tay-a-la-menthe:
ACTA is a threat to generic medicines and to the millions of people worldwide who rely on them to get affordable treatments, and all so that the big pharmaceutical companies retain and extend their monopoly. What do the lives of poor people and matters of public health mean compared to the need of these companies to rake in even more billions? Not much apparently.

Holocaust Memorial Day

It seems to me that you are the one who has become a sheep and have clearly not read the texts of the ACTA agreement.
Believe me the thing is not that people panic at every little thing but exactly the opposite that people don’t care about every little thing.That is the real problem with this world, people like you who shrug stuff like this off as if it’s...

wunderkiste:
One of the biggest issues in discussing ACTA is the rampant secrecy behind the negotiations. We’ve heard calls from many different politicians to get rid of the secrecy and be more transparent, but we hadn’t heard who was against the transparency (other than some industry lobbyists who, in theory, shouldn’t have much say in this). The only statement came from the USTR, who...

I’m beginning to get royally pissed off every time I see people freaking out about ACTA.
The governments did not create this as a way to go after the little guys. Most corporations and entertainment businesses realize that the fandom that survives and thrives online is one of the things that propels their profits forward. I have a lot of family in the Hollywood...

Sorry for spamming with ACTA
but this shit scares the bejesus out of me and I’m so mad and scared that no one listens to the voice of the people.
I don’t want to say later that I didn’t do all I could to stop this shit from happening.

A new global treaty could allow corporations to police what we do on the Internet. Last week we successfully pushed back the US censorship bills — if we act now, we can get the EU Parliament to bury this new threat — add your voice now!

Fast alle EU Länder haben gestern das ACTA abkommen in Tokio unterschrieben.

EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT INVESTIGATOR Kader Arif has quit his post over the controversial Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) that the European Union (EU) signed yesterday in Japan.
Arif is apparently sick to his back teeth about the murky agreement and the behind closed doors manner in which it was created. Fair enough we say.
He published his...

Only five EU countries did not sign up yesterday – Germany, the Netherlands, Estonia, Cyprus and Slovakia – though they are expected to do so in due course.
One of the few times I actually love my country. Tho I signed almost every petition out there. It’s just unfair.
There you go Germany I swear to god keep your signing pen away from those papers >(
Meanwhile I keep on...
