Will people stop talking about how we aren't free [B]nowadays[/B]? It's always been like this if not worse (yeah the internet wasn't as regulated but I'd much rather have more freedom in the real world than online).
[QUOTE=calebc789;34360320]Ah great, first we stop two big bills, and now we got a supergiant we got to take down?[/QUOTE]
It's like a boss rush; goddamn relentless!
Well, looks like the internet is fucked, time to find something else to do with my time.
I don't want these people in charge of anything more than pushing up daisies.

Not good enough.
Even if this bill pass not only in the US, so they are going to put ~80% of the worlds population behind bars? People will just refuse to pay or whatever the sentence is.
Am I the only one that notices how a simple CMD command, this one in particular:
[code]copy /b ourfamilyphoto.jpg + Illigalmovie.mov completelyharmlessphoto.jpg[/code]
would render this COMPLETELY useless?

Throw the movie in a truecrypt container and hide that in the image
[QUOTE=S31-Syntax;34360060]So wait, correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought the other nations of the world were all "SOPA and PIPA are BAD!"

Sopa was international too

Because 700mb 100x100 jpeg is not suspicious at all.
The EU needs to don one thing for me:
Fuck Off.
It's bad enough a Bin Laden supporter and hate preacher has been allowed to stay in the UK due to his 'human rights', now this anti-piracy crap too.

Yeah, a million times easier for them to find the content.

Age of Corporate Facism ho!
Just a FYI, as I pointed out in the EU thread on supposed more rights for internet users, [b]ACTA has already passed.[/b] Obviously in the way that gave it the least amount of coverage from media and insight of citizens and organisations concerned with the trampling on freedom from the EU (What a surprise).

As I have mentioned countless of times, the undemocratic ways of the EU once again shines through. At this rate, I am truely amazed at the passivity of European citizens, and the lack of hands on response from citizens who's rights are trampled on every day, especially when it comes to the Internet and this particular bill. But I guess the mentality that the EU knows better than it's own citizens is so far spread that none actually bothers to stand up for their own rights and the freedom of the internet.
It's too bad the United States has already signed this.
Thanks, Obama.
well, once all these bills get passed there'll be massive riots anyway
[QUOTE=Jessey;34364384]well, once all these bills get passed there'll be massive riots anyway[/QUOTE]
ACTA has already been passed, as I mentioned, though, SOPA and PIPA are long dead by now, aren't they?
So the claim is that this is a "kraken" that will utterly destroy the internet and must be stopped? Well, the United States, Australia, Canada, Japan, Morocco, New Zealand, Singapore, and South Korea signed the treaty in October 2011.

Internet seems fine to me. And not in a "It hasn't happened to me." type fashion. I haven't seen gratuitous abuse of this agreement happening to anybody, anywhere. Yes, some people can't see certain Youtube videos and that's annoying and may very well come from ACTA, but it's hardly the tentacles of the monster wrapping around our throats. I'm not saying ACTA is flawless, but it hardly seems the internet destroying elder god legislation that it's being made out to be.
Why are they trying to cripple one of our greatest inventions of all time? The internet has done so much for our lives and they're trying to take us back to the dark ages :/
I thought everyone already knew about ACTA.

I mean shit, its already been passed.
Seems like you knock one down, another instantly pops up.

Because some old and very rich people who are blinded by greed and terrified of changes are willing to push humanity back a couple hundred years, since it would take morals and some effort to adapt to the (hopefully) upcoming stage of human society.
For the people saying this is no big deal, and that it has already been passed. Yes, it has been passed, but there is a new draft of the act, and that's what everyone is freaking the fuck out about.

with blackjack and hookers.
There's always the chance of a future administration repealing it.
You wicker snappers don't know how I had it back in the day . . . We used to live on farms and plantations ya' know. We were owned by a lord ya know . . . who had his knights slaughter us peasants if we tried to revolt at all. . . ya know hell we didn't get paid we didn't get paid we just got a small patch of land to farm cabbage for our own food . . . . Hell you kids have it easy back in the day I had to let my lord fuck my wife before I could or i'd be killed.
tl;dr were far from feudalism just think of it to now seriously.
