A new treaty between US, EU, and other parts of the world will come into effect soon that will hold your ISP responsible for what you upload/download,
or even view online. Your ISP CANNOT monitor your actions, se instead they will just block all sites with any copyright material. Goodbye 4chan,
youtube, flicker, blog sites and legal torrent sites will be denied. If you are even accused of downloading/uploading copyright material three times,
your internet will be CUT OFF permanently; no questions, no appeal, customer screwed.
Not bad enough? On top of this, governments are attempting to legalize the random search, copying, and seizure of computers and other devices that
hold digital data when a person brings them to an airport. They want to take our laptops with out provocation or reason, to copy search them, and copy
your entire hard drive in an attempt to find pirated material.
Here is the link to the ACTA agreement which has been recently leaked :thepiratebay.org...
1. Gain media attention by writing emails to journalists and news reporters. Link below for msn news: www.msnbc.msn.com... tell them how you are concerned with the ACTA agreement, and how you will not stand for it - I’m sure you can
think of reasons why you don’t want this treaty to come into effect. Feel free to write to other news groups, and check on the forum for list of
journalist emails: viewforum.php?f=51
2. Contact youtubers (once most likely to talk about this) and encourage them to talk about ACTA (this affects them too). Information on selected
youtubers are at the forum: index.php
3. Hand out flyers.
4. Appear on Google trends. Simply paste the link below into your browser (using firefox here) and just leave it open. The link will run automatically
to work its way up on Google trends. Just leave it open as often as possible. acta.us.to...
5. We must spread awareness first before taking major action, but you all know what this will come to: PROTESTS. We also have a plan b, just in case
the treaty is enforced; but if it comes to that it may be too late.
The above is subject to change, and will be added to when needed.

All I can state is copyright infringement laws do not work for the little people. It is all BS. The big company can just appeal the courts as many
times as they can until the little guy gives in especially when he no longer can afford the lawyer. Then he basically will get nothing in the end for
his hard work and pay his unpaid lawyer bills.
MOD EDIT: part of post removal due to references to illegal activities
These idiots are going to police themselves out of business.
Why would you even maintain an internet connection if they get crap like this passed, it would be a huge waste of money.
Not to mention this basically puts all small artists out of business. The people that come up with this crap are too dumb to live, they are the real
useless eaters.
If I was forced to listen to mainstream pop crap, and watch only msm I'd just do without and live in the woods or something. Flagged.
Oh, I guess now the New World Order realized they made a very large mistake by giving us the Internet? So now they mean to police it? How about cell
phones with video capability? Now we can easily record when a fascist police officer harasses you on the road. I would bet Microsoft is behind this
somehow, they are so secretive about their source code, and heavily license their product, Genuine Product Code better be in place! Then we have
enterprising people who buy Windows, reduce it to an iso, extract that, take out things and alter the code, upload that to Pirate Bay, torrentfinder,
and many other file sharing sites, and anyone can then download the iso and install in in any computer, fully activated, service packs already there,
updates install easily, and you have a free, legal copy of Windows that does not take a snapshot of your hardware and send it to Microsoft.
Same with someone who goes to a concert and recored music video on their cell, then uploads that you youtube. Is that stealing? Not in my mind, why
not just ban cells from the concert hall? And Microsoft needs to come down off their high horse, hackers have already cracked Windows 8, and it
hasn't even been officially released yet.
First of thanks for posting this OP. Most people don't realize it yet but this is one of the most important battles we are fscing right now! If we
lose this and they enact ACTA we are gonna lose the free and open internet.
I know somebody else said above that there is no way they could stop us but he is incorrect! With this treaty in effect they can easily stop us
because any person, operator, or service providor that is merely accused of copyright infringement three times is permanently removed from the net! No
appeal no way back on! That means anybody who either writes truthful anti establishment info, allows it to be put up, or supplies internet service to
will very quickly removed from the internet and fast!
I'm sorry but no matter what you think everybody on the internet has to get on here through a service providor. Those providors aren't gonna let
people who speak out against the government anywhere near their services becaiuse they can lose their internet rights!
It's not only a real threat to everyone, it's a really big threat! It's the end of the free internet! All that will be left is a censored, shell of
it's former self. full of the likes of the CNNs and MSNs of the world with no independant thought. All propaganda! So we must all do our best to stop
ACTA!
Question: Would an IP blocker get you past this nonsense? It seems to me that it would. IP blockers are as cheap as $15 a year, well worth it to
me.......
This is seriously depressing. They know the internet is the last frontier of freedom. If ONE stab at the internet is taken, it will be so easy to
take the 2nd and third until the internet is dead.
Imagine the internet with less than a thousand sites, none of which interesting or useful.
Time to set up a new internet. I know there are loads of local ones, but you'd need a satelile up in the air to do it properly. Surely there's a
billionaire who wants to make themselves evern richer out there somewhere. Maybe if all the local "darknets" slowly grouped themselves together, we
could have our own web.

Open a new account with another ISP, or have a family member, girlfriend whatever open an account. Failing that im pretty sure one of your mates would
allow you to connect to his network.
Buy a completely anonymous pay as you go phone with an internet pre installed on it. Use that as a router. Use open wifi's, if you cant, crack
someone elses, takes 5 minutes.

Simply put, no.
Its been suggested a few times on a couple of similar threads, but i think pretty soon we will be seeing privatised internets showing up, thats really
the only way to regulate the internet. Would you like a Micrsoft, Apple or Google internet?
Then of course there will always be the back roads on the internet if you really want your freedom but dont mind the highwaymen.
And how long befor the illegal internet connection springs into being?Internet speakeasys anyone?
Like the free to air recievers that get satelite tv out of the air for a one time purchase price and download the codes from the net?
This WILL create an overnight high tech hack that will be available to ease the situation
...and if not, why, dont worry there is the option of mechanically assisted telepathy comming up in the near future too....
What can they do with that mess?
The technology that is comming down the pike will be used against the ptb to good advantage, and we have the bonus of having more brain power than the
nogs....
The revolution thats comming is gonna be a SPIRITUAL one...
how can they fight that or imprison it?(Like the man said,"my kingdom is not of this earth.")not that im rabidly christian....its just that if the
inner being is changed, the outer will apear and act differently automatically....
How they gonna take yer soul?or make it anything other than it already is and always was?
Dont fret it in the long run, everything they do to sheeparate us and manipulate us will instantly have many counteractive strategies to deal with it
because the whole thing is absolutely out of their control too!
The next level of awareness is comming upon us unbidden and even unwanted by many...those that refuse it will perish...it is unstoppable and it is
already in motion.
This internet suspension scheme sounds very mark of the beast like when coupled with other technolgies dont you think?(RFID,MK ULTRA)
