LAWLESS PRESIDENT - bypasses Congress signs ACTA
About: » obama signs global internet treaty worse than sopa alex jones' infowars: there's a war on for your mind!
Under the provisions of ACTA, copyright holders will be granted sweeping direct powers to demand ISPs remove material from the Internet on a whim. Whereas ISPs normally are only forced to remove content after a court order, all legal oversight will be abolished, a precedent that will apply globally, rendering the treaty worse in its potential scope for abuse than SOPA or PIPA.
A country known for its enforcement of harsh Internet censorship policies like China could demand under the treaty that an ISP in the United States remove content or terminate a website on its server altogether. As we have seen from the enforcement of similar copyright policies in the US, websites are sometimes targeted for no justifiable reason.

I think there is a fundamental paradox (or contradiction) between staking out "Intellecual Property" and ensuring "Freedom on the Internet". These things will always be fighting ... yin and yang. To formulate actions i think it is necessary to acknowledge that basic contradiction. Me i tend to side more with the latter force and don't care that much about the former one. People who think they have more of the former are obviously going to be fighting on that side. Do we want our government to be protecting private property in international trade ... well why not ... does international trade take place on the Internet ... yes it certainly does ... why should it be exempt? ... that is an legitimate question indeed.





I'm actually more interested in the reactions of right leaning media pundits ... the O'Rilleys and the Hannities ,and the Michelle Malkins and the what's their name blond girls ... not to mention the, almost mandatory, ruling of SCOUTS. But I suppose they will react pretty much the same as you have (if they react at all) ... so that leaves me with ... what were the Republicans in Arizona thinking?
