• Пт, 22:55: Ugh. After reading about ACTA, I do think the world is going to end this year. It's not 1894 idiotic governments! Stop being ass backwards!
• Пт, 22:56: (ACTA is SOPA/PIPA on an international scale & was secretly negotiated. Leaks are the only reason it's now known about.)
• Пт, 22:57: (& ACTA is far more draconian than SOPA/PIPA. ~Everyone~ should be worried about ACTA.)
• Пт, 23:26: #ACTA will destroy open Net. #EU may be only hope to kill rights-abusing treaty. Tell MEPs to vote NO on ACTA! http://t.co/FGQP9NrF
• Сб, 00:56: Some people have charmed lives, mine is not one of them.

I was talking about this on my blog too! I was also talking about it with my Mom as well, a lot small businesses use the internet and a lot of other places too. Such as Hospitals, Specialists/Doctors, and even the Government...

My Mom was just saying that they only wanted to regulate the internet and I agree. There's a lot of crazy stuff going on in the internet and it's good that they're going to regulate it. Such as people who use it for identity theft and pirating.

It's good that they're going to regulate it? You are aware that all those movie gifs, promo pics, editorials, etc that you reblog on tumblr are considered piracy by corporations?

Corporations have a very loose definition of piracy. They don't just limit it to movies being ripped and resold illegally. If you're against piracy, don't reblog fashion editorials. Don't reblog Marie Antoinette gifsets. Don't reblog graphics that used screencaps from films. Don't reblog music. Because ~all of that~ is considered piracy by publishers, movie and music studios. (What the corporations don't consider piracy: you wrote the song, you drew the picture, you made the movie and giffed it)

When you stop doing that, then you can write how the internet needs to be regulated to stop piracy. Because, basically, everything you reblog on tumblr counts as piracy right now.

No, I'm not joking. ACTA/SOPA/PIPA and even the DMCA copyright law are really that strict. That's why many websites (including wikipedia, twitpic, etc) protested and had that mass blackout day in January. (Basically the entire tech community is against ACTA/SOPA/PIPA.)

Oh, and Neil Gaiman, author of Stardust, has even written about the benefits of piracy. (He says his books sales have gone up.) I have to dig up the link but I'll post it here when I do.
