This must be stopped at all cost. Why are governments around the world pandering to giant corporations who are trading in information be it entertainment or otherwise and putting the profits of these companies ahead of fundamental freedoms and rights of everyday people. Orwellian predictions of the future saw this kind of big brother society, but who would have thought it would evolve to protect the entertainment industry. These people must be stopped.
This treaty, if it was passed is as much a threat to people freedom as terrorism and rouge states, if not more so. It bypasses the presumption of innocence, due process, right to privacy, and freedom of information, and for what? to protect companies like Warner and Universal? Again, why are Governments changing laws so that companies can force people to adopt to their business models rather than said companies actually wake up and face the realities if the 21st cenuary.
Write to your politicians, MEP’s and whoever else you can think of and make sure this treaty and others like it never see the light of day. What’s more, consumer protection needs to be put in place so consumers are protected from the insane over reaching imperial ambitions of the entertainment industry. Remember, this isn’t even to protect artists, this is so companies who are effectively trading in the ownership of information trying to make it so it’s a far greater crime to download a song from the internet than it is to steal a car, or rob a bank. You can’t invade a persons privacy to investigate these crimes without a warrant or a some form of due process but it will be ok to do far worse without any sort of due process to investigate so called copyright infringement. What the hell????
Ahhhrrrggghhhhhh.
