Hi everyone, just though I should warn you about a dangerous bill the U.S. govenment is thinking of adopting. It's the Acta law. Here's what one of my friends on another site told me about it;
"ladaliel" said:the new acta law is sort of a dmca on steroids. basically, if someone even thinks you have copyright material on your computer, they tell the isp, isp shuts off your internet, and without a warrant, they can go into your web history and see hat sites you been to and what you have downloaded.it has not gone into affect yet, and is in talks with a few of the world leaders including the US, UK, Japan, and i think Russia and China.
also, isnt this sort of unconstitutional?
Here's the wikipedia article if you need more information; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-Counterfeiting_Trade_Agreement#ISP_cooperation
And here's an online petition against teh Acta; http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/allagainstacta/
I've also heard that other countries are also planning similar laws. If you want to fight this infringment on your constittutional rights, then please sign this petition, spread the word, link this in other forums you're frequenting. This law must not pass!
Thank you. (and yeah, I know, it's weird when I'm getting serious...) kalajel said:Anyhow, I beleive that the real logical conclusion to all this is that I'm so darn cool, other people want to be me on other forums!
98% of the internet nation has a Myspace. If you're part of the 2% that can resist stupid fads, copy and paste this into your sig.
