SOTM update (and a small rant)

I talked to my contact at ChessBase about the implications of the new EU copyright directive, should it be also upheld in the Spring 2019 election. Even if the directive - which I oppose, as it is a horrible blow for the rights of the free press and would essentially enforce for example Google to not link to any news websites anymore on its search engine and Google News (why should they pay money for it if they can just unlink media that try to blackmail them?) - is passed, the future of SOTM is safe.
