    They will if May gets the sequence right.

    Put through a vote for No Deal first. Assumptions are that Parliament will not vote for No Deal as this is too damaging to the country. If this is found to be true in a parliamentary vote, then it is off the table.

    By then we’re at Christmas. There is no alternative - legally, we exit the EU on March 29 regardless of whether there is a signed WA or not, and if there is not a signed WA then there is No Deal, which Parliament have voted against....

    There is literally no other deal on the table. Dress it up in something fancy, put some lipstick on it, and it will be forced through Parliament.

    The other alternative is another referendum. But a referendum on what? With No Deal removed by Parliament, there are only two alternatives - Deal, or Remain. A referendum requires legislation and preparation which will take us past Mar 29, so it also requires unanimous agreement from the EU 27 to extend the A50 deadline.

    Assuming all that happens, what do the politicians then campaign for? Remain? They’ve spent the last 2 years trying to make us all believe they are Leavers. The Deal? They can’t vote for it themselves, so they’re not likely to campaign for this.

    Parliament have snookered themselves. This WA is all that we’ve got.

    Maybe he was referring to the John Lennon song ....

    "Imagine there's no countries
    It isn't hard to do
    Nothing to kill or die for
    And no religion, too
    Imagine all the people
    Living life in peace..."

    Then again, he's a Brexiter so he likes the idea of countries and boundaries to keep people tied to where they were born, rather than humans sharing the world together. He, like many, are happy to be controlled by our overlords based on some arbitrary lines drawn on a map.

    Nope that will be gone as well because it is youtube who are responsible - in fact because I have posted these videos here CUK will be responsible.

    And so no body is going to put anything online for fear of breaching copyright

    And so the only channels you will get are the official ones run by the government which will be telling you what they want you to believe, what they want you to think and what you are allowed to do.

    Brexit may not make everything better tomorrow but it is better than the future offered by the EU.
    FFS, you really are scared of your own shadow aren't you? Grow some, you might start to enjoy life more!

    As for copyright theft, which is what your link is really about, let's spin it slightly. Let's assume you're smart enough to build a piece of software (I'm assuming you won't need SQL skills for these as you showed on another thread that these are lacking ... I digress) and people want to buy this. You sell it to some users, then you find out that one of these users has taken your software and is re-selling it to others but that you are not seeing any profit from this. You haven't given this user permission. Would you be OK with this? Go on, answer truthfully, then explain why music artists or others should accept the same.

    With reasoning like this I can see why you voted Brexit

    I repeat my question, and make it even simpler, since you chose to avoid answering it: do you think theft is perfectly acceptable?

    Well, no. Where copyrighted material has been stolen without the copyright owner's permission, then why do you have a problem with it being refused?

    If someone creates/owns a piece of media, it only takes a couple of seconds to apply a creative commons copyright to it... When we share, everyone wins - Creative Commons
    Any artist knows that.

    When he talks about "creators" who use other material - like putting up a video and using music recorded by a band, he's talking about the theft of copyrighted material. Snowflakes don't like that term, they say that it is increasing the exposure of the artist - no it isn't. It's associating the artist with the thief's brand. When he their monetises his video, how much of it does he give to the artist?
