I believe that ACTA was dreamed up by Baron Peter Mandelson when he was European Commissioner for Trade. This is a man who previously had to resign from three government positions. The fact that he bounced back every time is perhaps an indication of how well thought of he was, by Tony Blair. Theirs really was a Labour government that couldn't have acted any further from the will of the people, than they did. I totally despise them both! They are loathsome!
Watch out for Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). Remember this is closely "Related to ACTA, a chapter in the Trans Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPP) “would have state signatories adopt even more restrictive copyright measures than ACTA,” reports the Electronic Frontier Foundation."
You wear a mask for so long, you forget who you were beneath it.
A building is a symbol, as is the act of destroying it. Symbols are given power by people. A symbol, in and of itself is powerless, but with enough people behind it, blowing up a building can change the world.
To be technically correct, the ACTA is an Trojan-horse style attempt to inject US anti-piracy legislation into European copyright law. The Europeans did not invented this crap, they just said "OK we will sign it" when the Uncle Sam asked. But ordinary European folks do not want to be stripped of their "fair use" exceptions declared by existing European law. I have to repeat the same thing that said the British bank regulator when the US tried to "save" Lehman Brothers using Barclays: "We don't want your cancer here!"..
Yes, blame the US for everything that every other country does that you view as wrong. ACTA has been in the making since before SOPA and PIPA. And we defeated those, let's see if Europeans have as much influence over their governments as they tell themselves.
Anti-Americanism is f**king retarded. You're delusional. Seriously. You can't ever accept criticism without finding some wacky way of redirecting it to the US.
Though I doubt it will be read by her, I wish to state: Helena Drnovšek Zorko, I am not a citizen within your borders, but I forgive you. I forgive you now, but what you have done is no longer as important as what you now must do.
Not just you, but everyone. In the words of Martin Luther King, Jr., "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere." The same goes for freedom.
We have a chance to heed your cautionary tale and act upon it. We, too, have been complacent for far too long. We've been overburdened and undercompensated. We've come to expect third parties to raise our children. The disasterous decisions of the past threaten our future, but only if we do not act when it is appropriate. We are guilty.
Still, these agreements must be curtailed. The actors behind their influence must be outed. Those who were influenced are not without blame, either, and should be tried accordingly as enemies of their own countries and traitors of their citizens. Not without mercy, but with fair and tempered justice.

Absolutely right! We must always resist tyrants and their minions, who wish to take our freedom.

Be nice if the backlash spreads to those (like the US) who have signed off on it.
