Major Infighting Breaks Out Between Artists, Labels & Publishers Over Article 13: Written February 11, 2019
ReplyDeleteLast week Article 13 was agreed on in France and Germany to apply on all European for-profit platforms. That meant it would apply to all apps and websites in Europe. Many entertainment organizations criticized this bill including the music industry because it would harm European producers and creators. It would harm creators because if they didn’t own rights to certain objects, songs, characters, or anything else they could get sued and pay a fine. Sometime this week the EU will hold a meeting to vote on this final agreement.

Europe is really looking like the weak link in global economy. Industrial production over the 19-nation euro is falling fast. Most people are not very concerned about it right now and action may not need to be taken. It is expected even though there is a drop in economics it should go back to where it was. France is a large consumer and if they stop or slow down and Germany stops producing, then there is a problem.

ReplyDeleteFebruary 14th, 2019
On Thursday, February 7th archeologists discovered a fresco painting of a Greek mythology figure named Narcissus. Narcissus is said to have grown in love with his own reflection in a pool of water. Some stories say he sat there, watching himself, forever while others say that the gods turned him into a flower. No matter what the story is, people were amazed to see a painting that had been so well saved during the disaster at Pompeii in 79 A.D.. Other pieces of art were found through out area as well. The place where these things are being discovered is very likely to fall apart, but archeologists are trying to locate all the artifacts they can before that happens.
