Cory Doctorow has published "The EU's Copyright Proposal is Extremely Bad News for Everyone, Even (Especially!) Wikipedia" in DeepLinks.
Here's an excerpt:
Under Article 13 of the proposal, sites that allow users to post text, sounds, code, still or moving images, or other copyrighted works for public consumption will have to filter all their users' submissions against a database of copyrighted works. Sites will have to pay to license the technology to match submissions to the database, and to identify near matches as well as exact ones. Sites will be required to have a process to allow rightsholders to update this list with more copyrighted works.
