Wikimedia warns EU copyright reform threatens the ‘vibrant free web’
Unfortunately, there isn’t a vibrant free web. Wikipedia is about the only major non-ad supported website that normal people visit. Most user content is probably on Facebook or Medium. Most breaking news is first available on twitter. Even independent websites, most likely have Google analytics and Google ads.From a European point of view, the current copyright situation is just a wealth transfer from European companies who have the copyrights, to American advertising companies.
