ACTA - Say goodbye to the internet

[QUOTE="12345678ew"]

it'll never happen. the good people of /b/ will crush this treaty like a bug if it ever has a chance to threaten their hang-out.

If this comes into effect in the US I will fly all the way over to DC and storm the white house, the house of reps, and senate and hunt down all responsible for letting this BS legislation pass.

They better ban and outlaw firearms to people before they pass this because I am pretty sure, I would hope, that if it does, Gun and ammo sales will go up. Its about time we have another revolution.

Are you kidding me? The second this thing is actually passed and the government try to start this thing is the moment free speech dies.

Hopefully those old white politics die already D:

Why do I somehow feel this will mean very little in the long run and nothing will change very much? Maybe that has something to do with the fact I've seen this kind of stuff again and again and again. Yet nothing ever seems to change dramatically.

The internet isn't going anywhere any time soon.

[QUOTE="tocool340"][QUOTE="EMOEVOLUTION"] Are you serious? Those people have no power. They are nothing but thugs on the internet.

Not to mention the successes they've been having with Project Greenwave. They've managed to shut down or at least crash sites run by the Iranian government that show pictures of protestors in an effort to identify and hunt them down.

Ah man this will release all the nerds outside increasing competition for real life things.Candy-Star

I'd wager the individual countries to follow any joint agreement as well as they have followed other agreements in the past, which is to say, barely at all.guynamedbilly

Not even Canada can dodge this bullet. I'm still proud to be Canadian.

Not gonna´ happen, atleast not in any effectively uniform way. Too difficult to enforce, if not borderline impossible. Blast it with piss tbh.

The problem is, once a government's signed onto this treaty, they have the legal right to selectively enforce it. It's not too hard to imagine them using the law to quell speech which they deem to be a threat. Further, international treaties supercede domestic laws. Even if your government doesn't strictly enforce the legislation in the treaty, a foreign corporation has the legal right to step in and sue you right into the poorhouse. A simple look into what Monsanto has done to farmers in Canada and Mexico under the guise of NAFTA regulations is all the cautionary tale you need.

Wow, this sucks. I'd be willing to go to war to fight this act.

Great. War against whom, exactly? And in which army?

IF they take away the way the internet is now, there will be riots.... if not i will start them

Don't think for a second that this is about "copyright protection". This is about controlling people's thoughts by axing the only free major form of media. Without the internet we are all seriously vulnerable. If this happened I would certainly protest. In the mean time we all should do whatever in our power to make sure this doesn't ever happen.

This is the realization of what started in 2001 when half the world started revving up the engines of the police state, suprised it took this long.

we need this guy

Other than that, Im just tired of paying $65 a month for my broadband(including $14 cable tv), too much just to have the internet..... also I heard on the radio yesterday that Microsoft gonna make a new OS for the government that they can spy on people if we break the law. ....but whatever.Dogswithguns

The government can already do that, and has been doing that for a long, long time. If anything we should be glad that they're switching to a Windows based setup.

FBI/CIA agent: "Alright, time to monitor the computer activities of these five targ..."
Paperclip: "Hello! I see you're trying to spy on someone. Would you like me to help you set up a wiretap or PC monitoring program?"
Agent: "****ing annoying thing, no for the 9000th time!"
*two hours later*
Agent: "This is great! I've got some real dirt on this guy! All that's left is just finish this recording and send it off an...."
