I am not 100% an advocate of the EFF, don’t get me wrong. But the ACTA “Three Strikes” idea makes me sick. This proposal would steal our rights to internet content – I don’t mean our rights to illegal internet content, I just mean our rights at all. This proposal would cause an ISP to remove the internet from your house (your ip address) based on anyone merely saying three times that you did something illegal, whether there is any proof that it happened or not. Allowing anyone, let alone ISPs, dispense justice without any defense or trial is severely WRONG.

I don’t know what we can do to stop either of these things, but we shouldn’t just ignore them.
Awareness must happen first. You’re helping with that, at the very least.
Thanks! I didn’t really think these two things fit together in one post – but they were both on my mind, so I combined them anyway.
I certainly was not aware of either of these matters at first. Thank you.
Such interesting read and information, thanks for sharing this post. I will check back to read your other new posts.
