This can really be a death knell for DeviantArt, according to a TorrentFreak article, The Copyright Office will soon require all websites including DeviantArt to have upload filters similar to the European Union's Article 13 and 17. So If you try to upload fan art of your favorite cartoon or anime, it will get blocked. This is very similar to YouTube's upload filters. It will likely break dA along with social media outlets. Mandatory upload filters will put an end to game emulation and archiving. The Internet Archive that houses websites that are defunct, are opposing the Copyright Office's proposal to impose mandatory upload filters. Mandatory Upload filters are so flawed, it could put indie music artists and independent artists at risk because upload filters can mistakenly block an individual's original art or musical composition because they hold the copyright to their original work.
