Article 13 has been approved by EU. Itโ€™s worse than Net Neutrality has ever been. I donโ€™t even know if we will have any access to Tumblr, Pinterest, Ao3 or even Instagram. Memes are probably dead, just like reactions, fanfictions and gifsets. Everyone in EU is in danger that they will not have access to their favorite sites. But I havenโ€™t seen a SINGLE post about it on my dash because Americans doesnโ€™t give a damn.

Also, Iโ€™m in Europe and ngl, had no idea this was even an article up for debate let alone it being fucking passed.

Donโ€™t panic! This was expected at this stage and it is only the beginning. If you are a European and feel passionate about this, please keep on reading and help!

So what has happened so far โ€ฆ the Commission has drafted up a long overdue copyright reform. https://eur-lex.europa.eu/procedure/EN/2016_280ย It contains a lot of good, and some bad: mainly Article 11 and 13.

This was put forward as a whole to the European Parlament, where it was voted down on the 5th of July 2018

This meant, this will not go through the fast way, and will be subject to scrutiny and change.ย 

The Commission made some alterationsย https://eur-lex.europa.eu/procedure/EN/2016_280ย and put it forward again. Ifย Parlament would have voted it down again, it probably would have meant back to the drawing board, but most people (including me) agree that Europe does need copyright reform, so on the second vote it passed the first step:

So what happens now?ย 

This will now go into what is called the Trilogue, where Commission, Parlament and representatives of all national governments will sit together to make alterations until everybody is happy implementing the regulation.

This means we can now influence this via our MEPs and our National Government!

In countries that are red your government is likely to support Article 13.

What to do now?

There are a lot of organisations that organise actions against article 13. Check out their websites and get in touch with your MEP or local government and let them know you are unhappy about this.

โ€ฆ and many many more, just google to find one in your country.

Also, as @asthesea-breezehitsmylungsย pointed out, a lot of people are not aware of this going on. So make them aware! Share the memes and point them to the petitions. And donโ€™t just complain how shit this is, get in touch with your politicians!

Oh good.

Yo, everyone, EU or not, please at least signal boost this shit. Iโ€™ve said it before and I will say it again: those two articles will suck majorly for all of us.

Like dude, how much time do you spend enjoying various things that relate to, Idk, your favourite show or book series. Itโ€™ll probs be gone. Funny memes and shit? Nah our generation doesnโ€™t fucking need to laugh, itโ€™s not like half of us are already depressed or anything. And so many other things that are cool about the internet, Iโ€™m not even gonna mention how some big, cool places like YouTube and Tumblr will be fucked by this.

So seriously, thereโ€™s only so much a small bunch of people can do. We need some noise on this. As much as I hate to admit it, some things require some fat numbres to be paid attention to. So even if youโ€™re not planning on taking any action yourself, the best thing to do would be to spread this to everyone you trust to either get involved or pay it forward like you did.

And seriously, every little thing helps, ok? We should have a say in how the laws that deeply affect us are made.

SIGNAL BOOST

For all my cousins in Europe. Meme on my dudes.

I donโ€™t want to disappear without a forewarning.

As of July 4th 2018, the Internet as we know it might be dead for good.ย 

The European Parliament is passing a new Copyright Directive.ย  Article 13 #CensorshipMachine will impose widespread censorship of all the content we share online. Art, fanfiction, parodies, remixes, mashups, memes, etc.. Anything that you do not hold the rights over will be taken down.ย 

Article 13 would force all online platforms to police and prevent the uploading of copyrighted content, or make people seek the correct licenses to post that content.ย Internet platforms hosting large amounts of user-uploaded content must monitor user behaviour and filter their contributions to identify and prevent copyright infringement.ย 

Such filters will be mandatory for platforms including YouTube, Facebook, Tumblr, Reddit and Instagram, but also much smaller websites.ย

Okay Lucifans listen up

This coming Monday FOX (ew) will air the 2 standalone episodes beginning 8/7c. So as you know US Lucifans please tune in for the Nilsen ratings . If you US fans donโ€™t have a Nislen box this is what you can do:

DVR the episode and watch back within 12 hours.

HULU offers a free trial period of one month so make an account and watch Lucifer live on their stream, its ratings will count. (I think Canada can access Hulu too).

Now as it has clearly been shown, Lucifans are worldwide and us international fans can sometimes feel useless in the respect of ratings.

HOWEVER as we are aiming for Lucifer to find a home on a streaming service, ratings from these services will also be taken into account.

Amazon Prime also offer a free month trial period and the episodes will be uploaded on here 2-3 hours after airing in America. So international fans if you can access Prime, then sign up and watch please! (Watch within 12-14 hours of it being uploaded if you can).

And to ALL Lucifans, as always when you are watching TWEET about it using the hashtags #savelucifer #pickuplucifer

PLEASE REBLOG TO SPREAD THE WORD

I hope this helps and lets keep the faith that our beloved show can be saved.

GO GO GOOOOOO

WARNING: ANIMAL CRUELTY

Apparently people have been adopting dogs and either killing them themselves or dropping them to a kill shelter (and one even said they were flying them to poor Asian areas to be eaten) under the Twitter hashtag #pitbulldropoff

This is completely cruel and evil and word needs to get around about these demons so everyone knows what these demons are planning to do to dogs once they get ahold of them.

If you know someone or if you yourself is planning to give away a pitty by craigslist soon, DONT and wait for awhile!!!! They act like theyโ€™re going to adopt them and act all nice then they get rid of them, donโ€™t be fooled!!

DM me for uncensored names!!!!!!!!

Someone should tell these people I will fucking end them.

Im sorry WHAT?! These assholes are adopting pitbulls to kill them?! That is disgusting.

SIGNAL BOOST THE FUCK OUT OF THIS

Hey guys. Just want to tell you.

So @leydehermione sent me a picture of Ildyโ€™s recent post

And I am getting quite the bit of hope here because Ildy stated WHEN not IF, but WHEN. That means talks are going on and they are sealing the deal. Business talks are like that because they have to make sure everything is settled before its a green light.

So keep tweeting and fighting okay?

Lucifans, donโ€™t throw in the towel yet!

Guys, guys, guys! Iโ€™m seeing a lot of people saying โ€œOh no, CW didnโ€™t save our show, guess itโ€™s time to just let it go.โ€

ABSOLUTELY DO NOT LET #SAVELUCIFER GO!

Thereโ€™s a reason why Tom mentioned Brooklyn 99 in his interview with BBC Newsnight. He was trying to help fans set expectations. Itโ€™s really easy to look at Brooklyn 99 getting picked up after a day and think โ€œThatโ€™s the timeline, and each day past that it takes means less and less hope.โ€ FALSE. The Brooklyn 99 deal went through so quickly because it already had connections with NBC and Andy kind of grew up there in his career. Brooklyn 99โ€ฒs quick save was the exception, not the rule.

Lucifer is going to take more work. It was always going to take more work. And to be honest, Fox screwed us over not just with the cancellation but with the timing of it. Most networks had already mostly locked down their scheduling because Upfronts were this following week. It was very unlikely, right from the start, that Lucifer would find a new home in just a week. That was always the case, since Day 1 of the cancellation.

If you let Foxโ€™s crap cancellation timing make you discouraged about saving the show, then theyโ€™ve managed to kill it twice.

If you sit back and say โ€œWell, CW didnโ€™t immediately pick us up, so all hope is lostโ€, then youโ€™ve doomed our efforts to save the show.

CW is not the only network that could pick us up, so donโ€™t let our exclusion from their current listed schedule kill your motivation.

TV Networks have cycles of shows these days to fill the year, and thereโ€™s still a great chance that we could get picked up by any networks. Or maybe it will take a year off the air for a network to be able to find a free hour for us to take. There are a lot of moving parts and much pre-planning involved in networkโ€™s designing their TV schedules. It was expected that this will take time.

Tom and Lauren and Rachel and Lesley and Joe and Ildy and everyone in the cast and crew are all counted on Lucifans to keep making noise to give them the best shows of saving the show and finding it a new home. If you let your motivation die because of one missed opportunity, weโ€™ll never save this show. There are clearly meetings happening with someone, so hang in there to see what comes of them.

KEEP FIGHTING FOR THE SHOW.

ITโ€™S ONLY BEEN A WEEK.

KEEP MAKING NOISE.

If you all needed some more hope this is it.

1) Tom is going over to LA to help with the shopping which must mean there is a strong chance.

2) we got noticed by bbc news which is huge! They want to do a segment on it tomorrow night with Tom so we need to keep the movement of #savelucifer #pickuplucifer going

HAVE HOPE GUYS I THINK WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO PULL THIS OFF

I really hope so!!!!! I guess Iโ€™m going to have to figure out how to schedule tweets because I need to do work now lol.
