EU Parliament Vote (September 12, 2018)
EU Lawmakers Agree Common Stand on Copyright Reforms (via Reuters)

Of the lawmakers at the assembly, 438 voted in favor while 226 were against, with 39 abstentions. The next step is negotiations with the European Commission and the 28 EU countries to reconcile their different positions before updating the existing copyright laws.
A majority of the lawmakers had in July rejected the tough approach proposed by a key committee tasked by the Parliament to look into the issue.

From Wired:

Today’s vote is not the end of the story, though: every amendment approved today will have to undergo another round of behind-closed-doors negotiations between EU politicos and EU member states, before going again through a vote in January 2019. The meme war is far from over.

From The Guardian:

After two years of debate, members of the European parliament will vote on Wednesday on the legislation, which could change the balance of power between producers of music, news and film, and the dominant internet sites that host their work.
Proposed in 2016 to update copyright law for the age of Facebook and Google, the directive has unleashed a ferocious lobbying war. Lawmakers have been bombarded with millions of emails and thousands of calls, many based on standard scripts written by lobbyists.
[Clip]
Amid last-minute writing and rewriting of amendments, the final outcome can’t be predicted. The proposals were rejected by the European parliament in July, despite earlier support in a relevant committee.
