[16.07.12] Internet Censorship and Copyright Legislation

[Melinie10]

Ok, now as i know so far SOPA/PIPA/ACTA/Lawful Access.....They are taking our rights to how to live on the internet.Everyone know that to survive on the internet your gonna have to do some things that fight against these rules BUT they also do more things that arent an act
Part 1:
Ok so when youtube and facebook "blacked out" it wasnt the end of the world, but it made us bored and feel so stupid that we couldnt think of anything to do, and its also making us lose connection to our friends and fun videos that we can watch that we can start conversations about so we aren't bored.
Part 2:
Even the cites that have vids like i dont know out of randomocity here : We want to watch a bambi movie, We put it on youtube, It shouldn't be removed we LEGALLY PURCHASED it, and this is just "Sharing with the people who cant afford to enjoy the films" or..."Dont want to buy the movie unless they like it, then they an purchase the film to watch over and over and over again" Its legal and can probably help the bussiness, most likely the presidant or senates or people who agreed to the law do the things metioned in the laws that bans things, You will be bored without it!!
Part 3:
In this economic crisis ,yes CRISIS, some people can't afford to pay "150,000 for illegally putting or sharing a movie with family and friends over email" THESE PEOPLE ARE TAKING THE MONEY while we can barely make they want to make the money for themselves and mostly wont care who they push out of the way to save their butts.
Part 4:
We all know that what you do they cant blame others for it. Example: "Jessica borrowed $5 from her friend Amy, 7 minuets later Patrica comes over and says she needs $5 for lunch." oh no! we have a problem!! "Patrica says 'WHAT YOU GIVE 5 BUCKS TO HER BUT NOT ME!!!'" see now here's the bad part!!! amy didn't know patrica needed money too and it wasnt her fault she didnt wait for patrica, she didnt know anything she had some money and gave it to jessica who asked first......Now we cant blame the owners of a website for letting a child access a cite with out parent or guardians permission they didnt know!! or upload a movie and then their parents get a fine for what the child doesnt know -.- so they should back off these laws!!!!!
Finally these laws should just quit we are petitioning AGAINST it and these laws take away our freedom WHERE'S OUR LIBERTY I WANT MINE!

SOPA has been put away for now. ACTA, Lawful Access, and H.R. 1981 are legislatures/treaties (laws) that certain governments are trying to put into place. They say their goal is to stop pirating and child pornography, but in the pursuit they will rob us of our freedoms.
Basically...
-They will get to freely take information of everything you do on the internet - anything you download, upload, and any personal information.
-They will fine/jail anyone taking part in pirating, which means if you could have to pay $15000 for a downloaded movie.
-Any website featuring copyrighted material (anything they do not own, so a video or picture) will be shut down - even if it only has a link to another website with that copyrighted information.

And while that's only for those laws, just think what they could do once they have control of the internet? Once they have their foot in the door it's only a matter of time before they censor what they don't want their people to hear/see/say.

But I could be wrong, so it's best if you take a look at the information provided on page 1.

The congress is a mouse-brain, being in jail just for downloading a movie!? Ugh.....I really want to kill ACTA and scream at the congress right now!!!  my dad and my grandma might lose their jobs if the bills pass and I don't want that to happen to them and the other people who got jobs!!!!!! -crys-

UPDATE: Poland has signed ACTA- the first European country to do so. Spread the word to your friends, get those petitions out there.

I really want to help but I'm only a kid. Is there anything us kids can do to kill ACTA?

Well, there's nothing stopping you from signing the petitions.
But what you can do is to know as much as you can about the subject and let others know about it - tell your parents, tell your friends, instruct your class, and they can do the same.

That's good. Just remember, though, I have my own opinion on this, just as many others believe ACTA and such to be a bad thing, but there are others who disagree. Develop your own opinion and be respectful of others'.
