O Lápis Azul agora é outro

De quem claro? UE. E porquê? Devido às criancinhas claro, pelo menos foi assim que saiu na comunicação social britânica. A cotovia pode muito bem deixar de poder pôr estes vídeos músicais amadores, e ter de por coisas do género de Britney Spears e Tokio Hotel, ou pior, a banda sonora dos morangos com açúcar.

THE Government is seeking to prevent an EU directive that could extend broadcasting regulations to the internet, hitting popular video-sharing websites such as YouTube.

The European Commission proposal would require websites and mobile phone services that feature video images to conform to standards laid down in Brussels.

Ministers fear that the directive would hit not only successful sites such as YouTube but also amateur “video bloggers” who post material on their own sites. Personal websites would have to be licensed as a “television-like service”.

Viviane Reding, the Media Commissioner, argues that the purpose is simply to set minimum standards on areas such as advertising, hate speech and the protection of children.

Afinal a banda sonora dos morangos com açucar também podemos porque é amador.
