Yes, this is even more serious, in June the EU could possibly sign a bill that is basically a censorship bill made sound like an act against 'Piracy'
It will not only effect the EU but America signed on for it two years ago, so if it is ratified it'll effect you too Americans. And Japanese.
It will be kept within the parliament or whatever and it won't the public's decision. Think of all the sights being censored, youtube, facebook, pr0n, (If you are a pirate) - the pirate bay. And Many, many more.
At a whim, without debate they have the power to block or take down any website they want.
Also they punish us with a three strike system for trying to access this 'copyright infringement' material. They can disconnect our internet or fine us. I even heard reports that they are allowed to search our ipods etc. for pirated music in customs and airports.
It is a ridiculous bill and kills free speech, harms businesses by disabling advertisement, blocks original content, adds difficulties to rising stars etc. because of fear of copyright and it'll also mean there won't be any more youtube parodies. Please someone think of the lolcats!
This will ruin the internet, even after repeated requests they still haven't released a full description of the bill, they are being purposely vague to trick us.
So do your bit, stand up for your freedom of speech and ring your MPs, sign the petition and rally support like those in Poland.
IT EFFECTS EVERYONE.
Thnak you.
