JonyJC said: Stop buying movies and anything related, they suck anyway so we may as well let movie theaters become popcorn stands best way to get to a percentage of the people trying to pass this. http://ycombinator.com/rfs9.html <-- A plan to do pretty much exactly that. For those who don't like clicking links: Hollywood appears to have peaked. If it were an ordinary industry (film cameras, say, or typewriters), it could look forward to a couple decades of peaceful decline. But this is not an ordinary industry. The people who run it are so mean and so politically connected that they could do a lot of damage to civil liberties and the world economy on the way down. It would therefore be a good thing if competitors hastened their demise. That's one reason we want to fund startups that will compete with movies and TV, but not the main reason. The main reason we want to fund such startups is not to protect the world from more SOPAs, but because SOPA brought it to our attention that Hollywood is dying. They must be dying if they're resorting to such tactics. If movies and TV were growing rapidly, that growth would take up all their attention. When a striker is fouled in the penalty area, he doesn't stop as long as he still has control of the ball; it's only when he's beaten that he turns to appeal to the ref. SOPA shows Hollywood is beaten. And yet the audiences to be captured from movies and TV are still huge. There is a lot of potential energy to be liberated there. How do you kill the movie and TV industries? Or more precisely (since at this level, technological progress is probably predetermined) what is going to kill them? Mostly not what they like to believe is killing them, filesharing. What's going to kill movies and TV is what's already killing them: better ways to entertain people. So the best way to approach this problem is to ask yourself: what are people going to do for fun in 20 years instead of what they do now? There will be several answers, ranging from new ways to produce and distribute shows, through new media (e.g. games) that look a lot like shows but are more interactive, to things (e.g. social sites and apps) that have little in common with movies and TV except competing with them for finite audience attention. Some of the best ideas may initially look like they're serving the movie and TV industries. Microsoft seemed like a technology supplier to IBM before eating their lunch, and Google did the same thing to Yahoo. It would be great if what people did instead of watching shows was exercise more and spend more time with their friends and families. Maybe they will. All other things being equal, we'd prefer to hear about ideas like that. But all other things are decidedly not equal. Whatever people are going to do for fun in 20 years is probably predetermined. Winning is more a matter of discovering it than making it happen. In this respect at least, you can't push history off its course. You can, however, accelerate it. What's the most entertaining thing you can build? |

Hasn't America already signed ACTA some time ago? And you still watch anime and tv series online there, right? ( <- question to american users) Maybe it won't be that devastating. Come on, can the government/internet provider really follow all people moves in the internet? Sounds like science-fiction. Or "1984". I think that majority of films, tv series and stuff has already moved to the internet. Government should accept that and, if they do (really do) want to stop piracy, provide some solution online instead of blocking access to some websites. For example, sites with high quality films where you pay for watching (but not too much) and money goes to the film's creators. And fighting piracy at the same time. Sounds too utiopia-like... okay, maybe it's not possible at all... And of course - stop ACTA, long live freedom! |

There's nothing you can do really, except spreading the word and uphold the protests. |

Good old Eminent Domain. It's been around since right around the American Civil War I believe (not a history guy, not even of my own country, so don't quote me on that). They do at least have to offer "fair compensation," though, whatever they'll decide that means. |

ACTA or how to rape the world's economy. -Rich will get richer -Poor will get poorer -Most people that download illegaly mp3/movies/animes won't ever pay for them so it will result in the product being less known which will in the end produce less money on the long term. -Because of said product not being as much widely known as it was when it was actually possible to get it for free the production studios will have to invest more into publicity which will result in work which less quality which will also result in a drop in the sale. For country such as Japan where anime/manga is actually a big part of the economy this will be a huge blow and will result in Japan's economy dropping quite a while. Meanwhile chinese people get beated up behind school, car run on child, rapist rape, murderer kill and many people die of poverty but hey, these event are IRL. Who care about IRL when you have internet. |

My thoughts exactly. I dont understand one thing. 95 % of WORLDS society is against ACTA, SOPA etx and they still going to be signed.... So this means that really words like democracy, freedom are just bullsh@t. We're going back to Socialism I think that the present time ( few months, maybe 1 year or 2 from now) will be very important. It will determine what will happen with our freedom. I will say it again Because the statement that all those SOPAs PIPAs ACTAs are created just to destroy piracy is f@cking bullsh@t What will stop them from using those laws to restrain the whole internet. Politics, companies will control all the materials ( for example they will delete messages that are criticizing them). They will have the power and there will always be person to use it Its like with dna manipulation. The cause is good ( saving human lives, cure for cancer, to prevent hunger etx) But its also ( very:P) possible that some maniac will rise and use this technology to for example to create a human perfect army etx ( so he will use it for evil- yes i love SF and Fantasy) Those laws give to much power and restrain the internet Ok im going to watch few anime when i still can. Few hours till Japan sings ACTA |

I must buy a few external hard drives and download a mass collection of anime. I don't have the money to buy them or the internet speed to download the mass collection that comes to mind. I plan on watching the videos someone posted about acta but I'm at college right now. Maybe I can find some blogs or something about it to read for now. If acta got passed the internet wouldn't be the same anymore. |

I wasn't really talking about any country in particular. I live in the united states and according to other peoples' comments its already passed here. 2013 is real soon when you think about it. The other things it mentioned in that one video is horrible too. Some people really rely on generic drugs. I take a generic anti depressant but that's not life threatening really but what about the poor people with cancer or certain diseases. I don't really understand the thing about the seeds though. |

Romania signed ACTA. I've got nothing to say, no comment. I'm thinking of cutting myself from the Internet, lol. There are two good things though. Seems like ACTA won't be put into action in EU if it isn't voted by all EU countries in June. Apparently, Netherlands, Estonia, Cyprus, Slovakia and Germany didn't sign the agreement, so nothing will happen for now (way to go to those countries), at least until June. The second thing is this (apparently this is was the site of the Romanian National Institute of Physics and Nuclear Engineering - lol, I didn't open anything from there, but seems like garbage) - LE - seems like it's finally down, lol. |

The only free source of knowledge will be gone and since books are expensive already, the future generation will only turn dumber and dumber.

More service like Crunchyroll's will probably see the day if ACTA is put in action. Crunchyroll pay for the liscence to stream the anime they do so watching anime on CR is completely legal. The problem now is that this service is not available world-wide. When pirating anime will become impossible then someone in EU might see profit in doing a CR-like business and he will do. I don't think those service will stay free though but they might be offered for a small monthly price much more interesting than actually buying anime DVD/BR. It also wouldn't be impossible for the actually good subber to start doing professionaly work for said agency because let's face it: CR got a few good subber but most of them are average at best. ACTA is bad, i'm against it but when I see people whining only because they won't be able to watch anime anymore and not because of how morally wrong this whole treaty is then it makes me a sad panda. |

The so called attack against piracy, is actually an attack against bloggers and freedom of speech on the internet. Like they give a damn about us downloading movies and mp3's illegaly. But did you know that the news and articles of various news agencies, and the images and videos therein, are also copyrighted? With laws such as SOPA/PIPA/ACTA these will be affected too, as in others will not be able to reproduce these articles, images and videos in their sites which will therefore result in a monopoly of opinion on the internet by the official news agencies. I think this is their true goal. To reign in the internet freedom of speech and alternative news and opinions. |

And even though is not as good as reading a book, it's still better than nothing. Yeah your right. Thats why i think that rather creating ACTA ( and all those problems that it comes with - restricting the internet, freedom of speech etx) they should create a new price policy. I know its nothing new but really if they would fight piracy with lower prices it would be beneficial to all And they should stop talking b@llshit that with lower prices it wouldn't be cost-effective.If in todays world with piracy a movie /music star earns hundreds of dollars for a singe role in a movie/concert then it means thats cost-effective. And for example screenwriters must protest cause they don't have money ( and their work is often much more important then the actors) They just need a change in the industry politics not in the internet kodial said: I think this is their true goal To reign in the internet freedom of speech and alternative news and opinions. Yeah All those ACTAS are not a fight against piracy. Its a fight to have power over internet. And thats the saddest thing for me. Politicians are saying that they are doing it for the good of society In reality its all about power |

As i said many time the strong openness of the internet feels very threatening to them and they want to turn it into another control medium in the way they managed to basically control most of the usual press like papers and TV. |

I am not worried until congress enacts legislation enacting it into law.It is a treaty regardless of what Obama is trying to call it and as such it needs congress to write legislation to enact it into law. I do not know if anyone remembers that illegal in Texaswho was executed several months age for raping and murdering a 16 year old girl , he tried claiming his consular rights were denied. The supreme court said that even though the US signed a treaty granting consular rights congress must enact legislation in order for that international law to apply. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leal_Garcia_v._Texas Leal Garcia v. Texas The Court did not stay the execution because Congress must enact legislation in order for international law to apply. |

Anonymous hacked the website of my country's Ministry of Justice today. Demanding our politicians should not sign ACTA. Which they did, anyway. However I'm thankful that they tried. Though I still don't trust them, they said big truths in the video that they uploaded on the hacked site. For that I'm thankful too. I guess it won't hurt to support them in their fight against ACTA, at least. |
Signature? I ain't got no signature! I don't need no signature! I don't have to show you any stinkin' signature! |

By the way, if anyone wants to help, you can sign this Anti-ACTA petition which will be delivered to decision-makers in Brussels :] https://secure.avaaz.org/en/eu_save_the_internet_spread/?slideshow |

Other than that in a very possible dystopian soon-to-come future, they will round us up for signing up there. :P Oh no problem, they're gonna get me anyway! |

Yes as kodial said Online petitions aren't very useful. But you can start a real petition. In Poland 3 students managed to create a anti-Acta petition to polish government with over 250 thousand signatures. If this continuous ( hopefully) we will have a referendum |
