Fuck this shit! SOPA was a distraction to get this law past.

Its also a world wide law.

These are the good days of the internet, back when you could take other people's content & re-post it.

It been kept really quite.
Some of the guys signing this have not even been elected. I heard a rumor that the only reason we heard about it in the first place was because of a leak from inside.

And if anyone is wondering iam NOT butthurt about not being able to watch tv shows for free. ACTA allows ISP's monitor all our communications to "make sure" were not pirating. Dont know about you guys but i dont want my private life monitored constantly.

This law gives too much power to the wrong people when the people should be the ones with the power.

I think this is relevant.

I don't think so. Oney made a video about it being signed tomorrow. He seemed pretty bummed about it.

The law was signed in america on October the 1st. Its bassicly going worldwide now as its going to europue and beyond.

I think confusion about ACTA was ment. I dont think it will get enforced straight away. Its more stealthy to bring the enforcement in slowly so no one notices it at first. Kinda like that experiment with the frog and the water thats slowly brought to the boil.

All computer games I have are bought for money I worked for or "collected" from various occasions. I'm not really musical, I know most of the songs from multimedias I experienced and not listen a lot myself. I do not run website promoting piracy, or put commercial products there without author's will. As a law abiding citizen I am immune to ACTA's faggotry. Let's dance.

No, Wikipedia is right. The treaty was brought up and signed in October 1st by several countries, all they needed was the European Union to sign it for this treaty to be finalized. That is happening tomorrow.

Same here, NG has really changed my perspective on the world and people can really show off their talent here. NG really made it easy for people to be well known. It'll be horrible the day NG is gone.

With a bill this ridiculous, why don't they just shut down the internet entirely? It's well nigh impossible to completely destroy piracy.

If you TALK about something you learned to someone, you'll be breaking the law. It's not just about piracy.

That's what they told you? I understand there are lotsa haters who don't want to pay for products artists and companies have worked their assess off on, but seriousy, do you believe that tomorrow an international totalitarist law forbidding saying "Coca Cola" or something about Panasonic's new technology will get me to jail? Are you fucking nuts?

Okay, so let me get this straight... America has already signed it, and nobody even knew?
Somehow I don't see this being as big a deal as everyone is thinking it will be, considering nobody knew that it has already been passed in the U.S. and nothing has changed.


Seriously, who even reads these things anymore?

They need the European Union to sign it so that it can be finalized. And by the looks of it, that is happening tomorrow.

Once ACTA gets signed, Newgrounds will be deleted because apparently it's the only website with the copyrighted stuff while YouTube on the other hand will live. Also we can no longer to be able to follow our Somali role models' footsteps as well, what a shame.
