Another Crappy Technological Agreement A.C.T.A.
Sunday, April 18th, 2010A.C.T.A. is a trade agreement that is being discussed behind closed doors. It is trying to increase regulations on pirates, but not only pirates themselves. It is apparent from leaked files that they also want to regulate I.S.P.’s and force them to report any known offenders to authorities and basically want to use the government to ensure the future of big business, and that’s what the fascist states of America does is continue the symbiotic relationship between big business and big government.
Three strikes is something that was initially in this agreement and still is part of it, though not in any enforceable way, the document still contains a recommendation that it would be a good way of enforcing piracy violators. basically three strikes is a way of punishing offenders by starting light and eventually to strong punishment.
It is also evident that heavier regulations of bit torrent sites will occur in the future following passage of this document, it may not be as strong as what the RIAA wants the government to do at international airports, which is to install a spyware program to delete any and all elicit music. which is totally orwellian and wrong but thats just my unsolicited opinion. Well it’s not entirely unsolicited since you’re on my site, reading my post.
Another part of the released document would try to force I.S.P.’s to rat out any possibly infringing parties connected to their respective services… in other words they are trying to force companies to tattle on their own customers for the “benefit” of the movie, music, and gaming industries. One would think the I.S.P.’s would put up a harder fight than they currently are, and on that same note nerds and geeks and gamers alike should also be raising hell because of this patriot act for the internet. i might have to move to Europe to get the freedoms that I thought were guaranteed in the “greatest of all nations” but it seems that the constitution is only applied when in the benefit of big business and to hell with the rest of us.
