I call it like I see it.

IP is worth over $400 billion to the US economy according to the U.S. Government Accountability Office. It is worth far more around the world. If we can’t respect the value of human ideas, then we shall ultimately lose our respect for humanity itself. Pirates, welcome yourselves to the slippery slopes of anarchy.

This treaty would require all law enforcement agencies to enforce LICENSING AGREEMENTS.

This treaty would effectively make the RIAA, MPAA, Microsoft, and every other unsavory organization a de facto legislative body.

Maybe we should remove the corporate, fascist dictatorship named USA from the league of civilized nations. We have had enough shit from those corrupt political whores who think they oownthe world. Where is my guillotine

FOSS ftw…

Ciudadanos Estadounidenses, hermanos Europeos, gente Asiatica.

Este acuerdo entre las naciones mas “desarrolladas” expresa la forma negativa de gobierno y economia que ustedes sufren. La relativa prosperidad en que viven es en realidad un sistema en donde ustedes compran para mantener a grandes corporaciones que explotan recursos en los paises mas pobres. Sin embargo en esa misma prosperidad, los vendedores de ilusiones, las compañias de medios han visto como la industria de la información les ha restado dividendos, sin embargo muy astutamente se han reunido con las mentes pensantes del establishment para poner leyes que limiten las libertades individuales, para seguir explotandoles en el mundo de las ilusiones y matar cualquier intento de despertar del sueño.

Nosotros en Latinoamerica, hemos sido gentes mas “pobres” durante centurias. Hemos luchado por no dejarnos dominar por los demas, por eso preferimos estar en miseria antes que nuestros espiritus se vean socavados ante estilos de vida esclavistas.

Ya que el internet les ha ayudado a despertar conciencia de la ilusion en que viven (explotados por las corporaciones), es el momento de tomar accion. Accion politica, accion civica, accion economica.

Si el Internet es censurada tan ferozmente a como se expresa en el papel, simplemente dejen de usarla. Parece totalmente loco, sin embargo en forma masiva, golpeara a los ISP directamente y comenzara la debacle.

Luego usen los antiguos medios de comunicacion para seguir la resistencia: telefono, carta escrita, anuncio en los periodicos de papel. Asi se podran organizar para protestas multitudinarias.

Luego ustedes tendran que decidir si siguen siendo esclavos en la ilusión, o se convierten en personas dueñas de su destino, no dependientes de consorcios de grandes comercios o medios que lo que quieren son compradores autómatas, no ciudadanos pensantes.

Saludos!

This agreement among nations most “developed” expresses the negative form of government and economy that you suffer. The relative prosperity in which they live is actually a system where you buy to keep large corporations that exploit resources in poorer countries. But in that same prosperity, sellers of illusions, media companies have seen the information industry has reduced dividends, however very astutely have met with the minds of establishment thinking to put laws that restrict individual liberties , To further exploitation in the world of illusions and kill any attempt to awaken sleeping.

We in Latin America, most people have been “poor” for centuries. We have struggled to dominate by not letting the other, that’s why we prefer to be in misery rather than our spirits are being undermined before lifestyles slavers.

Since the Internet has helped them raise awareness of the illusion that they live (operated by corporations), it’s time to take action. Political action, civic action, economic action.

If the Internet is censored so as to atrosmente expressed in the paper, simply stop using it. It seems totally crazy, but on a massive scale, struck directly to ISPs and the debacle began.

Then use the old media to continue resistance: phone, letter, advertisement in the newspaper paper. This could organize protests for multitudinarian.

Then you’ll have to decide whether to remain slaves in the illusion, or people become masters of their destiny, not dependent on big businesses or consortiums means that what buyers want are robots, not thinking citizens.

Greetings!

Murder, people still do it. Evidently the punishment is not harsh enough.

The USA is a fascist state, not a communist state.

Read a bit

There are no methods to do have the stuff they plan to do, no sort of ISP wide filtration software, no way to track torrents searchs like Cubit, etc.
‘
But my main problem is that people are so greedy that the don’t realize that CAN BE GOOD FOR PROFIT.

THe best example is Funimation and Dattebayo fansubs. Funinmation liscensed Naruto which Dattebayo had been fansubbing for a while, instead of slapping a ‘cease and desist’ order on them, they bought them, made them have a ‘professional translating service’ and let them do what they want. This created lots of POSITIVE buzz for funinmation from people that usually HATE corporations and media companies , and also Dattebayo kept on making fansubs of the Japanesee Naruto, which created loads of buzz for the American release.

Many companies act like 80 year olds technophobes, they are afraid of the internet. I will lol so hard when they realize that after ,god forbid, passing this argreement the realize more than HALF of their employee’s have done piracy in some form and their entire IT section is revolting.

As to how to fight this, mail your congressmen, if you see one take to a political candidate. If your really lucky and get on one of those ‘town hall meetings’ with one, bring it up NOW before lobbyists sworm in after the convention. I know Obama and McCain would both be against this (Obama for civil rights reasons, McCain because he WAS, before the election anyway, a staunch defender of individual rights (ie the TRUE meaning of a republican).

So everyone, Start now. Send a letter to your ISP informing them, that if they comply you will cancel service/fill a lawsuit. Talking to any official you can get your hands on, the higher the better. Organize protests, do whatever you can to draw attention to this. There are alot of people WHO would be against this but have no idea this is happening/even could be possible.

Get the word out flocks, send comments to everyone you leech/seed. Email this article to your friends. Whatever just do it.

A Lot of good ideas and passionate debate on this thread.

The establishment trade on FEAR. Politicians used to sell us dreams and now it’s nightmares, (poverty, extremism, terrorism, environmental catastrophe, space invaders etc) that way they keep us under manners and bog us down with ‘politricks’

But globalisation and the internet have presented us,(the masses),with the power to hit them where it hurts…As consumers we can bring the corporations to their knees.

For example lets say that we built, a networked community with the sole purpose of boycotting products, companies and even politicians and we decided to stop buying a particular brand for a month,(for whatever reason),it wouldn’t take long for that company to feel the pressure if the ‘community’ was 100 million strong.

I agree that we need a new kind of politics. Not Labour/Conservative, Democrat/Republican or even ‘Green’ as they all work for the interests of big corporations but a powerful force of our own to make genuine change happen.

The establishment only care about MONEY so we know their weakness all we need to do is exploit it.

A Revolution is necessary and it needs to be global. We must unite and REBEL TOGETHER otherwise our future, (under this continued oppression), will be bleak. Divide and Conquer is the oldest trick in the book and they have been playing it on us for centuries.

maybe the place to start this global paradigm shift could be a simple forum where we could lay down the foundations/manifesto and seed it from there?

This marks the begining of the end for freedom. It shows that democracy is no more. Welcome to the totalitarian dictatorship of America.

God help us all.

I WAIT FOR THIS

Stop acting like Obama is anything new or different. He is the same as all the others, voting for him will not change anything.

This is capitalism, and it is unfortunately winning against the forces of freedom.
