The EU Copyright Directive, now implemented in Europe, did not “break the internet” as some feared, but has been controversial. With the longstop implementation date for EU Member States falling after Brexit, the UK need not and will not implement the directive. What does this mean for the future of copyright law in the UK, and what does the divergence of EU and UK law mean for companies navigating the regulatory landscape? In this episode of Connected With Latham, Deborah Kirk, London partner and Global Vice Chair of the Technology Industry Group and London associate Elva Cullen discuss the Copyright Directive and the effect Brexit will have on copyright policy in the UK.   This podcast is provided as a service of Latham & Watkins LLP.

On today’s episode we discuss the range of questions that the Copyright Directive raises. While the possibility of global contagion of the EU Directive remains uncertain, we speculate on the (im)possibility of transplanting the licensing  mandate of the Directive in the US context.As filters are promoted as a silver bullet to copyright enforcement, we ask whether they even work, and who they work against. We discuss the particular impacts on users and individual content creators that lose out most in this negotiation between institutional copyright holders and large UGC platforms.Our guests for this episode:Kat Geddes, PhD candidate NYU LawJamie Greenberg, Corporate counsel, WattpadMeredith Rose, Public KnowledgeThis episode - along with other episodes in the series - has been approved for one CLE credit in the Area of Professional Practice  category.

Every now and then, I like to insert a music-and-data episode into the show since hey, I’m a musician, and I’m the host ;-) Today is one of those days! Rasty Turek is founder and CEO of Pex, a leading analytics and rights management platform used for discovering and tracking video and audio content using data science. Pex’s AI crawls the internet for user-generated content (UGC), identifies copyrighted audio/ visual content, indexes the media, and then enables rights holders to understand where their art is being used so it can be monetized. Pex’s goal is to help its customers understand who is using their licensed content, and what they are using it for — along with key insights to support monetization initiatives and negotiations with UGC platform providers. In this episode of Experiencing Data, we discuss: How the data science behind Pex works in terms of being able to fingerprint actual songs (the underlying IP of a composition) vs. masters (actual audio recordings of songs) The challenges PEX has in identifying complex, audio-rich user-generated content and cover recordings, and ensuring it is indexing as many usages as possible. The transitioning UGC market, and how Pex is trying to facilitate change. One item that Rasty discusses is Europe’s new Copyright Directive law, and how it’s impacting UGC from a licensing standpoint. How analytics are empowering publishers, giving them key insights and firepower to negotiate with UGC platforms over licensed content. Key product design and UX considerations that Pex has taken to make their analytics useful to customers What Rasty learned through his software iteration journey at Pex, including a memorable example about bias that influenced future iterations of the design/UI/UX How Pex predicts and priorities monetization opportunities for customers, and how they surface infringements. Why copyright education is the “last bastion of the internet” — and the role that Pex is playing in streamlining copyrighted material. Brian also challenges Rasty directly, asking him how the Pex platform balances flexibility with complexity when dealing with extremely large data sets.

Everybody that produces something is immediately a rights owner, but I think most of us will eventually generate our livelihood through some form of IP, especially if you believe that the machines are going to take the manual labor from us.” - Rasty “When people ask me how it is to run a big data company, I always tell them I wish we were not [a big data company], because I would much rather have  “small data,” and have a very good business, rather than big data.” - Rasty “There's a lot of these companies that [have operated] in this field for 20 to 30 years, we just took it a little bit further. We adjusted it towards the UGC world, and we focused on simplicity” - Rasty “We don't follow users, we follow content. And so, at some point [during our design process] we were exploring if we could follow users [of our customers’ copyrighted content].... As we explored this more, we started noticing that [our customers] started making incorrect decisions because they were biased towards users [of their copyrighted content].” - Rasty “If you think that your

PLUSPLUSPLUS Music from Marigolds For the Hornets Surfquake Barny Holmes How Long Will Spotify Allow Bootleg “Podcasts” to Top the Charts? A substantial number of podcast bootleggers are delivering illegal music to Spotify users, and it's unclear how — or if — the streaming service will stem the tide of copyright infringement and stolen royalties. According to a report from Pitchfork, a simple-but-effective process allows users to make demos, live recordings, unreleased tracks, and a slew of otherwise unpublished songs, available for all to enjoy on Spotify: The works are disguised as podcasts. The streaming giant has not established especially stringent copyright-infringement filters for non-music content, and in turn, the compilations are staying live for sizable periods of time — long enough to rise to the top of the podcast charts, in many cases. while the inspiration for posting bootleg music may not be financial, the affected artists are being very directly — and very seriously — impacted. To climb to the top of the podcast charts, a program must receive many plays and positive reviews.   UK Offers a Firm Post-Brexit Immigration Statement, BPI Warns Against ‘Unreasonable Bureaucracy' Having finalized Brexit and officially exited the European Union, the United Kingdom is taking steps to fundamentally change its immigration policy, as indicated by a statement posted on the UK government's official website. As expected, “free movement”—the ability of EU citizens to enter and exit the United Kingdom as they please—will be halted beginning in January 2021. New visitor-registration services will aim to more thoroughly document who enters and exits the UK, and post-Brexit border security will be bolstered. Additionally, a points-based immigration system will be part of a broader initiative to attract skilled foreigners to the country. The points-based system sets salary thresholds for non-citizen professionals who wish to become employed in the UK, in addition to evaluating these individuals based upon qualifications, education, experience, and more. Presumably, the European Union could fire back with requirements of their own, which would affect the way UK artists seek permission to perform in European Union states. Late last month, the UK government stated that it would not enforce the European Union's much-criticized Copyright Directive, which will strengthen copyright laws by holding web platforms liable for the content their users upload; only registered copyright holders will be allowed to share their media, under the Directive.   Sofar Sounds Overhauls Artist Payments After Being Fined $460,000 As part of the update, which was announced via Sofar's website, “the beginnings of a brand new artist dashboard” have been instituted. When complete, this optimized dashboard will enable Sofar musicians to more quickly and easily access booking information and event specifics, in addition to promptly reserving performance slots. A beta has been made available to some Sofar users, with a wider rollout tentatively scheduled for March. Plus, the upcoming dashboard will boast enhanced artist-communication tools (through which performers can connect with other performers that they've met on the road) and will prompt attendees to support artists. Most significantly, though, Sofar Sounds revealed that they will continue to work towards a 70/30 profit split (in artists' favor) for “standard shows in ticketed cities.” In doing so, artists who sell a relatively large number of tickets will be paid comparatively more. For ticketed-city performers who sell between zero and 70 tickets, Sofar will pay $100; anywhere between 71 and 100 sold tickets will earn artists $125; and 101+ attendees will result in artists being paid $150. The rate “applies to all standard shows in ticketed cities,” according to Sofar. The aforementioned New York Department of Labor investigation zeroed in on more than 650 individuals whom Sofar classified as “ambassadors” and did not compensate. Sofar execs were said to have cooperated with the investigation, after which $460,357.50 was paid out to the affected employees, and the above-described overhaul was planned. Importantly, many cities book Sofar shows on a volunteer basis, and at these events, audience members can pay as much (or as little) as they like. Sofar Sounds' concerts typically involve three up-and-coming acts (artists, dancers, and even comedians can apply on the company's website). Venues are announced 24 hours beforehand, guests aren't told who will be playing until they arrive, and each artist's set generally lasts 20 to 25 minutes.   Checklist for getting gigs *Promo package -Photos -Videos -Recordings *make a list of venues (think about the their usual genre and clientele, travel distance, do you know anyone in that town?) *make phone calls *make a list of promoters (think about how you approach them, bargaining power)* *analyse what other artists around you are doing in terms of promotion and marketing  -Marketing is the process of interesting potential customers and clients in your products and/or services. The key word in this marketing definition is "process"; marketing involves researching, promoting, selling, and distributing your products or services.) *look for support opportunities (buy on *try busking *loss leaders *say thank you, take it on the chin *festivals look for stage managers and promoters and sound engineers, linked in *pricing is important, if you're a covers band don't under sell yourself. you can get gigs easy but also taken advantage of and other bands locally may not like you undercutting them giving you a bad rep. If you're an originals band the supply is way higher than the demand so don't expect much money, think about pitching how much money you can make them.     Music From Marigolds For The Hornets Surfquake Barny Holmes       24 Feb The Duke Open Mic! 19:30 · The Duke Ipswich   24 Feb Talking Sleeve Live at Monday Night Mayhem! 20 · Brewers Arms - Ipswich   Tues, 25 Feb Ipswich - Open Mic - Hallowed Be Thy Mic Briarbank Brewing Company   28/02/2020 The Lurkers + Smart Alex  The Steamboat Tavern, 78 New Cut West, Ipswich Suffolk, IP2 8HW, United Kingdom   Fri 21:15 Rolled Up Sleeves // Slater // Tom Peplow  · Coda Colchester · Colchester, Essex   28/02/2020 Pale Girls + Marigolds + Goldblume + Blue Mean Eyes The Smokehouse, 6 South Street, Ipswich Suffolk, IP1 3NU, United Kingdom   28/02/2020 For The Hornets + Killatrix + Pink Lemonade + Bag Of Cans  John Peel Centre, Church Walk , Stowmarket Suffolk, IP14 1ET, United Kingdom   29/02/2020 Surfquake + Ed Sykes & The Sonic Oscillators  Colchester Arts Centre, Church Street, Colchester Essex, CO1 1NF, United Kingdom   29/02/2020 Tripswitch  The Kingfisher, 301 Hawthorn Drive, Ipswich Suffolk, IP2 0QX, United Kingdom   Sun 15:00 Barny Holmes live at Isaacs Isaacs on the Quay · Ipswich, Suffolk

Host Brian Wesolowski sits down first with Joy M. Bruce, the executive director of CASA New Orleans, a nonprofit focused on the rights of abused and neglected children. She helps Brian put the focus on the impact data has on foster kids in the education system – alongside Keedy Bradley, who was part of the foster care system in New Orleans, and now interns with CASA. Then, Brian tackles the European Parliament's recent controversial adoption of the Copyright Directive, aimed at modernizing copyright law for the digital age and harmonizing it across the EU. Opponents of the directive, including CDT are concerned the law will have significant unintended consequences and break the principle of fair use. We bring on our new EU analyst, Vincenzo Tiani, to discuss.

Poland is boldly leading the fight against internet censorship in the EU. If you wish to keep your internet free of censorship and link taxes, attend one of the protests in your local area. https://www.facebook.com/pg/StopACTA2... Stop ACTA2. Join the protest! "#ACTA2 is the name of the Copyright Directive on the single digital market. This Directive is known by many hashtags in the internet – here are some of them: #stopACTA2, #CopyrightDirective, #SaveYourInternet, #SaveTheInternet, #Article11, #Article13, #UploadFilters, #LinkTax, #Filternet, #ACTA2. We call it the #ACTA2 because it’s not about helping creators with the copyright law problem it only uses the copyright subject as an excuse to control content of the internet. The information that you post and you receive. The copyright problem subject is just a way to finance the building of the censorship infrastructure and a way to push the legislation true the European Parliament – to fool the MEP’s that they are doing the right thing. ACTA2 is dangerous – As a directive it gives precedence for future censorship of information in the European internet. Today it’s copyrights. Tomorrow it will be political correctness, radicalism and in the end, every other point of view. ACTA2 is the beggining of the Orwellian world."

In the 15th episode of Copy This, host Kirby Ferguson talks with copyright policy advisor Paul Keller about his work to oppose the European Union’s Copyright Directive and its controversial Article 13 content filtering proposal. Paul, along with the #saveyourinternet campaign, have helped lead the public fight against the the restrictive copyright proposal.

Show Notes: Voting History Rejected narrowly in June after 2 years of negotiations and drafts (https://www.politico.eu/article/european-parliament-votes-to-block-copyright-reform/) After some edits and a whole lot of lobbying it passed parliament (https://www.theverge.com/2018/9/12/17849868/eu-internet-copyright-reform-article-11-13-approved, https://news.vice.com/en_us/article/9kv5pa/eu-copyright-directive-vote-internet, https://www.politico.eu/article/european-parliament-axel-voss-backs-copyright-reform-against-tech-giants-google-facebook/) Some of this is fine: Article 3 proposes an exemption for text and data mining for scientific research - this would be sweet as generating data-sets is a massive pain as it is! This would potentially create a case to open up more scientific research to being used in research (see the open access movement if you're not familiar with why is this such a problem) Article 4 potentially adds exemptions for using copyrighted works in educational material including digitally (So "on the interweb"?) Article 14 adds some transparency obligations for rights holders to the original performers, requiring them to provide updated on the use and any payment owed Article 15 would allow for renegoiation for authors who have found their royalties from rights holders to be disproportionately low. Some of it is not fine in its current form Article 13 takes aim at "online content sharing service providers", aimed at getting rid in part of the "Mere conduit" exception from the original 2001 directive. The original being written in a time before YouTube or proper social media as we now know it didn't imagine YouTube not being liable for copyright just because they're only the "conduit". It seems pretty specifically targeted "...store and give the public access to a large amount of works or other subject-matter uploaded by its users which [they] organise and promote for profit-making purposes" Article 11, or so called "link tax", does something which appears very straightforward: "Member States shall provide publishers of press publications with the rights provided for in Article 2 and Article 3(2) of Directive 2001/29/EC for the digital use of their press publications" So those two are detailed in the original 2001 directive here (https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/HTML/?uri=CELEX:32001L0029&from=EN). Cool so that's fine right... but way so publishing excerpts in the way Facebook and Google do won't be cool anymore. That might be a problem, people love their Google news and sweet Facebook links. Mega Corporations react to... complex regulations YouTube have launched a pretty full on attack against the directive, specifically targeting "article 13". Their CEO wrote an op-ed for the FT and republished it on their blog (I guess to be paywall free.. https://youtube-creators.googleblog.com/2018/11/i-support-goals-of-article-13-i-also.html). Their argument is effectively that if you hold them directly accountable for copyright infringement on their platform they will probably just have to block things from outside the EU to EU countries. What about creators in the EU? Their content will probably have to just be deleted. Content ID, YouTube's often controversial and much hated system for automatically flagging copyrighted material, already exists. They instead "welcome the chance to work with policymakers and the industry to develop a solution within article 13 that protects rights holders while also allowing the creative economy to thrive", which sounds like "let's make a more aggressive version of Content ID". The existing system already has problems with cases of record labels trying to claim copyright on music they clearly don't own and any version of fair use being ignored (Nintendo's aggressive removal of game play clips being a good example). It's already very in favor of the rights holder... Unsurprisingly YouTube's suggestion makes it good for YouTube because at the cost of some more development money they get to remain the only platform with the existing tech to have a 'compliant' user generated platform. Their core point makes a lot of sense - the EU has written the regulation in terms that don't really make sense on the scale of YouTube. Regulators are in a sense asking for a system where only things which have been vetted will get posted... This is basically impossible for the volume YouTube adds daily. For music this would probably mean a return to mid 00s style music piracy to some extent in Europe where nobody got paid at all. How would something like Mastodon be approached since they're technically not the "platform", people running instances would be responsible. They've created a whole page of videos where hip YouTubers from Europe explain why this is bad https://www.youtube.com/saveyourinternet/ . It also includes a Youtube guy talking in his best YouTube voice explaining they'd simply have to block EU YouTubers. It's well polished but really their search for compromise is probably not in the interest of the little guy. Extend the existing directive This is effectively an attempt to expand the Copyright Directive (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyright_Directive) to cover social media, expand the use of automated controls and generally make the directive more modern. The extensions proposed and approved by the parliament are pretty extensive (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directive_on_Copyright_in_the_Digital_Single_Market) Full text - https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/HTML/?uri=CELEX:52016PC0593&from=EN Criticism So there's two great examples which lay out some good objections to the way this is described: EFF (https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2018/10/effs-letter-eus-copyright-directive-negotiators) Two main problems described: Copyright complains are currently wildly overused because there's no repercussion for incorrectly claiming copyright as it is... so making the claims stronger is a terrible idea. "Online service providers should be able to pre-emptively strike off a rightsholder who has been found to be abusive of Article 13 by another provider." Article 11 is way too broad in its current language. What is a link? How big a quotation requires permission? I'd say a lot of online publications don't want it to be any length.. but if the EU wants to direct this they need to have specifics! Julia Reda MEP, Pirate Party (https://juliareda.eu/2018/11/youtube-article-13/) On the more idealistic end - They're both wrong. YouTube's compromise will just end with hyped up Content Id and the existing text is only there for the music and paywall news industry to get some version of their old business model back in a world that's moved on from it. A sadder part from a parliament member is that there's worry the good parts will be quietly removed in renegotiation in order to get to a compromise... so the actual artists get nothing new but the companies that benefit from and those who collect their lenience fees get a bunch.

Welcome to Finance & Fury’s Furious Fridays… This week we continue looking at the EU. If you didn’t catch last week’s episode, you might want to check it out here. It explains what the EU is, and what their role in Europe actually looks like. This week we dive a little deeper and look at the two issues faced by the countries who are considering leaving the EU - Loss of sovereignty & Immigration. Loss of sovereignty A lot of nations (Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland) lived under brutal authoritarian governments – for most of the 20th They swapped Nazi rule, for Soviet rule and now the EU rule The Internet Censorship Bill is a great example of loss of sovereignty Article 13 – the new Copyright Directive involves the creation of a crowdsourced database of "copyrighted works". Platforms such as FB, Youtube etc must take this into account and block “copyrighted works” from being posted on their sites. Billions of people around the world will be able to submit anythingto the blacklists There is no onus to prove you actually hold the copyright, and no punishment for false submissions Article 11 simply gives publishers the right to ask for paid licenses when their news stories are shared on online platforms. This would destroy FB and Youtube. Good or not – this is where a lot of people get their information, updates about current events and news. It’s all shared content. The thing that was the turning point for most was realising how little Sovereignty they have when considering the current immigration crisis There are two complicated issues – The Schengen Agreement and The Dublin Regulations These will probably cause the downfall of the EU Schengen Agreement- border checks on internal borders (i.e. between member states) are abolished Restricted border checks to external borders only – Meaning free travel for anyone inside the EU Some nations aren’t a part of it – UK still has customs, even on the train between France and the UK Almost the same as moving from QLD to NSW to Vic The Dublin Regulation- the EU member country that an immigrant first reaches MUST process the asylum application Prevents asylum applicants in the EU from "asylum shopping" – moving to the country of their choice, typically the country that will provide better welfare. This wasn’t well enforced until 2016, but now it’s placing too much responsibility on the member states on the EU's external borders – Italy, Greece and Hungary – who receive the most immigrants on their doorsteps. Italy – boats from Africa, Hungary and Greece – Turkey Spain – from Morocco The new proposal would introduce a "centralized automated system" to record the number of asylum applications across the EU and presents a "reference key" based on a Member State's GDP and population size. The country is essentially given a quota of how many migrants they have to accept. The populations of the country have no say on immigration policies If a Member State chooses not to accept the asylum seekers – it will have to contribute $250,000 per application as a "solidarity contribution". This got me thinking – that is a LOT of money per person – especially given the narrative that there is massive “economic benefit” in migration  So, what are the economic effects of migration? There are two sides to the coin, and it all depends on who is moving where. Immigration – the words is now used as a collective term for both legal and illegal migrants entering a country, including refugees. The “Sending” countries experience both good and bad effects off emigration. “Brain Drain” - the loss of trained and educated individuals to emigration – This is generally through legal immigration. Currently more African scientists and engineers working in the U.S. than there are in all of Africa, according to the International Organization for Migration (IOM). Africa only retains 1.3% of the world’s health care practitioners – UN Population Fund 2006 With almost 17% of the world’s population and 64% of the population with HIV/AIDs Remittances - funds that emigrants earn abroad and send back to their home countries Estimates at $530bn in 2012 Money leaving the shores of a country reducing the multiplier effect in the nation the money is being sent from because it’s not money that will be spent in that nation. Might have small currency pressures, and also props up the sending country with higher spending   The “Receiving” countries Population growth is heightened – More people buying things, and paying taxes (that is, for the portion of immigrants who are working) This helps to address skills shortages but may also decrease domestic wages This can also add to public burden (though this is negligible for skilled migration) There are a lot of hidden costs of immigration; Welfare, Education, Healthcare, Infrastructure, Housing Increases unrest and economic inequality CIS study concluded that, “immigration has dramatically increased the size of the nation’s low-income population” Disparities between immigrants in Germany and native Germans; 49% of non-Germans falling below the poverty line compared to 23% of original native citizens.   This is due to immigrants being less likely to be employed – 81% for natives to 66% of non-Germans. “The consequences are segregation, housing problems and divided cities” (Traynor, 2010)   Who does this benefit? Migrant workers often fill low-wage jobs as supply of labour (e.g. agricultural and service sectors). Helps to lower costs for big companies and increase supply of labour at a greater rate than demand for labour …which of course means lower wage growth. For example: Why do celebs want to open borders in the US? Who else will clean their 12-bedroom mansions (ironically, they don’t let refugees stay with them) inside giant walls of their own. Economic effects – Doesn’t tell a good story Netherlands: Each Muslim migrant costs $1,150,000 in total over their lifetime Germany: Total migrant cost was $86bn over 4 years. This equates to 12 Germans needing to work to pay taxes for 1 migrant Italy: Spent $4.2bn on migrants in 2017 (about one seventh of Italy’s budget) UK: $120bn pounds over 17 years Sweden: $18.6bn in costs for migrants in 2017 (19% of their Government budget, and 3.2% of GDP) 60k Euro is spent per migrant per year, whilst the average Swedish household income is only 29k Euro. Let that sink in.   The real world effects It comes back to legal immigration vs illegal/refugee intake. There is a massive distinction. In 2015 the EU had 1.8m illegal immigrants in the one year Accepting a massive number of refugees compared to rest of world US: 38k refugees per annum Australia: 18k refugees per annum Italy: 150k refugees per annum Sweden: 160k refugees per annum (2% of their population) You hear in the media it is a “refugee crisis” but in reality, it is economic migration. A recent report showed that the reality is only 1 in 5 are coming from a ‘war zone’. Estimates at over 8m people have migrated to the EU in the past 6 years, with a staggering 75% being young men – not woman and children like you see in the media. System was broken – 65% of child refugees were actually found out to be adults. This number is even worse in Sweden at 85%. This really hurts the sending countries – there’s now slavery again in Libya through human trafficking. 78% of EU citizens want tighter control over borders and immigration.   Beyond economics – the current state of the EU Remember, these are the statistics; simply reality and the facts. The UK leaving the EU because the people feel the damage is already done Most common boys name is now Mohammed (or one of its variants) In London the white British people are a minority, Savile Town has 1% white: 48 out of 4,050 Unfortunately, it has created a clash of cultures The UK is the acid attack capital of the world – there were 77 in 2012, and 465 in 2017 Grooming gangs with underage girls (Oxford, Rotherham, Rochdale, Newcastle, the list goes on) has been going on for over 10 years. Not going to go into details but look it up, but be warned if you start to research this yourself. It’s horrific. Sweden In 2015 Sweden took in almost 180k refugees (2% of their population) This caused unrest (putting it lightly) Arson attacks – 100 cars were burned in a coordinated attack a few months ago Back in 2016 – 40 hand grenade attacks – more recently on cop stations as well “No go” zones (this has been rebranded to “Vulnerable Areas”) There were 61 ‘no go zones’ in 2017 – 23 were ‘especially vulnerable’ This is just rebranding. Whilst it’s technically true that you can still go to these places you might end up like the reporters who have gone there. Not. Good. Sanandaji Has been a sharp increase in welfare payments, 60 percent of which go to immigrants Sweden expects to spend about 7 percent of its $100 billion budget next year on refugees – double what was spent in 2015 Only 25 percent of Somali refugees (age 25–64) were employed in the formal economy in 2010 This brings us back to the EU motto from last Furious Friday episode; “United in Diversity”…but how well is that working? There is a massive difference between Racial and Cultural diversity. Race means nothing, everyone should be treated the same Culture is the cohesion that keeps a country together and the ability to communicate and cooperate, with everyone playing by the same rules, building towards the same thing, is what keeps a country together. It’s like building a house – What happens if the carpenter, tiler, builder, architect all have their own ideas about what it should look like? What if they don’t pay attention to the plans and try to make it how they want it? The EU population is annoyed as their figurative houses are falling down. And, they have little say when it comes to this. There is a difference between legal and illegal immigration, and refugee/asylum migration. One has been selected to come in and one hasn’t. It’s hard to conceptualise at the global level. But here’s a question: do you lock your doors? Or have a fence around your place? Why? To protect yourself, family or stuff from other people/strangers. A Government has one role – look after the interest of its citizens. Almost all the time that is achieved through good relationships between countries and peace. Immigration policy is the same thing as locking your doors at night, or conversely, leaving them open for anyone to come in.   History of migration Nations were built on immigrants? Very true – key word her is ‘were’. Migration has changed. In the old days it was in reverse – People from Italy, Ireland, Greece, England were moving to places that were harder to live in than their homelands - were going to make something for themselves. Flow of migration was from richest parts of the world to the poorest Where would you have rather lived – London or Australia – in 1788? Compared to today, both options don’t look great. But back then London was one of the better places to live in the world. Things were hard: for example, almost half of the original colonists in the US starved in the first few years. But thanks to socialist policies once they were given property rights things took off. Today the opposite is occurring. Major net migration has reversed over the past 200 years. I am all for immigration, but not if it hurts the local population or if it hurts the immigrants (think people smuggling, slavery, human trafficking, and the dangers of actually getting themselves to the new country). Imagine that you move to Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq. How hard would it be to integrate? Language, culture, etc. Naturally most would isolate themselves and want things to be like home. I wouldn’t dare move to another country and try and make it like Australia – what is the point then of moving? Anyone who wants to have a Socialist government can move to Venezuela – the UN released a report showing 3m people have left their due to their socialist economy.   In Summary – We’re looking at Death by Demographics Bringing these facts to bear – Not only is this restricting economic growth of the EU, it is costing more through migration We’re finishing up this topic next Friday by looking at the flow on effects of the EU breaking up; on the Share Markets, Bond markets and on economic growth.

Turns out, the right way to pronounce it is: Meme. And according to the dictionary, a meme is a humorous image, video, piece of text, etc., that is copied (often with slight variations) and spread rapidly by Internet users. And back in September 2018, the European Union passed a new Copyright Directive. And the directive's Article 13 has been called as a "meme-killer", and here's why... Listen to the show for the rest.

This episode, we hear from Lucy Kueng. She’s one of the go-to names for macro and micro industry analysis, a Visiting Fellow at the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism, and has a ton of other roles in the industry that allow her to see the bigger picture. We spoke about journalism’s perverse relationship with Silicon Valley, whether publications can make it across the Valley of Death, and how external pressures change internal newsroom structure. In the news round-up the Media Voices team discuss the BBC's new show on Facebook Watch, the potential impacts of the Copyright Directive, and gush over Bauer's latest magazine launch.

This week on We're All Gonna Die, the team tackles serious issues—like family separation–to infinitely less important topics like bagels. First, we chat with Samantha Grasso, the Daily Dot's IRL reporter, about her conversation with Alisson Ximena Valencia Madrid–one of the 2,600 children separated form their family as part of the Trump administration's policy. In addition, the team chats about net neutrality, Europe’s Copyright Directive, and Cynthia Nixon's bagel order.   Music: "Jazzy Frenchy" by BenSound.com - Creative Commons Attribution License.

Article 11 & 13 have been voted on and passed through this stage of EP.
