Did Article 13 get passed?

As of July 2, 2019, Article 13 has not been passed. The European Parliament is set to vote on it in September, but it’s unclear if it will be passed at that time. It’s a highly controversial piece of legislation, and there is a lot of debate surrounding it.

Critics argue that Article 13 will stifle creativity and innovation online, as well as censor free speech. They also claim that it will lead to the formation of internet monopolies, as only large companies will be able to comply with the new regulations. Supporters of the bill say that it will protect copyright holders and prevent piracy. They argue that article 13 is essential for ensuring a level playing field for all content creators online.

It’s still unclear what exactly will happen if Article 13 is passed. There is a possibility that some parts of the internet could become censored, or that online services could become more expensive. However, it’s also possible that the bill won’t have much effect at all. Only time will tell what impact Article 13 will have on the internet as we know it.

If you recently got charged for AVG, there are a few potential reasons why. Maybe you signed up for a free trial and forgot to cancel it before the end date. Or, you could have installed a free version of AVG that later expired and prompted you to upgrade to the paid version. Whatever the case may be, we’re here to help clear things up.

If you installed a free version of AVG:

When you download and install a free product, it will automatically begin running in “trial mode.” This means that the product is fully functional but only for a limited period of time (usually 30 days). Once the trial period ends, your product will no longer work unless you activate it with a valid license key.

If your intention was to use the product long-term without paying, we recommend uninstalling it when the trial expires instead of allowing it to continue prompting you to upgrade. This way, you won’t accidentally click on anything and wind up being charged for something you didn’t want in the first place.

If you signed up for a free trial:
Some of our products offer free trials that require registration using your credit card or other payment information. These trials typically last for either 7 or 30 days depending on which product is being trialed. At the end of the trial period, if you don’t cancel or convert to a paid subscription, we automatically charge the credit card on file so that your service doesn’t lapseor experience any interruptions . If this is surprise to you , please give us call as soon as possible at 1-888-824-8788 so we can assist further . Note : You will not be able see any indication within your software that payment will be collected at end of trail since this would defeat purpose having “free” trial in first place!”

Hola VPN was removed due to the extension containing malware. Google blocked the extension in September 2021, which resulted in the removal from the Chrome Web Store. New users are unable to download the extension.

There has been a lot of talk lately about the European Parliament’s proposed directive on copyright in the digital single market. One of the most controversial aspects of the directive is Article 13, which would require online platforms to take measures to prevent the upload of copyrighted content. This has led to fears that it could stifle freedom of expression and creativity online. But does Article 13 affect the United States?

The short answer is no. The directive would only apply to member states of the European Union. However, there is a possibility that it could indirectly impact American internet users. That’s because many popular platforms such as YouTube and Facebook are based in the United States, and they would likely need to comply with Article 13 in order to continue doing business in Europe.

It’s also worth noting that America already has its own version of Article 13: section 512 of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). Section 512 requires online service providers to take steps to prevent infringing material from being uploaded onto their platform. In practice, this often means implementing Content ID systems or similar solutions that can automatically detect and remove copyrighted content.

So while Article 13 may not directly affect America, it could indirectly have an impact on how we use the internet. We will be watching closely as this Directive progresses through the European Parliament and seeing what implications it may have for us here in the States.

One of the advantages of VPNs is that they allow secure communications over a public network, which can replace a private frame-relay network. The Internet provides connectivity among different offices, and the VPN provides security for the data travelling between them.
