PETITION: Just say no to ACTA
-----------------

Tell your family, tell your friends, help spread the word, this one is even worse than SOPA!
When is enough enough?
 
I can't help but wonder if ACTA could affect websites such as this one. If not, then it may still be a step in that direction.

You can bet this website will be one of the first things to go. If ACTA is about anti free speech, then this one will go because we are talking freely about drugs which they don't like. Plus extracting classified level 1 narcodics.... that's a no no...
plus look at us, we are talking about and taking mind altering drugs which might clue us in to the corruption of society and give us the power to make change!
Oh that wouldn't be good...

So, yeah... pretty much, this site will be toast!
 
They should also make an act that an ISP is required to notify the authorities on users with suspicious browsing activity. Some freedoms might be further diminished (like privacy) but that wont harm honest citizens, only potential terrorists and big drug bosses. It seems to compliment ACTA well.
 
I can't stop but wonder...where do these people come from?! Is this the new trend? Shutting down the internet? If so, how can 39 countries sign a "secret" treaty and get away in such a manner? How about a worldwide public announcement letting the people know how these assholes are operating...if indeed it's as such. That should clearly tell them they need to back off, because we're still together in this.
 
we will then be a part of the "dark internet". you will need to know the direct path to visit dmt nexus... we will be the 3l33t... stealth, unique with paths you can only access through dmt spice travel.

I can see how without context and at least a basic understanding of how the internet works, average joe/jane might be persuaded.

Are they airing this on television, or is it just a youtube vid?



These are testing times, the future of the internet is at stake here.
 
I honestly don't know, it was just one of the vids in the side bar on YouTube that I clicked on... They could at least redistribute all those (!!!) counterfeit goods to needy people like homeless, single parents etc, but something tells me the are more interested in protecting their big business buddies...

Can't say I trust the guy in the vid, he looks like a wrongun to me...
 
Why ACTA is so mercilessly pursued

These bastards don't represent the people! Outrageous, the level that things have come to. The insolence and boldness of even trying to pass shit like SOPA/PIPA/ACTA.

This is serious people, for all the propaganda about inovation happening only when tightly constrained by rules and regulations, this is bullshit. Look how far the internet has come, all the information, media, and time that millions of people have put in. Without many restrictions. This is what freedom really looks like and it may become a distant memory.

The next generation could grow up not knowing how it's like to have a free internet, they will assume it's normal to be spied on 24/7 - and even if they notice something's off, it'll be a hell of a juggernaut to battle by then.

We owe it to ourselves and those who come next to stop this madness!

Who's against ACTA?

"01/02/2012 - In the past few days, the EU Commission has been engaging in an aggressive campaign to present ACTA as a legitimate agreement. By doing so, it engages in the same misinformation techniques that it says it seeks to tackle."

"ACTA will continue to circumvent democracy

In the future, ACTA's scope could also be easily expanded through the “ACTA committee”. The latter will have authority to interpret and modify the agreement after it has been ratified, and propose amendments. Such a parallel legislative process, which amounts to signing a blank check to the ACTA negotiators, would create a precedent to durably bypassing parliaments in crucial policy-making, and is unacceptable in a democracy. This alone should justify that ACTA be rejected.

(Thank you, Poland!)

It's funny how when this happened in Australia no one cared...Good thing that there are some people with some computer skills that managed to unveil the behind the curtains discussions of ACTA.
 
Article: Central EU continues to oppose ACTA

TFA said:
"The Czech government suspended the ratification process of the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement, ACTA, said Prime Minister Petr Necas today. The government wants to further analyze the issue. There were a number of public demonstrations against ACTA in several Czech towns, and some Czech Euro MP's oppose ACTA as being 'completely wide of the mark'. Earlier, Poland announced its intention to suspend the ratification process as well. In the meantime, the website of the ruling Czech Civic Democratic Party was attacked and defaced by Anonymous who also publicly released personal data of the party's members."
