The European Parliament is expected to vote Wednesday on a copyright proposal that has pitted artists including Paul McCartney against tech heavyweights like Google (GOOGL) and Facebook (FB).
European lawmakers have been considering how to overhaul copyright rules to ensure that publishers and artists are fairly compensated when their work appears in Google searches and on YouTube.
The draft law is the latest example of the European Union taking a tough line with the tech industry. Sweeping EU rules on personal data came into effect in May, and EU regulators hit Google with a record $5 billion antitrust fine in July.
Lawmakers will consider scores of amendments to the copyright legislation on Wednesday.
"[It] takes an unprecedented step towards the transformation of the internet from an open platform for sharing and innovation, into a tool for the automated surveillance and control of its users," web inventor Tim Berners-Lee and Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales warned in a June letter to a top EU official.

Kennedy said that he believes alcohol firms should enter the cannabis sector in order to hedge against the growth of cannabis. Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ: TSLA) is under scrutiny this morning. The electric car manufacturer said that the Justice Department has requested documents around the recent batch of tweets sent by CEO Elon Musk about plans to take his company private. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has also sent subpoenas to Goldman Sachs and Silver Lake, which have acted as advisers to and evaluated Tesla's goal of going private.

It is evident that Apple's self-driving auto program may be much more real than it can seem. The high number of test cars on the roads, patents, and partnerships with the biggest automakers like Volkswagen (OTCPK:VLKAY) (OTCPK:VLKAF) (the news on that came in on May 23) mean the solution can become ready for the mass market in the coming years. However, this is only one of the reasons to stay long AAPL. The corporation has successfully established several other very promising lines of business which generate a significant amount of revenue and help Apple reduce its reliance on the smartphone market.
