Here's my two cents on all this ACTA shit.

I am against it, because it is pretty terrifying. And the fact that the government is doing all this behind our backs.

But it's not as bad as people say.

From the European Commisions Website:

What is ACTA?

ACTA ensures people everywhere can continue to share non-pirated material and information on the web
ACTA does not restrict freedom of the internet. ACTA will not censor or shut down websites.
ACTA ensures that organised crime can be pursued when intellectual property is stolen - harming innovation, fair competition and destroying your jobs
ACTA is not about how we use the internet in our everyday lives.
ACTA allows people to continue using their social networks such as Twitter and Facebook just as they have in the past – no change.
Computers, iPads or iPhones will not be checked or monitored – ACTA is not Big Brother.

Why is ACTA not SOPA?

SOPA is a US draft law that would change US legislation. ACTA does not require any EU law changes. Anything you can do legally today is still legal after the ratification of ACTA.
ACTA does not foresee cutting off internet access to anyone.

So yup. I do think it's unfair that ACTA would force Canada to adopt the US's way of Internet protection system. It's supposed to be the other way around. Canada's supposed to make the US better.



But yeah. ACTA is serious shit guys. I suggest you all get to grips with what we're dealing with.
