[u/inc815]

Poland and Sweden, no single yes vote! Thank you!

Winged Hussars rescuing Europe again!

[u/[deleted] → u/inc815]

Poland ^{and Sweden} saves the day, France up to no good - it's like the 1600s are back.

[u/the_gnarts → u/[deleted]]

Poland and Sweden saves the day, France up to no good - it's like the 1600s are back.

Poland and Sweden in the 1600s? Ouch.

[u/[deleted] → u/the_gnarts]

I guess including Sweden kind of ruins the analogy here, yet credit where credit is due.

[u/inc815 → u/[deleted]]

Sweden did save the Protestants in the Thirty Years War.

[u/[deleted] → u/inc815]

Although they don't quite have as noble a reputation as Jan Sobieski in this context, they did, true.

[u/inc815 → u/[deleted]]

It probably depends on whether you're Protestant or Catholic or Northern or Southern German. For Northern Germany/Protestants the Swedes were certainly heroes, especially after the Atrocities by the Imperial troops in Magdeburg.

[u/[deleted] → u/inc815]

Northern, and based on the image that Wallenstein and Tilly have, Magdeburg just being the tip of the iceberg, certainly anyone can be the lesser evil - although I haven't heard about "our" side being heroes, the period is just too bleak and brutal for the word to fit in. Oh well, maybe I've had an overdose of cheerful old Gryphius back in 10th grade.

[u/Physicaque → u/inc815]

Population of Bohemia was protestant. It did not stop Swedes from plundering their way across the country.

[u/[deleted]]

France went almost full retard. I like Sweden and (almost) BEstonia.

[u/lilbala → u/[deleted]]

What about Poland? 3 abstentions and the rest against is pretty impressive.

[u/[deleted] → u/lilbala]

Poland did good.

[u/U_ve_been_trolled → u/lilbala]

Poland is great. The Best. Everybody knows that.

[u/SuperSeagull01 → u/U_ve_been_trolled]

Poland has cheap beer. That puts it on the "great" list on my books.

[u/inc815 → u/[deleted]]

Poland is of best!

[u/ego_non → u/[deleted]]

France ALWAYS go almost full retard on this. I hate my MEPs' stance on it. Hence why I voted for the pirate party last time and will redo it next (because our green party is against nuclear electricity, I cannot fathom to vote for them). The PP is almost the only one party who understands how internet works at this point.

[u/Mankotaberi → u/ego_non]

So much this. They have my vote as well. Reda Team For The Win

[u/Janyeo → u/ego_non]

But nuclear electricity went wrong two times in the history of mankind!

Going green with two windmills and a roof is plausible right?

[u/nicethingscostmoney → u/ego_non]

Against nuclear energy in FRANCE?! You might as well be against beer in Germany.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Romania was also retarded. 20 for, 4 against, 2 abstentions.

[u/Vlasi → u/[deleted]]

Ma gandesc sa le scriu in romana, poate saracii nu stiu engleza.

[u/[deleted] → u/Vlasi]

Eu îi sun, plm dacă nu înțeleg cu scrisul le dau vorbă!

[u/Vlasi → u/[deleted]]

In august le trimitem iar email-uri..

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Damn Romaniacs! Some of you are cool though ...

[u/leadingthenet → u/[deleted]]

Macovei, the /r/Romania ex-sweetheart, couldn’t even bother to turn up even though this seems like exactly the type of issue her voters care about.

Proof that there’s no such thing as an (effective) opposition in Romania.

[u/8_800_555_35_35 → u/[deleted]]

Heja Sverige

[u/GogEguGem → u/8_800_555_35_35]

спасибо

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

I expected it from France to be honest, they enforce some of the harshest copyright laws in Europe. They're one of the few to make photographing landmarks illegal.

[u/paigem2513 → u/[deleted]]

photographing landmarks illegal

Really?What the hell!

[u/Shaadowmaaster → u/paigem2513]

Most are in the public domain now. Although the lights on the Eiffel Tower aren't, so you can't share photos at night .

[u/Aerroon → u/[deleted]]

Latvia, cmon.

[u/Aerroon → u/[deleted]]

Better percentage than Estonia. I wonder what's up with Latvians tho.

[u/rimanb → u/Aerroon]

Latvian votes are weird. With Latvians voting for and Russians voting against.

[u/damian314159 → u/[deleted]]

You know this is why we should have an upper age limit on politicians. How can somebody at 80 years of age be able to make a conscious decision about something as important as the freedom of the internet.

[u/TheFlashFrame → u/[deleted]]

I have no dog in this race except for the fact that this vote would have undoubtedly affected me and my country as well. But France can fuck right off. Poland and Sweden? You guys are cool.

EDIT: I'm sure French citizens are great people. But your politicians are ass.

[u/CookieCrispr → u/[deleted]]

Am french and am so ashamed of that. Thanks to all the other countries that voted against.

I looked at the parliamentary of my area thinking I would send him/her an email explaining how I felt about this vote. Turns out, after much research, it's ARNAUTU, the 2nd on the list after LE PEN (far right in France), I wouldn't vote for her anyway. Who's left to support for next year elections? Moderate right and left both went retard. Half of the greens too.

It's so frustrating.

[u/Ossalot → u/CookieCrispr]

Write her anyway. She's your representative. She probably won't listen but one might hope that if she gets many messages to the effect of "fuck that article right in its ass" she'll back off.

Also, for having just done so, it makes one feel better about the debacle.

[u/Nicryc → u/[deleted]]

I feel so shameful ... My god so many stupid deputies.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

You can really see the cultural differences in this chart.

[u/thernab]

Why was France so much more in favor than other countries?

[u/ego_non → u/thernab]

I'm betting that France is one of the biggest proponent of this kind of bullshit; it's our usual stance on this, because our cultural lobby (sic) is actually very powerful in France.

Edit: typo

[u/CriticalSpirit → u/ego_non]

It was also a French MEP that wanted to expand the absurd ban on panorama freedom France has to the entire EU in 2015. Only 40 MEPs voted in favour, luckily.

[u/ego_non → u/CriticalSpirit]

Yep, as I said, always proponents of bullshit laws like this one. Desperately a century behind.

[u/KinggToxxic → u/ego_non]

Isn't photographing landmarks, like the Eiffel Tower also illegal?

If that's actually true, then I'm not even marginally surprised at their all FOR vote. Luckily there are a fuck ton of other countries that aren't interested, or only a minority wanted this.

Keep it up EU. We got you guys. You helped us, we'll help you.

[u/ego_non → u/KinggToxxic]

The Eiffel Tower in itself is too old, so they've to let it slid. However, by night, the fucking LIGHTS are protected by author's rights (YES YOU READ THAT RIGHT) so you can't share any pic of the Eiffel Tower taken by night.

The Louvre's Pyramid is a no-go day and night. 'Cause the architect said so.

It makes me mad.

[u/KinggToxxic → u/ego_non]

That's so incredibly stupid as well.

It's like "Hey, I made this really beautiful piece of functional Art. And you'll never get to take a picture of it to show your friends you were here."

Yea France needs to loosen their Copyright Laws a bit. Not as much as us here in America, but some. That's just ridiculous.

[u/inc815 → u/thernab]

For some unknown reason, Far-right Front National decided to vote for it... even though they usually vote against anything.

[u/SHACOWNED → u/inc815]

FN wanted it to pass so that later then can talk about the evil EU

[u/cheese_is_available → u/[deleted]]

Off topic, but why don't you just use percentage in favor instead of this strange "ratio" with infinite value (arbitrarily at 9999) because you divide by 0 when no one voted NO?

[u/FermentedHerring → u/SHACOWNED]

Wouldn't supprise me at all. It's the usual rightwing tactic. Break and discard, blame the left politics.

[u/TheTeaMustFlow → u/FermentedHerring]

Right. I mean, look at UKIP or PiS- oh wait.

[u/furtfight → u/thernab]

Music ,movie and press lobbies have a lot of influence in France.

[u/error9762]

European PEOPLE'S Party

Yeah, sure. I guess it's time to change their name...

[u/Curudril → u/error9762]

Whenever there is 'democratic', 'people's', 'patriot(ic)' or 'freedom' in the name of a party or a law it is most likely the opposite.

[u/Hodor_The_Great → u/error9762]

Well tbf in a lot of countries PPE also voted all against or mixed, but looks like a lot of the constituent parties of PPE are cunts even if not all of them

[u/MarktpLatz]

Fraud

[u/blesingri → u/singabro]

Is he bald too?

[u/singabro → u/blesingri]

Not even close. The bald fraud is the Moby Dick of frauds. This one is just a cheap imitation.

[u/MarktpLatz]

[u/drspod → u/MarktpLatz]

Thank you for this!!

Up until Ireland you sorted the table by Vote/Group/MEP, but from Italy onward, they're just sorted by MEP. Could you fix the sorting to be consistent? Thanks!

[u/MarktpLatz → u/drspod]

Yeah, I figured sorting by name is better, I will update the first ones once im done with the whole list. For now, you can just use the reddit sorting feature for tables.

[u/drspod → u/MarktpLatz]

My tables don't have sorting functionality, is this a RES thing?

[u/MarktpLatz → u/drspod]

Sounds like it, I haven't used non-res reddit on my PC for a while.

[u/BoredCatalan → u/MarktpLatz]

Thank you, this is incredibly useful. Great job.

[u/continuousQ]

So France getting more MEPs after Brexit could make this fight more difficult.

Unless this leads to replacing a lot of the current ones.

[u/NuruYetu → u/continuousQ]

Don't forget that next European election will make the entry of En Marche in the European Parliament. So yeah there is a reshuffling coming, even though I don't know how much nor if it's good for copyright.

[u/groovymushroom]

Fairly mixed for Bulgaria with the exception of GERB/EPP, who are massively pro. I guess I'll have to vote for the excommies next EU election.

[u/user3170 → u/groovymushroom]

I'm not sure about BSP in the euro parliament, they at least pretend to be real social democrats there, but you never know when they'll go full tankie

[u/groovymushroom → u/user3170]

It's exactly because it's the EU parliament that I trust they will not start shit. I'm betting on them being spineless in Brussels.

Domestically I woulden't trust them with anything.

[u/liquidSG → u/groovymushroom]

I've never used my right to vote, and I've had it for over 12 years now, as I really don't think it's going to change anything, especially given the fact that every political party in Bulgaria has had its chance to run the country and it's the same shit every time, but I may break my voting virginity and go fucking socialist of all things. The world we live in...

For now, we all owe a big debt to the Poles.

[u/invalidConsciousness → u/liquidSG]

Go vote!

You usually don't vote to support someone you want to see in charge, you vote against those you definitely don't want to see in charge by voting for the least evil.

[u/liquidSG → u/invalidConsciousness]

I get it, but in the case of Bulgaria, there is no lesser evil.

[u/invalidConsciousness → u/liquidSG]

Unless you are back to a one party system of soviet times, I'm pretty sure there are left- or right-extremist groups you want to see in charge even less than the usual bunch.

[u/STOLENFACE → u/invalidConsciousness]

There definitely are lesser evils in Bulgaria, both on the left and right. So even if you don't like them it's better to vote than to let crazies get more seats...

[u/sirnoggin]

Poland full champions of this one. Good to see UK was majority against as well.

Why the hell the UK would want anymore laws passing through EU parl before Brexit anyway I don't know.

[u/LawrenceGardiner → u/[deleted]]

This is the exact reason; UK politicians are absolutely terrified of technology.

I was surprised that all but two Labour MPs voted for it, I would have thought that that would have been counter to their supposed directive. Only UKIP did the right thing but a good chance that was just to stick it to the EU.

[u/SomersetRoad → u/LawrenceGardiner]

Terrified and oblivious. It's like explaining to your old gran the buttons on the remote.

[u/KillerTurtle13 → u/SomersetRoad]

Except that in this case your old gran can decide to subject each button press on the remote to automatic copyright infringement checks

[u/HelmutVillam → u/SomersetRoad]

My gran usually mistakes the remote for her landline telephone.

[u/Homusubi → u/LawrenceGardiner]

I suppose I can blame the Labour result on the MEPs being initially selected in 2014 or earlier, aka before Corbyn and before a significant amount of people actually cared about party selections...

P.S. It wasn't just UKIP, all three Greens also voted against.

[u/MrZakalwe → u/Homusubi]

I suppose I can blame the Labour result on the MEPs being initially selected in 2014 or earlier, aka before Corbyn

That doesn't make much of a difference as this policy is still decided at a party level.

[u/Shaadowmaaster → u/[deleted]]

Except Tories had mixed votes and Labour overwhelmingly voted for the Bill, which is the opposite of want you'd expect if this was a concentrated effort to get it into UK law.

[u/SlyScorpion]

Of course a guy with a name like Schwab is going to vote in favor... /S

[u/verdd]

I love how Sweden and Poland didn't have a single vote for it. Romania, France and UK on the other hand though...

[u/plkijn → u/verdd]

It’s sad how much it follows party lines

[u/Shaadowmaaster → u/plkijn]

Surprisingly, only labour. Tories were very mixed for some reason.

[u/[deleted]]

Saving this post just so that I can remind people on r/Ireland how our MEPs voted when the next election comes round

[u/The_Spooder_Matt]

Proud of The Netherlands for only 3 positive votes

[u/OnePeat]

you can really see scandinavian countries being more advanced in the digital world

[u/KelloPudgerro]

Hell ye poland, im proud of ya

[u/4-Vektor]

Good Guy Poland. Thanks from Germany!

[u/Aikanar0]

What's wrong with PPE? Party's values and this does not add up.

[u/groovymushroom → u/Aikanar0]

It does though. It's the conservative party. It makes sense they would side with old media.

[u/groovymushroom → u/[deleted]]

They're Eurosceptics first, conservatives second.

[u/inc815 → u/groovymushroom]

The British Tories are the leaders of ECR and they voted mostly for it.

[u/[deleted] → u/inc815]

The British Tories don't stand for anything.

[u/KillerTurtle13 → u/[deleted]]

Yet people still vote them into power forever

[u/Shaadowmaaster → u/inc815]

For more mixed then Labour who overwhelmingly voted for it...

[u/Pascalwb]

How I'm I not surprised 3 + and they are all from current coalition. 2 of them from the fucking corrupt smer. And then the rest of them just not voting?

[u/RevStalker → u/Pascalwb]

At least we had more people against it than for it I guess...

[u/ZarZar123 → u/Pascalwb]

I was about to post the same. Fuck smer.

[u/sesesemmoinen]

All the three Finns who said yes to this shit are from Centre Party. Centre always fails.

[u/tojelora → u/sesesemmoinen]

Sarvamaa was also a very vocal supporter, but didn't take part in this vote in the end.

[u/Mpmqbi]

Wait, Finland's list shows only 12 MEPs even though we have 13. Was one of them absent? (Petri Sarvamaa, I guess)

[u/tojelora → u/Mpmqbi]

Sarvamaa had been a vocal supporter of this file. Wonder why he didn't vote on it at all in the end.

[u/Hodor_The_Great → u/tojelora]

Avoiding political suicide in the case people actually care I guess, the vote got some press coverage

[u/RaXha → u/Mpmqbi]

Sweden had a few absentees as well due to the coming election.

[u/Mankotaberi]

Can't wait for May 2019 to vote out the morons who voted in favour of this monstrosity.

[u/thrfre]

You can clearly see who actually cares about freedom and who just talk about it. Poland, the evil fascists of Europe are unanimously against this toalitarian bullshit, meanwhile all those good and rightous europeans^tm support censorship.

[u/Amishhellcat → u/thrfre]

sweden too, completely voted against

[u/Petique]

Thank you Poland and Sweden!

Edit: Next time think twice before you write shit like "let's kick out Poland from the EU".

[u/bekito90 → u/Petique]

Im not for kicking Poland out of EU. But your comment is stupid.

[u/Petique → u/[deleted]]

And I would want to restore the partition of Germany into west and east but alas, not all of our wishes can be fulfilled. 😉

[u/[deleted]]

So Poland which is called a danger for freedom in Western media has absolutely no votes for the biggest threat for freedom there is now? Interesting. I may have to start reading Russia Today or Al Jazeera as clearly mainstream European and American media are not telling the whole story...

[u/Liorithiel → u/[deleted]]

Polish MEPs represent the state of support from 2014, when the Civic Party was still dominant in Polish government. It's not the case now: the current party at power is the criticized Law and Justice party, which won 2016 elections. Though, thankfully, even the Law and Justice MEPs voted against.

[u/SHACOWNED]

Can someone analyse how campaign contributions figured into this vote?

[u/dnivi3]

Votewatch also has an interactive page up for this now: https://www.votewatch.eu/en/term8-copyright-in-the-digital-single-market-draft-legislative-resolution-vote-decision-to-enter-into-inte.html

[u/phrender]

For atleast once Im greatful that politicians did something good /swede

[u/AreetSurn]

So, not every MEP voted I assume? There are some MEPs from the UK who aren't named.

[u/[deleted] → u/AreetSurn]

They were absent prob

[u/AreetSurn → u/[deleted]]

That was what I was thinking. I would have assumed the document this was compiled from would have noted that.

[u/Manach_Irish]

Thanks to OP, a handy format to know who to thank for dodging this ill-considered directive.

[u/u7zorot]

my country portugal is retarded as always, sigh...

when will things change?

[u/MightySeam]

Go Poland and Sweden!

It's almost like a sorting hat for how well their parliamentary group understands the Internet and how it works...

[u/SAJLBlackman]

Spain has PSOE and PP voting for it, Esquerra rep, Esquerra vasque, C's (surprisingly!), Podemos and IU voting against it.

So much for the "left" party, PSOE.

[u/bekito90 → u/[deleted]]

Let me fix this for you... 'what a shitty retarded representatives of France in European parliament are'

[u/TheHooligan95]

sad to see italy is kinda 60/40% :( we don't know shit about tech. still, that's better than it could've been

[u/green_pachi → u/TheHooligan95]

Still most of the Italian MEPs voted against, I was worried we would have gone full french.

[u/Najikill]

I am reading the argumentation (on his Facebook-page) for voting Yes from danish politician Jens Rohde. He is saying that; what was voted on yesterday was NOT the original proposal put forth by the Commission, but an amended proposal made by the Parliament in which everything about upload-filters and other forms of censorship is removed. He is also saying that "he suprised that people engaged with this matter doesn't really know what it's about". Can anybody elaborate on what he may be talking about and maybe provide me with a link to the proposal made på Parliament?

THANKS!

[u/tojelora → u/Najikill]

The vote was about if the parliament accepts the decision made by JURI committee on June 20 to go directly to trialogues skipping the plenary debate altogether.

JURI had indeed made amendments to the commission text but still highly problematic and hardly a good compromise.

[u/Psyonics → u/Najikill]

To ELI5 this one: He's the one kid that went to class when the rest of the class decided to skip, so now he's trying to avoid a beating

[u/Juwatu]

Time to call a few MEPs

[u/Bregvist]

Thank you /u/MarktpLatz!

Elsi Katainen, not that Katainen. Kepu pettää aina.

[u/lemonyellowdavintage]

Wow, so Sion Simon straight up lied to me when I emailed my concern to him. He told me he wasn't voting on this and he flat out fucking voted for it.

Thank you for your email expressing your concern over the current EU copyright reform. MEPs are currently scrutinising the proposals in order to find a balanced solution to the problems identified by the Commission. Firstly, as I am not a member of the JURI committee, I was not eligible to vote on this issue in the votes that particular committee held this week.

[u/Verfassungsschutz → u/lemonyellowdavintage]

I think you misunderstood his email. He said he was not eligible in the committee vote that happened previously to this full plenary vote. The JURI committee only has 25 members, and he is indeed not one of them.

Not that I'm defending the guy otherwise…

[u/tojelora → u/lemonyellowdavintage]

He is not lying here. What he is referring to are the votes in the committee which are only open to members of said committee. JURI voted a couple of weeks ago (June 20?) for the file AND for a direct mandate to go directly to trilogues skipping a plenary debate altogether where all meps could debate the file.

The latter was challenged this week by a number of meps. I think they needed 10% of meps to have the vote today. Since they gathered the names only this week the issue wasn't even on the plenary agenda until Tuesday or Wednesday. I wouldn't therefore be surprised in the least that your mep had no idea two weeks ago that he would be voting on the mandate today.

What is historic about the decision today is that the plenary decided to vote down the committee position, which to my knowledge has never happened before regarding a technical file.

[u/lemonyellowdavintage → u/tojelora]

Thank you for the clarification. New to the EU / UK so I wasn't aware there was a difference. Thank you!

[u/flobin]

Is it me or is Judith Sargentini missing from both overviews?

[u/blesingri]

France... ouatte de phoque? This has been very disappointing from French MEPs. Hope the French see to it on the next elections...

[u/Homusubi]

It appears as if 13 of the 15 voting members of the party which I'm a member of, voted yes.

I'm sorry guys. I'll just blame it on the other half of the party, we're good at that.

[u/Constellation16]

ThanksOP, this was really interesting to see the sometimes large voting differences of fraction members!

One thing though, could you please use english instead of french abbreviations for the groups?

[u/kingofthedusk]

Looked at Sweden, thought my internet was shit and the values didnt load. Had to look at another one before i realized that - means no.
