Thread: With SOPA and PIPA dead for now, people should focus on the ACTA

More old farts trying to regulate the internet because they're bought off by the MPAA who see the internet as a threat to their outdated business model.

Wow. I wonder what'll come after ACTA. When will they realize that the internet must be kept free? At least the internet's the only place so far where there is true freedom.

These Acts, if passed, force people to consume more. With our economical crisis, the constant consuming will kill. The middle class and lower will suffer while the top fat cats try out their 10th private jet that has better torque than the last 9.

The people responsible for such legislation don't want the internet to be free. They want every ISP to police it's users and be responsible for turning over people who pirate.

This sounds retarded. If this ACTA shit is passed we might as well stop using the internet...If you by a mistake see few copyrighted pictures of a random tree with COLA sign on it you might go to jail. That sounds epic.
