for some reasons i died laughing of that picture

seriously if a angry black guy like was shouting that it would be so awesome

In one of our hardware/software web services there was an article about the MU raid. The founder of the MU wanted to open a service where every artist could sell their stuff and make 90% on it. It'd be possible to skip the middle man, the big companies, the riaa etc. If it's true, then no wonder he was the first victim. If I were him I'd just move the fuck out of USA and start doing this somewhere it'd be possible.

Another article I read was about UK student being extradited to states for having a blog where peeps could share links to files on other servers. A filesharing site but without any files on his server. He had 300k unique visits/month. The press said he's going to be made example of and he'll get maximum sentence - 10 years in usa prison. Ridiculous.

I don't think there will be any agreement between the two sides of this conflict, the customer and the companies. The way the world was going up till now was to skip the middleman, because in the age of internet why the fuck he even exists? I can't wait to see how it'll turn out. Few countries in UE didn't sign that crap (eg Germany), hope we, as UE, will never make it happen. Funny fact is, USA wanted to force ACTA without UE parliment having his say about it!

The ACTA is made to seal forever how industry works now. No profit/small profit for the artist, shitload profit to the releasing company.



You know that ACTA is like about 10% about the internet? It's designed to controll every forged products. Even those that were made on bought legal license (eg cheap drug substituces). Also it neglects regional products that we in Poland have a few (that's 2nd reason I'm pissed why our goverment is supporting ACTA). Another example (at least here) your car broke and you need to buy some parts to it, original ones are 500$/each, substitute is 100$/each. You know now what it means? You'll overpay everywhere, just so companies can make more profit. Not even starting on that they would be able to make whatever price they can, because there would be no alternative.

SOPA and ACTA were both designed to do one thing on multiple levels, that one thing is to make the rich richer and the poor poorer.

whether it is a part for your car, some generic pain killers or a Anime show you watch, it will make those without tons on money have access to less and have to pay the huge companies making millions already more for there products.

but that is how the people in power want the world to work and I fear it is only a matter of time until it happens.. because even tho the poor vastly out number the rich, the rich are pulling all the strings.

tldr

srsly

Yep, that's what acta is in a nutshell.

Anyway, I doubt people will accept acta without putting a good fight. Our prime minister already changed his attitude towards it. From 'we need to sign it now!' to 'we should reconsider'. Plus there is the info fron wikileaks or from Swedish Piracy Party minister showing how our goverment lied to us, so I can't really see politicians getting away with it now.

I can't belive people in our goverment didn't even read it - one leader of major opposing party said it himself that he didn't read it, lol. He also said people need to vote it down, so I can forgive him

it kinda shocked me how fast SOPA got shot down since the majority of the USA has been dumbed down enough to where something like this could have passed without anyone know wtf was going on.

it was not until wiki and google said something about that a lot of people became aware of what what was going on, once people herd it would limit the internet then they got all pissed off about it.. kinda sad really but not surprising.

I am still shocked at how bold they are becoming tho.. this may sound crazy but if anything were to push people so far as to start a revolution I think it would be something like this, as crazy as that sounds.

that was already demonstrated with the wiki/google black out, a lot of people got really pissed really fast. however I feel most people at least in the USA have gotten to lazy for something like a true revolution to take place..

I think the whole occupy random locations like seattle and wallstreet proved that fact.



yeah once people get that veil off from over there eyes and look at it and what it really means not just what you herd from your bother or friend or some random off the internet, they realize how outrageous it really is..

kinda makes you think how many other stupid law got passed without congress even reading it..



a prime example of how lazy the majority has become, you should run for office and have tl;dr be your slogan.. srsly as long as you look good on tv its possible.
kiss a few babies on fox news you and could probably win easy, most people would not even know what tl;dr means nor care enough to look it up.

/e and with tl;dr as your slogan you would get a lot of support from the president and other members of congress.
