ACTA.

[Doppleganger]

What do you think the odds are of this becoming a reality?
Obama is pushing this..

[EvGa]

That's all I have to say about that.

[magisuns]

No.

[MrJoey]

Don't have audio right now, can anyone give a quick summary?

[Doppleganger]

This treaty makes the ISP's responsible for the copyrighted material that is on there networks.

EDIT

[Toshiharu]

I watched for the first 30seconds and this would go against my right to privacy. Not that I care about people listening onto my phone calls, but going through my computer is like going through my house. Some random person listening to me on a call I don't care, but again going through my stuff is a different thing.

Also I thought this was Biden's doing.. not Obama.

Going on.. 800 illegal downloads on a person's music player. Laaawl That number is off by a zero for maaaaaaany people. Then again that's on the computer.

Another line of edit. I don't get it.. yeah downloading has ruined profits, but hasn't it also maximized profits? Lot of people like to try before you buy, but no one offers such a thing. Then again lot of people are just internet pirates.

its new world order everyone hurry up and get your background checks done so you can buy that 12-gauge in the next month. Hurry up and load up on gold and canned soup, money won't be worth shit when the economy collapses and when the new world order takes over the country and the world. hurry guys!! hurry!

More leaks from behind the scenes at the secretive Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement negotiations: the EU is pushing for criminal sanctions for non-commercial copyright infringement.

[LaloHao]

Hurry and run to the border

I think you're thinking of the Bush administration when the VP ran the show =P

Anyways, I'm sure this will be a reality in the near future. Obama is just a more progressive version of Bush...Same spying on fellow Americans.. Same kind of corrupt administration. I would say same Big spending... But his spending is far worse.

I lol'd at the guy that was talking about the transparency... After the first month in office transparency went out the window.

[Mindy]

This is just stupid.

And god i hate her voice.

[Heosphoros]

Do treaties not follow the US Constitution? or are they exempt from it? Well, I know for sure, if they enforce ACTA, I will not be bringing my laptop or zune with me anywhere near an airport. The amount of money it would take to fund and enforce this would be enormous, piracy is not even that big of a deal. I've read somewhere that statistics have shown that the amount of albums/music bought has actually increased over time, and that piracy may influence these(positively, as mention before)

[Pan_Raider(`_´)]

This is just stupid.

oh yes

and this thing was discussed 2008/09'sh
now that it is public, there will be opposition..
passing stuff like this is a farce

[Squirt]

Didn't something like this happen in Australia and there was mass protesting in the country?

[*BlackFox]

That's Just insane!

[only_me]

imagine how much CP they'll find

[Ownage]

I can't understand half the Farking things she is saying.

But I think there will be huge protests against this since most people download their songs nowadays anyway.

[TheDrop]

lmfao.

RT is the most retarded "news" network ever. All they report about is anti-american bullshit and stupid conspiracies.
