Law making bodies all over the planet seem to have one thing in common. They’ll vote for anything if you offer them enough money.

We know where RIAA and MPAA are coming from, but so far as national interest goes, this is USA-driven. We live in a post-industrial age. I wonder whose industrial production has decreased the most? We live in an information age. I wonder where the information companies and their investors hang out? Same answer to both questions. No wonder the measures are so secret. See no evil!

I’ll try to find the link, but I think I read that part of this treaty is yet another case of trying to make ISPs responsible for all content on their networks and for doing inspection.

Once again: ya still don’t think this administration is trying to control everything?

The ACTA bill has been PUSHED for the last 2-3 years. They were really BEATING on canada. and the BILL is HARSHER then USA law. AND if passed, would require the USA to Push harder on Copyright law.

That’s it folks. I’m giving my heart to Jesus, so that I can pray for asteroid impacts to vaporize these vile shitbags.

I like that. I’m going to use that now too, that is if it’s still free?

Ah, well. The internet was nice while it lasted. If this actually passes and is enforced, the internet will cease to be anything anyone will want to use.

@ #9 -Animby

I could have said but it wouldn’t have been COMPLETELY true. There are still a few Democrats that actually work for their constituents and not the lobbyists.

@ #8 – Robart

How I wish that were true. But you only need 34 votes in the Senate to block a treaty and there may be that many honest senators left.

# 6 Improbus COULD have said, “We have to assume that ALL of the Democrats in the Senate will vote for it. They are a wholly owned subsidiary of the RIAA and MPAA.”

#6 “We have to assume that ALL of the Republicans in the Senate will vote for it. They are a wholly owned subsidiary of BIG BUSINESS.”

I’m not worried. The Dems, being morally superior, hold a huge majority and would never let this happen. They don’t need a single Republican vote.

So let them pass some more unenforceable laws. They will persecute some more 8 year olds and grandmas, and meanwhile I will still be downloading anything I want.

Right now this a treaty negotiation. What we need to worry about are the morons that will vote to pass it. We need to start organizing now to put pressure on members of the Senate NOT to pass this abomination. We have to assume that ALL of the Republicans in the Senate will vote for it. They are a wholly owned subsidiary of BIG BUSINESS.
