EU Copyright: Block Everything, Never Make Mistakes, but Don't Use Upload Filter

Confused about how that would work in practice.

I took a cursory look out of interest :

I can see how Directive wording is either taken verbatim ('copy-out'), or brought into harmony with existing laws to avoid duplication.

Not sure how something could be implemented 50% (like a degree), or parts ignored completely.

Also, wouldn't any limited changes have to be approved at EU parliament level before being ratified as a Directive in the first place?

Nice, that's a very informative document. Minimum requirements and avoiding golden-plating seem to be base principles.

It's probably not a copy-paste nor a 'pick and choose' but something that has a bit of flexibility (and it also has to be harmonized with local law).
