In a major defeat for Google’s astroturf campaign, the European Parliament has passed the new European Copyright Directive.  Big step forward for closing the greatest income transfer of all time, aka the value gap.

Google’s Cambridge Analytica-inspired tactics were very reminiscent of scams run in other countries, not to mention SOPA.

Looking forward to that apology from Torrentfreak.
