Acta - The New "Phantom Menace" ?
« on: June 10, 2008, 03:36:51 am »
Folks this story is doing the rounds quite a lot ATM and its hard to say which report offers something the others don't so I settled on this one that shows who is pushing for this anti-democratic global legislation.

Wikileaks has the full text of a memo concerning the dread Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement, a draft treaty that does away with those pesky public trade-negotiations at the United Nations (with participation from citizens' groups and public interest groups) in favor of secret, closed-door meetings where entertainment industry giants get to give marching orders to governments in private.
It's some pretty crazy reading -- among other things, ACTA will outlaw P2P (even when used to share works that are legally available, like my books), and crack down on things like region-free DVD players. All of this is taking place out of the public eye, presumably with the intention of presenting it as a fait accompli just as the ink is drying on the treaty.

Honestly, it's becoming clearer and clearer that the entertainment industry is an existential threat to the idea of free speech, open tools, and an open communications network.

Who is really behind ACTA? Follow the money:
Rep. Howard Berman (D-CA)[4]

Top four campaign contributions for 2006:
Time Warner $21,000
News Corp $15,000
Sony Corp of America $14,000
Walt Disney Co $13,550



We may need to help mount a major campaign to let politicians know we are not happy with anyone trying to sign away or steal our property rights, I'm currently watching the situation closely but this threat will at some stage need to be answered with a single loud voice, our rights are not for sale to the highest bidder and anyone that thinks they are will hopefully be shown the communal door that we enter when using the net.

ACTA will outlaw P2P

really.... then that means email and IMs too right? cos who knows whats in those PGP encrypted UUE encoded blurbs at the bottom of the messages those college students are sending to one another...

or *gasps* that unlabled dual-layer DVD-R sent through the mail... its a suspect too... better check it..

mmmhmm... right... snowballs chance in hell...


got winrar? copy and paste the following (including 'begin' and 'end' lines) into notepad then save the file as 'r.uue' and double click... then open the resulting .zip for the goodie... (no worries its just a midi.. but it makes a point... i just hope the forum doesnt cut it short >.>)
