ACTA. Worse than SOPA. [Discussion]

So, SOPA's pretty much been canceled, right? So it's all good, then.

NOPE.

Meet ACTA.

It's a conspiracy, I tell you.
It goes like this:
Countries cover it up.
Requests for disclosure denied.
USA directs everyone's attention to SOPA.
???
PROFIT!

'What is ACTA?

Since Spring 2008, the European Union, the United States, Japan, Canada, South Korea, Australia as well as a few other countries have been secretly negotiating a trade agreement aimed at enforcing copyright and tackling counterfeited goods (Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement). Specifically, leaked documents show that one of the major goal of the treaty is to force signatory countries into implementing anti file-sharing policies under the form of three-strikes schemes and net filtering practices.

At a time when important debates are taking place on the need to adapt copyright to the digital age, this treaty would bypass democratic processes in order to enforce a fundamentally irrelevant regulatory regime. It would profoundly alter the very nature of the Internet as we know it by putting an end to Net neutrality.'
-- stopacta.info
This Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement, negotiated in secret, would:

- turn Internet operators into a private copyright police.
- impose harsh and unfair penalties on users and consumers.
- harm access to medicines and to essential knowledge in poor countries. (??)
- inhibit innovation.
- establish new anti-democratic policy-making that bypass parliaments.

So that's why megaupload went down.

Ever used megaupload? Oh, look, they have your info now.

At this rate, this will be a cover up for something much bigger.

Heh.

Idiots.

I wonder what they were smoking when they made the conclusion media was important enough to sacrifice freedom of individuals worldwide.

Proud to be an American.

Yeah, well, you know that's just like, uh, your opinion, man.

What's this?
Oh, that's right, even more privacy violations by having your ISP keep record of what you've done for 18 months.
I guess it's just now occurring to the government that the internet is an endless supply of everything. Knowledge is power. Restrict the knowledge, remove power. Democracy being power to the people? What's that?

This makes me proud to be Australian...

A little disconcerting though, is the way that this will become an international issue and MY internet is going to be controlled by people I didn't have ANY input into voting. :/
