I’m with you here. If people would follow those simple rules (create original content and/or ask/pay for reuse) article 13 would never be discussed.
Nevertheless, article 13 doesn’t makes sense. It just makes it easier to control the www. I’m also not sure if artists, that are pro article 13, will be happy with it on the long run because, i guess, there will be more legal actions than before which don’t only hit the content providers (like social networks and such) but also the artists themselfs. Also it will limit the creative output, because some people are even more concerned about releasing stuff than before.
