SOPA/PIPA bad? Look at ACTA.

  I want a new bill, one that prevents the US from thinking it owns the internet.

  
  
  that'd be great if it's just the US
  this is Japan, Australia and some other countries

  In other words, the only way to win this one is to stop all the powerful countries. That isn't going to happen. It would require a miracle of a massive worldwide protest and possibly violence to stop this.
  
  Bills/Laws that are in the US are easy to stop and oppose. International treaties is another. However, if I recall correctly 2/3 of Congress need to vote in approval of a treaty for it to be in effect for the US. So if we get our congressmen to vote against the treaty. Just maybe, we have a chance.

  I have an idea, lets go to Lamar smith, hold an AK-47 to his smug faucking face and blow his faucking head off already.
  
  Doesn't anyone see that he's an international terrorist?

  I'd love to see an assassin take out all of the leaders of the organizations that support it and all of the senators that support it.

  If what I hear is correct, ACTA would not only fauck up sharing on the internet, but it'd make Nexon toast when it comes to localizing content for games. Since it's "sharing" and "copyrighted", other national branches of Nexon games will be prosecuted for pirating content that was made by another branch.
  
  That means no more content from Kr, or japan because they're the original authors of the content they give out. This also applies to companies like VALVe who use promotional items in team fortress 2.
  
  This would drive a huge spear of fauck through MMO companies.

  Um, nope. Completely wrong there. They all would have the necessary licenses to make the promotional stuff/use stuff from other branches of a company =/.

  Ha, I could go to jail simply over my character names used in Mabinogi. I can see how this make some of you mad, but violence isn't the answer. It's a possible stepping stone on the road to the answer.
