    "Parliament’s position toughens the Commission’s proposed plans to make online platforms and aggregators liable for copyright infringements. This would also apply to snippets, where only a small part of a news publisher’s text is displayed. In practice, this liability requires these parties to pay right holders for copyrighted material that they make available. Parliament’s text also specifically requires that journalists themselves, and not just their publishing houses, benefit from remuneration stemming from this liability requirement.

    At the same time, in an attempt to encourage start-ups and innovation, the text now exempts small and micro platforms from the directive."

    So is devRant as a small platform exempted from this or would I or dfox have to pay to get people interested to read their link now? 🤔
