I was on Facebook and a role-play account of Roxas has to close her FB because of news that ACTA just passed.

What the firetruck is going to happen now?

Damn, this isn't good. And Japan signed it, every country did it. We might have to change our accounts if things get bad. SOPA and PIPA were really just the beginning. GO ANONYMOUS!

If it wasn't for Anonymous, this might not have happened.

And, as usual, paranoid imbeciles with too much money get the last say in the quest for more money that was never there. Disgusting.

Wait, what did Anonymous have to do with it?

Also I'll be writing a good-bye letter to all my friends in KH13.

: (

The world we know is no more.

Are you guys certain that it will affect KH13 as well?

I'll put up a 16 paragraph long thread saying goodbye.

no offense but i find it kinda funny how everyone is talking as though this will start some sort of war

It will probably not start a war, but maybe a global riot. Think about it like this that the governments of all the countries have ignored the concept of democracy and pulled this crap on us in absolute secrecy! The sopa and pipa stunt took way too much attention from the real issue known as acta that has been in negotiation for about 2 years now! I bet a lot of people will be pissed considering that their leaders have just acted on their own accord... I am...

I'm honestly not very worried about this. Who here seriously believes the governments will take down the whole entire internet? Our society has grown too dependent on it that no one would be so stupid. They may suspend YouTube or FB (which would actually be a good thing) but in general they're not going to take down literally everything. Chill out, guys.

I don't know a lot about ACTA, but I do know it's not as bad as SOPA, chill out.

Yes, let's all jump to conclusions and assume the worst!c

I'm just gonna hang back and watch. Let's see how this plays out.

No matte how bad it is it's still a new law that can affect the way the Internet is. Hopefully not to many sites will be effected but still reguardless no one is happy about this.

Meh... i might be overreacting... but it's still annoying that the leaders have just accepted this without asking the opinion of the people and they have even gone so far as to keep it secret...

I will type in bold Green letters so you guys will read what I'm typing.

 

ACTA was signed 3 months ago. (October) The U.S SUPPORTS IT. IT IS A EUROPEAN BILL THAT CAN GO GLOBAL IF EVERY WORLD SUPERPOWER SUPPORTS IT. NOT EVERY SUPERPOWER HAS SUPPORTED THE BILL.

 

A Facebook page known as Brock Obama and Amabo Kcorb were saying it passed, just to see everyone's reaction. They got their entertainment but they should not be messing with other people's thoughts. ACTA is a serious issue if it does go global and will actually happen in the United States.

 

Most teenagers are finding out about ACTA because of the Internet. IT WAS SIGNED BY OBAMA 3 MONTHS AGO.

 

Edit: Another page, Lex the Luxray, has explained it in depth. See if you can find his status on Facebook. It's a community page as well.

I'M NOT ALONE?!

Well... i think most people know that it has been signed ages ago, by the US and several other countries. But it is first now that it is beginning to hit the EU, in fact it already have hit EU (Poland and Ireland). The rest of the EU are not brave enough to say no to this nor do they intend to as this will benefit themselves as pirating has been costing all the countries quite the sums of money.

I just don't want people to be panicking for a wrong reason.

Understandable And who knows, maybe this acta will just take down sites like rapidshare and so on and ignore sites like KH13 considering that this site afterall promotes the KH games

I REALLY hope corporations are not stupid enough to take down sites that they can use for market research, such as KH13 or can use for advertising, such as YouTube.

Its already been around for 6 years already and I'm not the kind to talk about this kind of thing so I'll just leave this two videos here.

 

Watch at the 5:25 mark.

 

Absolutely nothing will happen. It's pretty much additional enforcement of copyright laws that were already in-place and everyone breaking them knew they were doing something illegal.

 

SOPA and PIPA were really the only laws that threatened much of the internet. The only people that will feel the effects of ACTA are the ones that were already doing something illegal.

 

Basically, it's outlawing copyright infringement, only they are actually going to try and do something about copyright infringement.

If this continues the internet will get boring and no one will care about that anymore

I am not happy with it however, it's no SOPA.

I NOW HATE THIS WORLD!

What? Now what will I do about my music and games? I mean really, I buy most of my games, but I will NEVER buy from iTunes again because of the horrible way they've treated my issues, and also because those songs aren't even worth spending all that.

 

Anyway, they're just shutting down sites right? No one is going to get into trouble for downloading a game or two right?
