    Yeah, everyone has to bleep the “never”. I think it changes the context of the song too much. But, what can you do?

    Edit: I think you can bleep the “give” and make it a song about abstinence.

    Under the assumption this is a genuine call for help and not a troll post, this article discusses UK copyright law post-Brexit.

    Rickroll somebody and see if you get put in jail. For science.

    Yup. Whenever I try to play Rick Astley I get re-directed to EU's anti-meme division http://europeanunion.eu/anti-meme

    No it is not because it is not even in any shape or form a law that can be applied to certain situations, it is now simply a guide line so to speak what form it will take and what platforms will be targetted by it and if regular people not just those that seek commercial gain from it.

    But there are other, seemingly random videos that are not available here, like some from The Beatles, and some from Nine Inch Nails. Just a few songs, not the entire channel. Even the comments on those videos are "removed", gone.

    Could be a recent Youtube bug, although the way comments disappear too is quite suspect.
    That has nothing to do with art 13 as that is not in effect yet and still years away at best, that has to do with copyright issues.

    What idiots are fear-mongering about article 13 this week, because that is ridiculous.
