Comments on: The ACTA Copyright Treaty and Why You Should Care http://gigaom.com/2010/05/02/the-acta-copyright-treaty-and-why-you-should-care/ Sat, 25 May 2013 11:50:09 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Josh http://gigaom.com/2010/05/02/the-acta-copyright-treaty-and-why-you-should-care/#comment-249966 Wed, 19 May 2010 04:30:53 +0000 http://gigaom.com/?p=115688#comment-249966 If this gets adopted, we will start seeing police raids against people sharing music and movies on the same scale as the the kiddy porn raids (in fact the same technology is used in both cases). Right now, the only real solution appears to be Freenet. It’s at http://freenetproject.org. For accessing the normal web anonymously, there is Tor (http://torproject.org).

Even if you have nothing to hide, running a Freenet node is a great way to help fight big brother.

India got the copyright law right and the U.S. is breathing down their necks. Why should the U.S. government care about India’s copyright law–doesn’t the U.S. believe in self governance? The U.S. gov cares because big business cares.

SAD. . . truly sad.
