    YouTube CEO says EU’s new copyright legislation threatens jobs, smaller creators

    Direct quote from Wojcicki's blog post:
    "The proposal could force platforms, like YouTube, to allow only content from a small number of large companies. It would be too risky for platforms to host content from smaller original content creators, because the platforms would now be directly liable for that content. We realize the importance of all rights holders being fairly compensated, which is why we built Content ID, and a platform to pay out all types of content owners. But the unintended consequences of article 13 will put this ecosystem at risk."

    In summary, the EU's version of YouTube could get fucked.

      Editing … Yeah more regulations might end up loosing jobs for sure. But dear CEO what is with previous youtube fuck ups? EUs fault also? Sounds like a lame forecast excuse for reduced profits on yt. I am already bothered to see all kind of offers to watch tv shows (or episodes) and movies partly for €10+. I sense greed...
