What’s interesting to me, however, is how the SOPA/PIPA fight really has energized folks into fighting all sorts of efforts to encroach the internet with expanded copyright law and copyright enforcement efforts

   Trying to understand this thing.

   PIPA/SOPA – Gives government the power to block access to infringing domain names, sue to have links removed. Government and Corporations can cut off funds to infringing websites. Allow content owners to target U.S. websites that aren’t knowingly hosting pirated content.

   ACTA – Making your internet service provider policing everything you do online.
   It aims to make internet service & access providers legally responsible for what their users do online. Turning them into private copyright police and judge, censoring their networks.

   They seemed to roll over a bit too easily for my liking …….I wonder why.

   All of this was ordered by the Bilderberger group last year in Switzerland. It’s just their lackeys trying to sneak it in. It’s time people realised that the Bilderbergers are a criminal conspiracy. They need to be challenged and arrested. Attending are many politicians from various countries that are committing treason by colluding. George Osbourne MP of the UK is just one example as is war criminal Paddy Ashdown.

   At Wednesday protests on streets – I hope more people will go.

   Politics are mindless. Culture minister in radio said that everything is OK. That this need to be accepted by polish parliament but when 6 other countries will accept that it will be rule in Poland!
   Culture minister talked only about law. He didn’t about that ACTA will denied access to culture. Piracy forced on Hollywood world wide premieres and now they can go back to old patterns.

   Other minister said that everything is OK cos 10% is to polish law and 90% is to EU law. So he forgot that Poland is part of EU?

   This is madness.
