* Save the Internet! Help stop ACTA before it is too late *

ACTA - a global treaty - could allow corporations to censor the Internet. Negotiated in secret by a small number of rich countries and corporate powers, it would set up a shadowy new anti-counterfeiting body to allow private interests to police everything that we do online and impose massive penalties -- even prison sentences -- against people they say have harmed their business.

Europe is deciding right now whether to ratify ACTA -- and without them, this global attack on Internet freedom will collapse. We know they have opposed ACTA before, but some members of Parliament are wavering -- let's give them the push they need to reject the treaty. Sign the petition -- we'll do a spectacular delivery in Brussels when we reach 500,000 signatures!

Spread the word about this to as many as you can! Organize peaceful demonstrations in your city, and participate in them!

Actually, I'm not, but I suppose I don't mind being mistaken for it.

I'm sure I might be, in proper ways, in the near future, with how the world is developing.

A sticky! Good that this is taken so seriously, on this forum. This would be one of the first forums to go down, if all this becomes reality, I'm sure. :/ Oh, by the way, SOPA/PIPA now continues under another, updated law; HR 1981 'Protecting Children from Internet Pornographers'. Such a classic method to be sure to get a law through; just throw in 'protect' and 'child' or 'children', and preferredly also something relating to sex, and the brainless majority will find a law good or acceptable, and the rest won't dare to object it for fear of being ostracized.

I was explaining to someone that it would mean our forum going down when this post first happened.

I do think it's unlikely it'll be passed, but the more attention it gets, the more we have a chance.

Well, as for SOPA, what I posted, before, sure wasn't enough. For the time being, a copy of it called OPEN has also emerged, instead. =_= Plus the update of that other law I mentioned, and PIPA will just be amended (probably just with more clever wording). This time, with OPEN, Google, Facebook, Twitter and many more are supporting it.
