Yes , same thing as SOPA (a bit different ) and it get signed by the people who said : WE DONT SUPPORT SOPA , and guess what, thats what politicans are. There are petitions that you can fill up such as this one https:// w w w . a c c e s s n o w . o r g /page/s/just-say-no-to-acta People fight for you freedom on the internet also buy a guy fawkes(vendetta) mask and go on the streets with a pirate flag in your hand !
Not the biggest fan of the whole parading around in the Guy Fawkes mask and wielding a pirate mask. But I can take a moment to sign a petition. Sure.
What? was it really passed by the US already? or is this nonsense again. I see that it was passed in Ireland but see nothing about the US
I was just about to pen a thread, but I'll stick to post this here: http://www.pcworld.in/news/sopas-big-brother-acta-signed-eu-nations-61722012 Romania, Finland, France, Ireland, Italy, Portugal, Greece and most of the EU nations signed today or yesterday, ACTA. Wtf??? How the fuck is this supposed to work? I still can't believe that this can actually work, internet's age is already too old to be handled like that.
2006 initiated in Japan. That means, Americans will no longer watch anime It's hard for me to believe that this would actually work, especially in my country. Actually there is no 'especially'... everywhere is the same
Its signed by 22 eu countries 2 days ago and voting for or against it happens in summer in EU parlament , and about US .. obama decides that
Obama already signed it,but the Supreme court can overturn what he did. So he doesn't actually have final say in it.
Well ofcourse but thats why i respect pirate party in sweden and germany with their succes in elections Those kind of things gotta happen in all countries
Latvia has just signed ACTA as well. The funny thing is - no one knew about it, it wasn't even announced at all. Wonder how many other countries signed it that we don't know about.
The standard pattern of politicians in the pocket of corporate or special interests has been to sneak everything past the public quietly, or else think the cover metaphors they use for their bills will intimidate the opposition from blocking it. "What, you don't like the Patriot Act, are you unpatriotic or something?" Or, "you're against a federal takeover of education? But the bill is called No Child Left Behind! Surely you don't want to leave a child behind, now do you?" With SOPA the "anti-piracy" canard was seen through quickly, and so many forces across the web brought visibility to the bill's real agenda, that it caught the establishment by surprise. Clearly the agenda was to erect a "forest" of overlapping law that reinforced each other to crush internet freedom, but with the push back of SOPA each bill can still be stopped. What is needed is not just reactive efforts to stop this or that, but a constitutional amendment that expansively protects internet speech and privacy from the copyright cartel.
