Description

For those of you who have been living under a rock or haven't been online in a while, the U.S. government shut down file-sharing site Megaupload a few days ago and arrested the owners of the website.

As most users of the internet expected, Anonymous was not pleased. They temporarily took down:
- Department of Justice (Justice.gov)
- Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA.org)
- Universal Music (UniversalMusic.com)
- Belgian Anti-Piracy Federation (Anti-piracy.be/nl/)
- Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA.org)
- Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI.gov)
- HADOPI law site (HADOPI.fr)
- U.S. Copyright Office (Copyright.gov)
- Universal Music France (UniversalMusic.fr)
- Senator Christopher Dodd (ChrisDodd.com)
- Vivendi France (Vivendi.fr)
- The White House (whitehouse.gov)
- BMI (BMI.com)
- Warner Music Group (WMG.com)

Holy shit.

Anonymous used to be just a loose group of trolls and hackers that did whatever.
Now they're a loose group of trolls and hackers trying to defend the free and open internet. Through some really questionable means. I still like them, though. XD

Anyway, SOPA and PIPA are pretty much dead in a ditch covered in petrol on fire, but there's a much bigger threat we need to worry about.

ACTA KaiSuki.deviantart.com/journal…

See the link up there? Read all about it and sign the petitions!

ACTA is a complete invasion of privacy and the end of the internet as we know it. If ACTA passes, officials will be allowed to confiscate your laptops, iPods, phones, etc. at the border to search for copyrighted material. ACTA will affect the WHOLE WORLD. It's an international treaty; the U.S., Canada, and other countries have already signed it. They negotiated this treaty in secret a few years ago. Behind our backs. And that's just only the tip of the iceberg.

Also, we've got about a week to stop it.

Click the link above and read about how to stop ACTA! Spread the link around! We don't have much time, and more signatures for the petitions are needed!

EDIT:
Anon hacked Polish government sites to protest ACTA: www.demotix.com/news/1013412/p…

EDIT:
A student from the UK was extradited to the US because his site had a link to copyrighted material! www.youtube.com/watch?v=CU1bqr…
