European parliament committee approves vote on ‘disastrous’ copyright bill
This copyright bill is a complete disaster.<p>Here's a potential solution: A third party could create a website that allows website owners to register with them and agree to sell their links for some trivially small amount (if they want to give away their traffic), say .00000001 cents (effectively making it free).  Then social sites with potential links would have a list they could check to ensure they're not accidentally linking to sites that require payment.<p>Sure, it's a hack.  imperfect solution to a disastrous regulations.
