    (you need an account to see links) < if you read that it will inform you on whats going on (: but that has nothing to do with SOPA, but it did make people realize shit is being done even without SOPA being passed, so i see no purpose of having it in effect if the FBI can take care of it lol



    Infamous Joe is you.

    The internet's two greatest threats Its a shame they haven't gotten the publicity of SOPA and PIPA.
    ACTA has been signed by the US, the EU, and many nations already..

    For the first one, internet service provider has to log all internet traffic including credit cards under the pretense of stopping child pornography.. Basically it takes away all your online privacy.

    "[ACTA] would also facilitate privacy violations by trademark and copyright holders against private citizens suspected of infringement activities without any sort of legal due process".
    ACTA would also require that existing ISPs no longer host free software that can access copyrighted media; this would substantially affect many sites that offer free software or host software projects such as SourceForge. Specifically, the FSF argues that ACTA will make it more difficult and expensive to distribute free software via file sharing and P2P technologies like BitTorrent, which are currently used to distribute large amounts of free software. The FSF also argues that ACTA will make it harder for users of free operating systems to play non-free media because DRM protected media would not be legally playable with free software.[10]

    They're both breaches of civil liberties..

    I found this interesting:

    Polish parliament protesting ACTA
    Poland is having a SOPA styled blackout protesting ACTA. Its a shame this issue hasn't gained much recognition..
