Hey guys i heard from my sis about this new international law thats gonna basically ruin the intternet. Its gonna stop people from downloading or uploading free songs, movies and tv show e.t.c
Heres an article from wikipedia about it Provisions
[edit] Border searches
Newspaper reports indicate that the proposed agreement would empower security officials at airports and other international borders to conduct random searches of laptops, MP3 players, and cellular phones for illegally downloaded or "ripped" music and movies. Travelers with infringing content would be subject to a fine and may have their devices confiscated or destroyed.[2][5]
[edit] ISP cooperation
The leaked document includes a provision to force internet service providers to provide information about suspected copyright infringers without a warrant, making it easier for the record industry to sue music file sharers and for officials to shut down non-commercial BitTorrent websites such as The Pirate Bay.[7]
[edit] Enforcement
ACTA would create its own governing body outside existing international institutions such as the World Trade Organization (WTO), the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) or the United Nations.[2][
they gonna give internet providers the right to record what u surf on the web and snitch to the cops if u download illegal stuff. I' m PERSONALLY pissed off about this cuz i like downloading songs and movies.
