Hrmph.
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 Entertainment Industry. Most of you might not know, but writers, producers and even directors of television and movie productions immerse themselves into fandom (tumblr, livejournal, deviantart, twitter and I even have a writer/producer uncle who was on Y!Gallery for quite some time, because his show had a fanbase there and he was amused) as well to watch, learn and admire the fact that what they do is appreciated by their fans. They see that fandom helps them, and things like ACTA, SOPA and PIPA are NOT meant for the little guys.
Why did Megaupload get taken down? Because the man that ran the site was filthy rich due to all the money he’d made on pirate software and the like, and was gearing up to launch a program that would rival iTunes in terms of music. These acts are meant for the big guys, and as fucked up as Hollywood can be, they wouldn’t go after their fans, not like this. Not when it would have a direct impact on their wallets. This is all about money.
And when it all comes down to things, there’s a reason that APA and MLA citation was invented. If you all are truly worried, then begin using a form of citation for your graphics, fanmixes and fanvids. Sure, it’s a pain in the ass, but giving credit where credit is due is never a bad thing, and I’m certain quite a few of you understand that.
Just, calm down and think, everyone. Don’t just become sheep that panic at every little thing. Use your heads, pull together some logic. Of course, that means you don’t have to listen to my rambling either. Just giving everyone some food for thought.
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 nothing.
The people are not worried about their fanmixes dude, they are worried that we’ll have a situation similar to China everywhere soon and if you think that is panicking than you clearly have lived in a political dreamland the last 50 years.
