Really makes you stop and think what else is in the works. As for ACTA, this proposal has been in development since 2006, with the first major "leaks" coming in 2008 and the first official draft released in early 2010. How is it that there was not more awareness about this until now? Taking a look at at what was written in the multiple threads posted here over the past several days blasting the US over SOPA really makes many of those comments almost comical in their absurdity given the circumstances surrounding the development of ACTA, in particular the list of those who took part in it. Well it is refreshing to know that the "illusion of freedom to keep the masses complacent" extends across the pond as well.

FUCK SO PAH.

"When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down "happy". They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life.” --John Lennon

Or we could, you know, fight the problem at it's source. Originally Posted by Blznsmri

Don't get me wrong though, cutting out the governemental support is very good; but it ultimately won't stop things like this.

This is just... Sigh. Seriously. Why are some people even considering this?

let's hope 2012 is real. It seems its the only way to stop sleazy corporations from putting money in the pockets of legislators in order to get "their kind of bills" pushed through.

I don't even know how these bills could get thought upon. They should just get thrown out.

Tyrande: Well, I think our Goddess may have crafted your Gods in her spare time.

i just posted this in the other thread before it got closed, but don't most ISPs already keep your internet history stored for a certain amount of time incase the police or something needed? just curious if they actually do or not.

This is honestly even worse than SOPA from a civil liberties perspective. SOPA would allow them to shut down websites. This would allow them to get information that they have no need for by just asking for it.

I sent ya a message about it but basically yes ISPs store the info but the Government requires a warrant to get it. With this, they just ask for it and the ISP has to hand it over. Originally Posted by peggleftw

I miss when the internet was for leisure... now its just another fucking business that people are trying to control and privatize.

thanks, that explains a lot. Originally Posted by Blazer4500

Why do we keep letting people who can't distinguish the U key from the X key decide what millions of people do on the Internet?
