European gopherholes, Articles 11 and 13



Hello List,

If you're in Europe I'm sure you've heard of the upcoming "link tax" and copyright enforcement
proposals as detailed in EU Articles 11 and 13. 

As a UK-based gopher keeper I'm very worried about these proposals, especially as I've set my gopher up
to download dozens of newsfeeds in RSS format on a daily basis. I've tried to ensure that I get as wide a 
variety of news subjects as possible and of course I am now concerned that depending on how Article 11
is interpreted, this will be seen as a revenue-generator for a wide variety of publishers (despite the fact
that these are links, not articles). If it *is* interpreted in this way, it'll be a game-changer for me: I'll 
either have to remove a lot of my content or move the gopherhole somewhere non-European/off the
clearweb. 

Is anyone else in a similar position?
