EU approves internet copyright law, including ‘link tax’ and ‘upload filter’
Copyright is a contract between two groups where a copyright holder dictates the terms under which their material may be used or duplicated.  If the receiving party to that material violates those terms (say they&#x27;ve received a movie screener for an unreleased film and leaked it), they are in violation of that contract and should pay the fees dictated in their contract.<p>To argue that all parties everywhere should be forced subsidize the enforcement and policing of that contract is outrageous, economically unsound, and violates liberty.
