And you're actually going to believe a quote from a politician, never mind that it's two years old and doesn't mesh with the information that has come out since then.

Being from Canada, I'd think you'd be a bit more wary about such things seeing as how American companies just wrote your new copyright act that's on the fast track to becoming law.

you are so sad to take that so personally. And you think i give a shit about this act? I pay for my cd and movies because i collect them. This treaty has no bearing on me. Therefore I only felt the effort to type in "Acta" in google, and posted the first quote i found :P

Choke on a bag of it please

You must go to pubs and crawl up to women saying "hey baby... You've heard of me right? I'm the drunken hacker form ZD! No? Well... *leans in for a whisper* I'm kind of a big deal

"

please..get over yourself. lol

You clearly have no understanding as to what's being put into place. You do realize that under ACTA, Zophar's Domain would be declared illegal, right? Emulators are blatantly illegal under ACTA. Hell, in the Netherlands it's now considered an act of piracy to mention that a copyrighted file is available for download at another location. It was ruled that saying "Such-and-such-movie is available on such-and-such-usenet-group." is illegal. It's all well and good to say that that isn't going to happen outside of the Netherlands but similar things have already happened in the US, such as the ruling that it was illegal to link to a site that offered the DeCSS software.

And where in my post was there any indication whatsoever that I was taking your post "personally"? You seem to be suffering from whatever disorder it is that causes shawn to respond to things that were never said in the first place.

I may not agree with everything you say, but this is one subject on which I can agree wholeheartedly. Things like ACTA definitely are serious business that should worry us all.
