The free Internet is over the edge. A small percentage of people wants to censor the internet just to make sure they earn more and more!
This thread is intended to inform people about ACTA and the dangers it brings.

You don't know how it works? You're an artist and think this'll help you? You couldn't be further from truth!
What this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHxsZfvvXA4
It explains what ACTA is about and why it's so dangerous to our privacy.

//to mods: please make this thread appear in the Active Topics window or move it to an adequate subforum. It's very important to make people know about it!

^I can't thank you for some reason, so this post will have to do. Thank you for this thread. This, along with SOPA, PIPA and other legislation of their ilk need to be done away with.

Seems recent email address change is behind missing Thanks button. Even though ACTA is not going to be detrimental to N900's life itself (Nokia seems to be successful without it in keeping closed blobs safe and also seems the main killer for its own great inventions) it still could impact our experience (82 webos games links might close TMO, same as extras-devel being closed thanks to a possible closed source upload). Still hoping for european tribunals (a 2004ish decision that ISPs should not monitor users' bandwidth usage is an indicator this endeavor might fail), as local politicians are just too easy to buy.
Some might find this interesting:

Oh thanks
About thanks: in off-topic thanks are not given. Unfortunately such topic aren't shown in the active topics.
Is it possible to move the topic for instance to community subforum?

So then what is your solution to China stealing our trade hmmm?
Everday they counterfeit the US and other first world products brands, hack into US companies computer to steal trade secrets, pirate our software, music and movies and sell it as their own. We have to do something!

You can't see what they are doing? Communism is a failure and they didn't take care of their people and work through all the tough issues like freedom of speech, fair labor laws, fair wages, safe working conditions, racial diversity, respect for property rights. We worked through all those issues and created an environment where most of the worlds inventions come from, we even invented the internet and we did it all balanced against capitalism and some socialism in a democratic republic.
And here comes China stealing our trade and PUTTING US IN, DEBT while they are doing it. They did not earn all these brand names and other inventions that they are stealing. How can you just turn a blind eye to what they are doing?
Your grandparents and your parents did the hard work and lived through a country that respects property rights and allows diversity in every subject, we earned all these nice things we invented.

Are we supposed to just let China steal them and go "hey see communism works even the US is in debt to us."
OMFG NO it does not work you are stealing our inventions and trade and jobs and letting/encouraging abusers of capitalism to grow in power in your country setting a bad example for the whole world dragging down the whole worlds wages.
China does not know how to handle capitalism because it does not have a diversity of races, views, freedom of speech, politics, etc.. so it cannot properly evaluate capitalism and what checks and balances it needs.
They are f'n up the whole worlds trade system. I mean we're all supposed to wait another 50 years until they're done stealing our trade and they maybe have a revolution and overthrow their no respect for human life government.

No you don't get to copy lord of the rings and sell it on the street for 1 dollar each.

No you don't get to copy microsoft word change it a little bit and then sell it in China as your own ok.

No you don't get to hack into US software company and steal software and then sell it as your own in China ok.

No you don't get make counterfeit viagra and luis vatton bags and sell them on the internet to US and europe ok.
Those are OUR F'N JOBS and we earned them because we respect property rights and created a safe environment to invent and work in.
No you don't get to pack workers 14 to a room in bunk beds and charge them rent and then dump the products they make on the US market and cause 20 US factories to close. I'm getting f'n sick of it and it's pissing me off.
I don't know what's wrong with some of you guys but you need to get your priorities straight. If there is a burglar in your neighborhood you don't go "OK we're gonna make all the front doors on houses communist. Everyone has a right to everyone elses front door key." OMFG no! What are you doing?!
