    True, but with ACTA in place, there will be pretty much no chance that a stronger bill would be put into place. So I guess that in the long term, this could be seen as a good thing as the lesser of two evils

    There is no good things involved in cases like this and it's not something where one should pick lesser of evils of anything. It's a simple no.

    There is no reason for us to accept either.

    May be the lesser evil, but to be honest, it's still evil.

    I'd say this is getting fucking ridiculous, but we're far beyond that point now.

    are you high or an idiot? ACTA in place therefore no stronger bill? do you not know how law making works or are you some delusional nut case that thinks laws are never strengthened or that a series of laws that reinforce or deal with the same concept wouldnt be introduced? why the hell on earth do you think ACTA would be the end of it? WHY? do you even know what precedent means? it means that once something has become law you can make it law again or introduce something similar to it which means that establishing a precedent means you can make a lot more laws once the early "lesser evil" has gone through

    I am fully aware of this. But I tend to like to look at the positive sides of things, even with things as invasive and crude and industry-biased as these kinds of bills

    Everyone who feels strongly about this issue needs to remain vigilant. Regardless of whether it passes or not, it is going to re-emerge in different forms in an attempt to get through the system.

    Frankly, I don't want either of these evils, I don't care if one is lesser, it is still something that would be detrimental to my, your, and everyone else's internet.

    Do not want.

    Well we all knew it would rear its ugly head once more. As always lets protest and make it apparent we don't want silly stuff like this passing.

    The fact that he/she even responded to your comment after you verbally attacked him/her instead of attacking his/her argument is beyond me.
    Your greed, your foolishness has brought you to this end.

    If you pick the lesser of two evils, you are still picking an evil.
