JURI, European Parliament's legal affairs committee, voted today to approve article 11, a new neighbouring right in the EU Copyright Directive for news publishers to seek payment for reuse of snippets of articles, in a narrow 13:12 vote.
It also voted in a more controversial measure, article 13 of the same Directive, intended to plug the user-generated content (UGC) loophole YouTube enjoys by obliging Google to take measures to avoid repeat infringing uploads.
