Here is more information that I think is relevant.

For greater certainty, the Parties understand that third party liability means liability for any person who authorizes for a direct financial benefit, induces through or by conduct directed to promoting infringement, or knowingly and materially aids any act of copyright or related rights infringement by another. Further, the Parties also understand that the application of third party liability may include consideration of exceptions or limitations to exclusive rights that are confined to certain special cases that do not conflict with a normal exploitation of the work, performance or phonogram, and do not unreasonably prejudice the legitimate interests of the right holder, including fair use, fair dealing, or their equivalents.


The above could mean that by posting the link with the google or youtube buttons could make you or ATS a criminal by aiding in the distribution of material. But it gets worse.

Each Party shall enable right holders, who have given effective notification to an online service provider of materials that they claim with valid reasons to be infringing their copyright or related rights, to expeditiously obtain from that provider information on the identity of the relevant subscriber.


The above now means that the corp of rich PTB will be able to get any information your ISP has on you, and then of coarse use it against you in what ever way they see fit. The term sheeple is starting to have a new more ominous meaning.

if he knows what he's doing, the internet is impossible to police. Why not take a stroll through TORPARK?


If this information is true and correctly summarized...

They don't need to police every single one. Its the threat of such actions and the ability to act upon those threats which is significant. The ones that they make examples out of will be enough to terrorize people into falling back into line. It will also provide the ability to legally harass and sensor those who try to spread information which the government does not want spread. Three strikes and your out? No internet...forever?! How easy do you think it would be to "find" copyrighted material on "specific" computers which is deemed inappropriately acquired.

I understand that, if used appropriately, this ruling would protect those whose work is being stolen and also will aid in monitoring dangerous people and info that may be coming into or out of the country. However, these agencies are being run by human beings. That's all they are, just imperfect human beings...with their own agendas.

As someone who travels a LOT with her laptop in tow holding various items, which are not only sensitive business documents but also personal information not for some Joe-Schmo airport-security guards eyes...I am angered by this. I don't have anything illegal, I am not a copyright material stealer, I am not a criminal. Why do I automatically become guilty until proven innocent as I walk through the airport gate.

I am going to research this more and try to hold my anger about this until I can see it with my own eyes.

Edited to add: I'm just gonna show up at the Airport tomorrow in my underwear. I think it would save a lot of time. And then Mr. security agent won't have to troll my computer to see what I have.

Why am I so angry about this? I am going to go out into the sunshine for awhile and try to adjust my attitude. I am so fricking mad about this.
