Not going to happen, not going to bother with any of this.

This is just like SOPA. Everyone gets a fucking hype about it, and then its gets blown off.

No, it is called:
Elder Scrolls 2: UK Lootfest
London Riots: The electric boogaloo
Or simply: GTA:London.

Anyone who claims it'll be "Blown off" or "never will happen" are uneducated when it comes to monetary economics, politics and businesses.
The first draft of ACTA has already been passed, YouTube videos stop people from certain countries viewing a video. No, 75% are not legitimate either.
Providing that you have coorperations still paying the government to pass the bills/legislations, this will never stop.
Also take into account that it will never benefit humanity, ever. It's simply designed for coorperations to take control of the internet, make more money, pay politicians, and repeat the cycle.
Dominating the market is what they want, and they're greedy for power. Remember this.

Just imagine, right now in a hooker-infested motel on the outskirts of Washington D.C., SOPA is being secretly signed on the back of an old ex-stripper who is high on cocaine.

Probably right, but put a more constructive comment down next time.

Poland just signed it, and possibly Ireland. I think this might be getting somewhere.

No offense, but ACTA isn't exactly new. It's been in talks since 2008. And this is a lot different than SOPA. With SOPA, you could read it, and know exactly what the bill allowed and didn't allow. Even when making claims under decisions by the FIA (Freedom of Information Act) the United States government under both the Bush and Obama administration has not made any signs of ever telling the American people the contents of ACTA, in hopes of maintaining "national security." In other words, they don't want you to know of the shady work they do, but by not letting it be known it's even shadier.

Given you actually got into legal trouble with ACTA, you'd be pretty screwed. A defense lawyer actually has to be able to read an act before they can defend you in regards to it.

Pardon any misspellings or grammatical errors. I'm tired shitless.

What Mr. I know about politics forgot to notice, was that the first draft was already written and signed, in secret ofcourse.

ACTA ended just like SOPA. Any attempt to censor the internet will end in failure. The internets just too strong for anyone to try and limit it.
