They're not going to stop til they accomplish their goal. All of us had a big problem when our "elected" officials started thinking we work for them. Not the other way around. I don't want to be one of those doomsday people but I can see some serious shlt happening in our lifetimes. People are getting really fvcking fed up!

Thousands march in Poland over Acta internet treaty

25 January 2012

More than 10,000 people have taken to Poland's streets to protest the signing of an international treaty activists say amounts to internet censorship.

Prime Minister Donald Tusk says his government will on Thursday sign the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement.

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.

Several marches took place in cities across the nation on Wednesday, says the BBC's Adam Easton in Warsaw.

Crowds of mostly young people held banners with slogans such as "no to censorship" and "a free internet".

After convening a special government meeting to discuss the issue, Mr Tusk said the government would not be blackmailed by the treaty's opponents.

There would be ample time for public discussion about the treaty before it was ratified by the Polish parliament, he said.

The agreement has so far been signed by the US, Australia, Canada, Japan, Morocco, New Zealand, Singapore and South Korea. Poland is expected to sign it in Tokyo on Thursday.

Acta shares similarities with America's Stop Online Piracy Act, which US lawmakers set aside last week after Wikipedia and Google blacked out or partially obscured their websites for a day in protest.

There's a shitload of piracy and stealing done, so I can understand why they want to crack down on all of these places that make it possible for people to steal other people's work. I've done it, and I'm sure 99% of people on here have too. I don't have the time to read the fine print, but what are they wanting to do that is causing the uproar? Certainly there has to be something more than shutting down illegal download sites and stuff like that. I don't remember people getting pissy about Napster and those other p2p places getting shut down.
