[QUOTE=Septimas;24416145]We are fucked.[/QUOTE] And why does everyone automatically assume we're fucked instead of saying NO and protesting against it? ACTA?-We're fucked Next up: Censorship?- Guess we'll just accept this too and let government/corporations control what we do again.
[QUOTE=sa2fan;24416065]While the government is at it, let's turn the whole world into communism.[/QUOTE] This wouldn't happen in a communist society. This seems more like fascism to me.

There's not a whole lot we can do. [editline]05:00PM[/editline] I know guys, lets have an online petition! :downs:
BREAKING NEWS: The Government has destroyed the Internet. I can see it now...

[QUOTE=BrQ;24417354]no, acta will have the site blocked[/QUOTE] Damn I really thought an online petition would work.
[QUOTE=Mac2468;24416833]This wouldn't happen in a communist society. This seems more like fascism to me.[/QUOTE] Great to hear the correct extreme political party pinned for this one. Not enough people understand the difference between communism and fascism.
Won't Youtube, Facebook, 4Chan, and most porn sites get shut down? Won't that cause international revolts?
I sat on the tri-bomb page for 10000 refreshes, have I done enough to help yet?
[QUOTE=Gmod_Fan77;24415867]Whatever happened to free speech?[/QUOTE] Things never change. Gmod_fan is wrong... again. Free speech isn't free, get with the program.
[QUOTE=Dr Smashy;24417581]Won't Youtube, Facebook, 4Chan, and most porn sites get shut down? Won't that cause international revolts?[/QUOTE] They'll probably make some kind of exception for Facebook, and for the vast majority of users it's the only website they ever visit regularly.
For the record, the likelyhood of something like this becoming passed is why I keep every PC in my home running truecrypt system encryption. But then, I can still get two years prison time for refusing to surrender an encryption key, but oh well.
Nerds of Facepunch UNITE and develop a new, superior form of networking. ... Anyone got any cash for funding?
4chan is probably gonna make them regret like they did to AT&T

So what they gonna do? I don't see what some Nations Agreement can do on the internet, it aint like some country owns da interwebs. Or does it?
We need to get it in the trending topics on Twitter and google. Then news stations will cover it (while Fox News is supporting Glen Beck)
[QUOTE=Numidium;24418256]So what they gonna do? I don't see what some Nations Agreement can do on the internet, it aint like some country owns da interwebs. Or does it?[/QUOTE] It sounds minuscule but it more or less allows corporations to control everything about the internet. If you download so much as a copyrighted song you get fined out the ass and they can come seize your computer.

So basically, the young amateur programmer or animator will be no more; no developers could do shit without buying contracts with loads of corporations just to be able to get or produce DRM-encrusted sound and image files. Which means the end of Indie games and perhaps an unending continuation to the bland FPS shooters the industry farts out. And besides, some of us, like me, don't have computers just for games. If DRM is needed just to open and edit standard data files, I think all the enjoyment would be gone from computing.
Damm. Some stupid thing I have in firefox made tribomb page 404, well it assumed it did. So, I had 8 thousand refreshes, but yeah, still going to leave it on more.
This won't effect anything.

Also, call me out on that, MAKE MY DAY. Also people can't BE a figment of an imagination AND palpable.

I think we're all doomed. I'm going to look into job opportunities at the NSA. [url]http://www.nsa.gov/careers/[/url] [quote] "Intelligence. It's the ability to think abstractly.

I might go to the London protests and go to play my own "Copyright-Free" music of senseless beeps and boops on a large sound system, before cutting it out saying it's just been copyrighted by a man living in chiswick who has never heard it before.

Once this goes live there's going to be massive retaliation even before everyone gets targeted. I'd say before the year goes out it'll be in the United State's highest court.
I have a question for the United States; what groups will be reviewing this treaty before it is ratified? I've been hearing that since it's an international treaty, it goes straight to Obama and a two-thirds majority vote by the Senate. Do any U.S. courts get a say in this? The Supreme Court?
