You heard me right.

TL;DR: We're dealing with an international trade agreement some countries have already agreed on. It's for enforcing copyright and stopping knockoffs, but it was written in secret. Basically, they tried to fuck us over on a worldwide scale. It's up for vote in Europe soon, so start protesting as fast as you fucking can.
ACTA is sopa on roids and raping your family.
Its ok, Ireland votes no on everything europe trys to force us into, we basically blame lisbon for the recession.
The world needs to a stand here's a video on the ACTA.

Do Another Blackout in Protest?
Worked against SOPA, but definitely needs to be on a larger scale for this.
What bothers me is that that video was posted 2 years ago.Quote:

what, now theres another one and its on a larger scale?!
you know, the more i see of this crap the more i'm getting convinced that our future might just be self-annhilation after all, cause with all the fighting over this and how much damage it could cause it certainly looks like they want to run everything into the ground nowadays. (wonder if a nuke would stop this hehehe)
Agree but that's the thing, people have been letting stuff slip threw the cracks for to long. Here's one from 2012 there still working on it but they are keeping the people out of the loop and having private meetings. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yqa03NZX18s
ROFL - I pictured a buff dude too...Quote:

Artical on ACTA and TPP
http://ec.europa.eu/trade/creating-o...ounterfeiting/, see also: http://trade.ec.europa.eu/doclib/doc...doc_148964.pdf
What's so secret about it? :shrug: And just how different is it really from, like, the TRIPS-treaty or whatever?
1. ACTA is a secret agreement. Negotiations were not transparent and conducted
"behind closed doors". The European Parliament was not fully informed.
The text of the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) is publicly available to all.
The negotiations for ACTA were not different from negotiations on any other international
agreement. It is a fact that such agreements are not negotiated in public, but with the
Lisbon Agreement and the revised Framework Agreement there are clear rules on how
the European Parliament (EP) should be informed of such trade negotiations. And these
have been scrupulously followed. Trade Commissioner De Gucht has participated in
three plenary debates, replied to several dozens of written and oral questions, as well to
two Resolutions and one Declaration of the EP, whilst Commission services have
provided several dedicated briefings to Members of the European Parliament (MEPs)
during the negotiations.
Likewise, the public was informed, since the launch of the negotiations about
the objectives and general thrust of the negotiations. The Commission also released
summary reports after every negotiation round and the negotiating text since April 2010.
6. ACTA will lead to the introduction of a '3 strikes' system for internet
infringements, or to demands for internet service providers (ISPs, to monitor or
filter the data they transmit.
ACTA does not provide for a "3 strikes" or a "graduated response" system to
infringements over the internet. Neither does it oblige Internet service providers (ISPs) to
monitor or filter content of their users. ACTA is fully in line with the relevant EU
legislation, in force since 2000 (E-commerce Directive).
9. ACTA should only cover counterfeiting (trademark infringements) of goods. It
should not cover copyright infringements, particularly on internet.
Providing for enforcement of a broad range of intellectual property rights (IPR)
infringements is necessary, since a large spectrum of EU economic operators rely on
economic activities that need intellectual property protection (e.g. geographical indications
It's the fucking European Union. They've had directives saying "stop filesharing, m'kay?" out for 10 years now and most member states haven't done shit. Am I really naive/missing something here or is this a case of no one understanding EU-legislation?
From now on all comments or news related to ACTA, SOPA, PIPA or any other act or regulation regarding property rights, will be posted here:
