Now that's activism. Sadly, I don't believe it will do anything. I think our governments have every intention of passing this treaty or one just like it.
Maybe our complaints and concerns are being aimed at the wrong parties, giving the puppet masters the grief, not the puppets (our government(s). Unfortunately people will never stop buying music and movie views from them, it's an addiction. It would cut off the graft from the source.
Perhaps if our elected officials felt the heat a bit more, we could bring them around to actually representing the people again - if they realized that their days in office are numbered. Harry Reid (yeah, one of mine) Lamar Smith, all of them. That's the only turning point I can think of. Reddit is after Lamar Smith. Lol. Their activism is fantastic. But, we need to let all of them know IMO.

FTA: "In Europe demonstrations are being held in more than 200 cities, the largest in Sofia, Bulgaria, with more than 50,000 participants."
Making themselves seen and heard!

you never truly appreciate the value of freedom until it's taken away from you.

It's interesting that all of the countries that have officially denounced ACTA, and the countries with the largest protests, are in Eastern Europe.
I'm sure they have learned something from communism.
Eastern Europe: The new bastion of freedom in the world?

Are the protests, necessary? Global Non-Compliance is less newsworthy but probably more effective!
In any case, who but the signatories of this treaty... are bound by its stipulations?

Few of the pics in this post are from Sofia, Bulgaria. It was a good day for anti-ACTA. We are many, we will deal with this!

Looked into Getty Images the other day, seems quite pricey. Is there anywhere cheaper for blogging?
