If (hell, when ... they don't care what the people think) the EU passes Article 13. a copyright law, it will end up banning even linking to copyrighted material (even with permission) thus basically shutting down all but the big media web sites in Europe. But because of the way the internet works there will be no way to prevent the automated systems they'll put in place to enforce this from impacting the Internet in the US and Asia, so it will either cause the rest of the world to have to firewall the EU segment of the internet or more likely just impose their draconian laws on the rest of the world by default (which the big tech companies want to do anyway as it eliminates all but their voices).
