It's been voted down by the European Parliment.

It hasn't been voted down entirely. It has merely been postponed so they can wait out the protests.
Fixed that for you.
Thanks. Silly me.
I'm not familiar with EU politics as a whole, but I'd read that every part of this bill besides the two problematic articles was fine and that updating copyright law was going to get done regardless. So, maybe they actually want some time to excise the evil and then pass it? I'd like to believe that.

Yes. Such thing will never pass, despite being supported by the Commission. The EU Commission is where all the GAFA went with suitcases full of money to actively lobby in favour of this literal censorship. This is why the Commission supported it. But it turns out that the Parliament is actually made of sane members, not on the payroll of those cancerous companies. And the Parliament has the final word. Freedom of speech and me making memes based on random images will carry on :]
May I ask where your optimism comes from? Not many EU citizens chimed in on any forum I visited, and here in the US, I was quite nervous that it might have a chance.
