well fellas, ain't tryin to be the man that wants to break all of ya'll bubbles, but this here A.C.T.A. is what them folks at the E.U. are tryin to get everyone to sign. ya'll ain't having the slightest idea on what A.C.T.A. is? take the rules of S.O.P.A. and that there P.I.P.A. and put them two bills together, times 10. in this here article , these are some of the stuff that A.C.T.A. would do : "How ACTA will affect you
The sheer absurdity of ACTA lies very little in its clandestine negotiation process. ACTA’s usurpation of the domestic laws of all of its signers results in massive violations of the civil liberties of the citizens of those nations.
Customs officials at airports, border check points, and various other locations will now be able to, under “international law”, search through your MP3 players, laptops, iPads, cell phones, and a host of other devices in order to find violations of copyright law and intellectual property theft. This means that customs agents will sift through your iPod playlist for illegally downloaded music and through your laptop for illegally downloaded movies.
Internet Service Providers (ISPs) are immune from legal action for invasions of privacy, which will occur under ACTA. ISPs will be able to release your web browsing records to governments and corporations–both foreign and domestic–leaving their customers helpless against this gross violation of their privacy.
ACTA would criminalize violations that are currently considered civil or monetary violations. Instead of going to civil court for downloading a new song and facing thousands of dollars in fines, you are now facing hard prison time.
If your iPhone has been jailbroken, you’re a criminal.
Are you a farmer or someone concerned about corporate patenting of organisms? Well, Monsanto’s lawsuits against poor farmers now have international legal backing. If you haven’t heard already, Monsanto has been patenting seeds and suing farmers who have had their genetically-modified seed blow into their patch of land."
so yeah, government can see EVERY thing ya'll doin on the internet and all that stuff, and ya'll wanna know the REALLY, REALLY scary part? its already signed by the u.s. only a matter of time now...

But surely there have to be large proponents within the US itself and across the the EU that are fundamentally against ACTA. Sweden springs to mind as they have set a presedence for free distribution of media spanning film and music across the net. I just cant imagine this act going unaposed if its formation is now public knowledge. But maybe i am asking the wrong question.
What the hell am I, and the rest of us on the Net gonna do about this mess? What can we do? Where can we find out more and who should we seek out?
I hope you can reply soon. You sound as invested in the opposition of this bill as any one who values their civil rights and social liberties does.

Oh no, the article itself is easy to understand, but it's difficult to discuss when two-thirds of the discussion is typed in Southern drawl. |
