Title: SOPA, PIPA, ACTA, & H.R. 1981 Vs Internet Freedom
Post by: Silver Knight on 07-02-2012
SOPA, PIPA, ACTA, & H.R. 1981 Vs Internet Freedom (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8w4MmEtpMo#ws)
SOPA and PIPA may not be likely to pass soon but internet freedom is still under attack. "The Anti-Counterfeit Trade Agreement (ACTA) is an international treaty, of sorts, that can take away your Internet access. H.R. 1981 (PDF link), the Protecting Children from Internet Pornographers Act of 2011 (PCIC), aims to have your entire Internet history recorded, saved and used against you....".* Ana Kasparian and Cenk Uygur discuss on The Young Turks.

I am on a demo against ACTA on the 10.2 here in germany with some friends.

We're going to hand out flyers with other anonymous people and teach them folks about ACTA.

I sent a letter to my local mp and organise stuff through HGN. If you haven't done anything, do your part! Your internet and freedom needs you.

My question is how many of you actually give a fuck about free speech vs. how many of you are just annoyed you might have a higher chance of being caught stealing shit.

Get mad for the right reasons.

Doesn't ACTA make people pay licenses for anything? I think that would be pretty bad for farmers, since genetically modified plants pollen would carry over to non-genetically modified farm, making one sprout become genetically modified, thus "violating copyrights" and making the farmer pay for the genetically modified plant which he didn't want anyway. And when one sprout becomes genetically modified, more would follow it's steps.

It seems like these acts will never pass, or will be removed shortly after over and over again, but the government will just keep making new ones trying to pass them. Eventually, they're going to run out of clever names.

Uhhh, well, we in Poland have a lying Prime Minister who supposedly knew jack shit about ACTA even being talked about in our Parliament. Funny part is the Anons published a document about ACTA and how it's being secretly signed with his own sign on it.

Actually they're debating whether sign it or not, because the Polish protest was the biggest one and the leading party will lose in the next elections if they will sign ACTA.
