An interesting development in the USA. The internet chapter of the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement a secret copyright treaty whose text Obama's administration refused to disclose due to national... More...
Wow...Obama just lost a whole lot of points with me there. If I'm not mistaken though, if there are enough people pissed about said treaty terms, won't they have to change it?
So, which countries are not included in the treaty? This treaty is like giving in to the corporation and give them more tools to milk money from the citizens. Just remind me of the offspring's lyric. Superpowers flex their wings Hold the world on puppet strings Egos will feed While citizens bleed That's always the way it goes When will the world listen to reason I've a feeling it'll be a long time When will the truth come in to season I've a feeling it'll be a long time
I accuse the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement and all multinational corporations of copyright infringement!
Times like this I'm glad I don't live in the US. I bet software developers and moralfags are creaming their pants right now.
that really sucks but meh, they will never control the internet. Imagine, private huge scale WANS would appear, they could so easily get the funding to do it.
Its anti constitutional There is no doubt that this breaks at least 1 paragraph of the United States constitution - Presumption of innocence. Which of course is simillar to every single western type culture state in the world. This definitelly calls for nullification by Supreme Court.
We will see many things change in the US over the next few years. They are grossly indebted, so much so that they will never be able to pay of all their debt. These stimulus packages are giving the government control over the last remaining productive means of the US economy and the monotization is destroying the US dollar. But that will be the only way they will be able to pay off their debt is to cause inflation. The US is far from the land of the free and the rest of the world is following suit quickly. Sorry to be such a dooms prophet but that is just the way it is. If you want more sources look on youtube at schiffreport or listern to the McAlvanny commentary weekly if you are interested in financial matters or just some of the freedom reports out there. the US is moving towards a socialist state and capitalism has long jumped out the building in that country.

Hardly the truth Nothing will happen. Plain and simple. Nothing will happen to youtube and similar sites. The masses would be outraged and the government knows this would be going way too far. I'm sure there are tons of details left out of this article and it is assuming the worst possible scenario. If anything, new internet regulations will slowly eat away at the freedom of the internet. Slowly enough so that no major changes take place all at once. So, wake me up when nothing happens.
Does this mean, that there will be no more YouTube? Well, doesn't the prophecy say, that the end of the world AS WE KNOW IT will come in 2012. If that's true, then maybe there are more things planned by Obama administration, than just this? Like I dunno, something that would totally change the world... If those things are released in 2012, then the prophecy will be true. Mind control anyone?:grin:
