Bad thread maker. Bad!

Not only has this been done before very recently, but you didn't add links, no specifics. Hell you didn't even bother to offer your own views on this subject.

Edit: For prospective posters might I offer a few links?

There are also numerous threads about the other areas the US goverment and other governments are cracking down on piracy.

Even if the UK did not have to abide by the terms of the treaty the fact that the US which is the largest chunk of English language websites and the location of the vast majority of the top traffic websites has to would effect you immensely. That's not even considering that Europe, Australia, Canada, and many others are also signing this thing.

Edit: I wanted to make it clear that the I understand that the UK as to abide by the treaty as well. I was just making the point that this is going to change things for everyone, even people in countries that are not signing this thing.

No. No yay you.

It effects us just as much. ACTA = the internet's Doom, everywhere.

I mean I wont get my stuff searched. My knowledge is pretty limited on it but this is what I understand. I know it's still bad for me but It could be worse is what im saying.

EDIT: Will it effect site's like The Escapist?

Um.......Not sure about that. But it is more than likely.

 

[Jetut]

YES it will effect the Escapist. A little

They would ban a community art website just to stop pirating. isn't that going to far especially when the artists can choose whether the download button is made for the image in question.
