The Council of the European Union is currently reviewing a new copyright directive that could shape copright policy in all of the EU member states for years to come.

The European Parliament decided to exempt non-commercial infringement from the directive though. A recent draft of amendments for the directive reads:
"'Infringements on a commercial scale' means any infringement of an intellectual property right committed to obtain a commercial advantage; this would exclude acts carried out by private users for personal and not for profit purposes."
The Council of the European Union apparently doesn't care too much for this distinction

This isn't the first time EU politicians tried to criminalize file sharers through IPRED2. EU parliament member Janelly Fourtou proposed to just get rid of the phrase "on a commercial scale" altogether. After all, it doesn't really make any difference whether people swap a few files or operate a factory for bootleg DVDs.



Poor law making always leads to an increase in those acting outside of its terms, what about if a deal is reached with the politicians , no one will download any files and they wont continue to accept "gifts" from the media conglomerates pushing for more monopoly enforcing legislation ?
