Please help. We won’t be able to send you BBC and European TV and stuff if this passes. As my friend said, this is dangerous and scary.
I’m not sure how to set one up, someone please make a petition.
+ Canada. Canada is included in this as well. fml.
ACTA is actually worldwide!
The negotiating parties include: Australia, Canada, the European Union, Japan, Mexico, Morocco, New Zealand, the Republic of Korea, Singapore, Switzerland and the United States. And according to Wikipedia of all these participants only The EU, Mexico, and Switzerland have yet to sign!!!
All the negotiations were conducted behind closed doors until a series of leaked documents relating to the negotiations emerged which explains why there is little to no media coverages.
This is all scary stuff. Read more about ACTA at Wikipedia och check out this video: ACTA EXPLAINED.
Hey RCS followers, I don’t post much political/activist stuff on RCS that much anymore - instead, I act as a contributing editor for WeSpeakForEarth and post it there - but this is pretty important.
As we’re all well aware of SOPA and PIPA by now, and as we’re all familiar with gov’t and corporate corruption, it’s important to mention this proposed legislation which would similarly endanger the internet.
And I’m not saying that piracy isn’t a problem, but I don’t think these bills are the solutions. They favor the interests and concerns of the 1% - worldwide - instead of the 99%, which legislation in democracies should care most about.
So please take a minute. Check out the wiki link, and sign the petition - Here. (Takes 30 seconds.)

P.s. Inspiration? At least for some.
