Anonymous Coward User ID: 9175077 United States 01/26/2012 02:58 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Thousands of protesters have taken to Poland's streets over the signing of an international treaty activists say amounts to internet censorship. Prime Minister Donald Tusk's government signed the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement in Tokyo on Thursday. The treaty, known as Acta, aims to establish international standards to enforce intellectual property rights. But critics say it could curb freedom of expression, and government websites have been hacked in protest. [link to www.bbc.co.uk] [link to rt.com] |
Sg User ID: 9175077 United States 01/26/2012 03:02 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Obama signs onto ACTA [link to www.youtube.com] President Obama Doesnt Support SOPA, But Signs ACTA? Chris Richardson | January 25, 2012 Move over SOPA, tell ACTA the news? Or is this more of a case of move over SOPA, its ACTA time? Or does, Stop! ACTA time! work? For me, its just when you thought it was safe to go back on the web, ACTA happens. Thats right folks, while SOPA/PIPA were being placed in the ditch as smoldering husks, President Obama signed the ACTA treaty, which is, at its most elementary, a multinational agreement that addresses intellectual property enforcement. There are many issues involved with President Obamas signing of the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement which occurred in September 2011 and whether or not it should be treated as an executive agreement or an actual treaty between the agreeing countries.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1309522 Canada 01/26/2012 04:43 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Canada and the US are both among the authors and founding signatories for the ACTA treaty which was written and signed quietly by our representatives last november. All signatory countries now have about a year to change their laws to "come into compliance" with the treaty.. The implied threat is if you don't pass national SOPA / C-11 style laws, you will be denied legal access to all copyrighted media, as a nation. This is a bluff they did not expect the US citizen to call because denying the US would be denying their largest market.... |

Quoting: indiGo33 So it has become an international law based on the new world constitution of the global citizenship which they are intending to force upon us.So why did the United States sign this treaty? It has always been known that this day would come when we would be called "Global Citizens" = The world court,the Hague NETHERLANDS,no borders & no U.S. Constitution = WHAT??? |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 9623801 political correctness is a doctrine.... fostered by a delusional, illogical minority...... and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media; which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end. |
