Macys Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 After PIPA and SOPA, which were both put on hold after the massive protests on the Internet, now comes ACTA. For those who don't know, ACTA is even worse than PIPA and SOPA. Basically no sharing site will exist anymore, all the downloads will be prohibited, people caught uploading material could go to jail. Not to mention that people won't be even able to have copyrighted material not even in their iPods or laptops. It seems the law will be voted these days in the European Parliament. It's the last chance to stop it. What we can do is call or send an e-mail to the representative senators of our countries in the European Parliament and tell them to vote against ACTA. Here is a list of the representatives for each country who will vote and their e-mails and phone numbers. Please Register/ Sign In, in order to see the links.

chiakaiyuki Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 I voted ofc... And I wanna send a message to Keith Taylor, but I'm no good at that sort of thing. Maybe I'll just write SAY NO TO ACTA hehe Here's what I wrote - SAY NO TO ACTA I shall keep this short as I know you must be very busy at this time. Please see reason and do not endorse ACTA, as this would have a detrimental effect on not only the internet, but the whole world. The uproar caused by this would be terrible. Already thousands of people have expressed their displeasure on internet censorship, and the lack of free speech they will be experiencing in the future. You simply cannot allow this to come to pass. So please, in the upcoming vote, Say No To ACTA. Maisie Fraser Resident of the United Kingdom and believer in freedom on the internet. I just hope it helps... 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morinaga's Girl Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 I also sent a message, something like Chiakaiyuki's message to the senators from my country. There are more senators for each country and all of them will vote, so I sent the same message to all of them 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shirotsuki Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 thanks for letting us know about the petition! i already sign obviously! i don't think they know the consequences of this!! the world wide situation this days is not very good... with the crises and everything... doing this will make the population even more frustrated! they want to end piracy! They say it is a crime! sure thing... but when they "kill" internet they will be increasing the real piracy!! obviously most people will start trying to buy the same products but turning to other methods... like Black Market, for example. so if ACTA does pass.... well... i wonder if there will be enought prisons...

nicicia Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Thanks for the twitter info! ACTA is getting on my nerves, and my country hasn't even signed up for it. I rely on other countries to be able to post freely, if Britain signs up...all my beloved BBC shows...No I can't even consider the outcome. ACTA must be stopped! @YaoiLoverfangurl19 - "full stendig enig" ? Where are you from, dear? If you don't mind me asking. Because that part of the sentence looks Scandinavian, and I live in Scandinavia XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
