So, it could be worse...

EDIT: Intending to provide a more useful response now, here are links from the post above to the articles[1] and recitals[2] of the current negotiations. I'm seeing relevant platform liability language in the row labeled 239. While marked for continued discussion, the proposed language is concerning to me:

    "Licensing agreements which are concluded by online content sharing service providers
    with right holders for the acts of communication referred to in paragraph 1..., 
    shall cover the liability for works uploaded by the users of such online content sharing services 
    in line with the terms and conditions set out in the licensing agreement, 
    provided that such users do not act for commercial purposes."
