Google Chrome	I'm probably not in the best state of mind to be arguing for and against any causes at the moment, but I do know that it's important to stand up against laws like SOPA and PIPA, but we mustn't neglect ACTA. In theory it's very much similar to SOPA but right now I don't feel like there is enough attention being aimed towards this legislation as there was before, so I would appreciate if those that are so helpful in finding articles based on SOPA and PIPA could do the same for ACTA. If you are unaware of what it is, here is a helpful video brought to my attention once again by TotalBiscuit. Please PLEASE Watch this, post here, post on your facebook, Tumblr, MySpace, Bebo, whatever it is you use, and tell people about it. Post the video to them if you need to. It's important. Thank you.

If you're not sure about it read the wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-Counterfeiting_Trade_Agreement The main difference here is that it's supposedly a world agreement, sort of like a UN for internet, but still plenty of people (countries) oppose it and don't recognize it. Countries that agreed to it, and signed are: The United States, Australia, Canada, Korea, Japan, New Zealand, Morocco, and Singapore. Was secretly signed about 3-4 months ago, but has been in drafts for years now. Edited by Cal, Jan 23 2012, 01:47 AM.

Has it really done anything? Seems like a few countries who signed it don't agree with it either.

FireFox Favourite Manga Fruits Basket	I believe Irland are suppost to be signing up to this soon. The really bad thing about this is that it has been done in secrate. Not sure how it will be handled in the UK, some form of parliamentry vote may have to take place to sign it. UK readers can sign the No to ACTA petition on the UK Government petition site: http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/20685

A guy signed this (and helped create it) on our part who's not even an elected official. Now the congress is pissed because they feel they bypassed legal procedures. This is about to be one huge can of worms in the US. Edited by Cal, Jan 26 2012, 03:36 AM.

I've not heard a single thing about this until now and even now that's only because of you guys. On TV and stuff over here it hasn't been mentioned.

I'm stunned to know places like NZ, etc signed this to begin with.

It's a bigger issue than it might look. There is legitimacy in posting this, but I was thinking (as I usually do) that everyone is from America. On another forum someone from America just started a petition about it, and we're all like you're stupid.
