My sources of information here are limited, but it's good to hear. I hope, with the amount of people protesting, acta won't get through Polish parliment.
and Cyche, you're as gay as ever.
hi niggz
i read an interesting article in regards to sopa/pipa/acta, which i more or less agree with. the govt's already proven (via the MU raid) that it doesn't need any more power to act on copyright infringement, but that bills keep being drafted by the major interests (mpaa/riaa, etc).
the fundamental problem as i see it, is hollywood + the "traditional" publishing agencies trying to maintain their absolutely massive (google hollywood banking for examples) profit margin & complete middleman control - regardless of actual threat.
'n so, they will keep attempting to draft various bills, in order to leglislate this perceived right of theirs. the name will change, but the intent will stay the same.
the most reasonable thing, as i see it, that could come of this, is industry experts (ie, people who actually know what the fuck they're on about), the protestors (or representatives thereof) come together and draft their own alternative bill or solution, worded in a manner which would prevent such wildcard usage/censorship that any current forms of the bill would facilitate.
tl;dr, stop letting old dumbfucks determine the result of things they have absolutely no fucking idea about.
