ACTA Worse than SOPA and Classified as National Security by Obama
www.inquisitr.com/184832/acta-…
The demise of SOPA and PIPA, as temporary as it may be, means attention is now turning to ACTA (the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement). ACTA is a trade agreement that has already been signed by the United States and is even worse than SOP/PIPA. Trade Agreements do not require the same type of scrutiny that bills and laws do so ACTA was able to squeak by unnoticed. Australia, Canada, the European Union, Japan, the Republic of Korea, Mexico, Morocco, New Zealand, Singapore, Switzerland and the United States are all signatories, but pressure is already being applied to other countries to join. The EU has not yet signed ACTA but has to do so before May 2013.
The BRIC group of emerging nations – Brazil, Russia, India and China – are not part of the ACTA movement and have no serious incentive to join. The Indian government may even be forming a movement to counter the act.
As with SOPA and PIPA, ACTA takes a fairly bland idea – the right of companies to profit from their own intellectual property – and turns it into a governmental power grab and an excuse to weaken privacy on the Internet. The reason the activists are turning their attention to ACTA is that it provides the basis to criminalise almost any online activity. ACTA will give governments and large corporations the pretext to shut down any site, and imprison its owners, should there be political or corporate objections to that site’s content.Imagine a site runs a political story which is objectionable to someone in power. The site perhaps can’t be shut down because of that story, but ACTA will allow the authorities to find some other obscure breach that can be used. That’s also true of SOPA and PIPA.
Watch this video which explains the danger of ACTA.

SOPA's advantage
In three days, SOPA will shut this website down, and all what we worked for will all be naught! We will not be lazy! Creating an account in petitionswhitehouse will be easy, and always aim for the signature, no matter what! Who's with me?
Three days left, we are out of time.
The deadline for the new SOPA attack is in three days, and only 11 thousand people signed, we need 88 thousand more.
Because everyone was either too lazy or didn't take it seriously, we now all have to face the risk of possibly losing fanart.

Not that it matters now, but please sign and share. You all better hope that even if we don't reach our goal, SOPA still can't touch our stuff.
SOPA AGAIN
We just beat them last month! And now they are starting AGAIN! PLEASE SIGN!
For Americans: https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/stop-sopa-policies-trans-pacific-partnership-notice-and-staydown-efforts-and-other-policies/dXMRvNh8
For other Countries, such as France, England, etc: http://www.avaaz.org/en/stop_the_corporate_death_star/?cGWgCfb
We have until April 13th, PLEASE share with your friends! SOPA is back yet again! And barely anyone is signing!
Sly Cooper, An Animated Series On Cartoon Network
https://slycoopercntvshow.deviantart.com/
Like all Sly Cooper fans, we want the series to become an animated series on TV.
But the thing is...I want to be the one that will bring our raccoon master thief to TV.
I dream of being a TV writer/producer, voice actor, and filmmaker of cartoons for Cartoon Network and Warner brothers. I want to turn into an show on Cartoon Network, which is the perfect place to be. One episode per half hour, heists, adventures, villains, and that sly humor we love so much. Follow the same style as the games.
But unfortunate of me, I'm only an 18 year old high school who's becoming a dental hygienist to support h
