First SOPA, PIPA in the US now ACTA in the EU.
The new never ending saga of the evil empire trying to control everything.

yeah i noticed that, now the other side of the world has to go through what we did here. sign petitions, pass the info along on FB and other social media places, and put the hammer down on these guys.

In the states again, but... If you thought SOPA was bad then read this:

Keep the internet free from corporate meddling. It doesn't belong to anyone and it belongs to all of us.

Just stumbled across this interesting animated gif about SOPA/PIPA:



I like the comment that fighting piracy with SOPA/PIPA "is like dealing with a lion that has escaped from the zoo by blasting some kittens with a flamethrower". The multi-billionaires want to stop a few criminals who are selling copyright materials illegally by taking away the rights and freedoms of everyone on the planet. All because they aren't satisfied with the billions that they already make every year. Their greed drives them to seek more. The 1% will never be satisfied until they've taken every last penny from the 99%. The world needs to stand against corporate greed.
