Please Google the ACTA Treaty and help spread the word. The future of the internet as we know it is in danger and if this becomes law we can forget about building websites. If you're a Twitter user, please tweet about the ACTA treaty. While copyrighted material should be protected, it shouldn't put the future of the internet and our freedom in danger.

As it stands, the leaks suggest Internet users around the world are headed for a new regime of IP enforcement - a culture of invasive searches, minimal privacy, guilt until innocence is proven, and measures that would kill our normative behaviors of file-sharing, free software, media downloading, creative remixing, and even certain civil liberties.

That ISPs have to cut off the Internet access of accused copyright infringers or face liability. This means that your entire family could be denied to the internet -- and hence to civic participation, health information, education, communications, and their means of earning a living -- if one member is accused of copyright infringement, without access to a trial or counsel.

Sorry for the quick thread. I'm still in shock about what's written but I think it's important for every internet user to know what's going on and to help put a stop to this.
