Hey dudes, dudettes and dudles!
The battle is won, but the war isn't over. Article 11 and article 13 were officially rejected and the Copyright Directive has been sent back to the drawing board and will return in September from 10th to 13th, revised.

Highlights from the article:
"318 MEPs voted against the draft law, compared to 278 in favor."
This might seem like a lot... but if just 40 MEPs had voted in favor, we would have lost and it would be over. Let's help make sure all the MEPs understand how negatively this affects millions of people.
"The legislation now returns to the drawing board, before being sent for a second vote in September."
BE READY TO CONTINUE FIGHTING!
"Today, Reda hailed the vote as “great success,” but said campaigners needed to “keep up the pressure” if they wanted a permanent victory."
"The rejection of the Copyright Directive will be a relief to US tech giants, who would have incurred serious costs to adapt to the ruling."
So, yeah, Americans? Please start caring a little bit more. Your fellow Europeans were roaring with you when Net Neutrality was roaring. Please help us now. I can't count how many stupid, selfish comments I've seen from American people who said they didn't care because it didn't affect them. Well, it does, smart ass. In more ways than you think. So fight with us.
Here's also a thing if you're still not convinced: Once something has been allowed in one continent... it's more likely to spread to others. So Net Neutrality is more likely to happen if Copyright Directive happens in Europe. So, if you really don't want to help Europeans, think of it as you helping yourself.
