YouTube say that new EU copyright rules could force it to ban people from uploading own videos

YouTube says that new EU copyright rules could force it to ban people from uploading their own videos.

It says that the new directive puts its entire creative community at risk and that the new rules could “drastically change the internet that you see today”.

The comments from YouTube boss Susan Wojcicki‏ are just one part of widespread outrage about the new rules, which campaigners have referred to as the ‘meme ban’.
