ACTA in a Nutshell –
What is ACTA? ACTA is the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement. A new intellectual property enforcement treaty being negotiated by the United States, the European Community, Switzerland, and Japan, with Australia, the Republic of Korea, New Zealand, Mexico, Jordan, Morocco, Singapore, the United Arab Emirates, and Canada recently announcing that they will join in as well.
Why should you care about ACTA? Initial reports indicate that the treaty will have a very broad scope and will involve new tools targeting “Internet distribution and information technology.”
What is the goal of ACTA? Reportedly the goal is to create new legal standards of intellectual property enforcement, as well as increased international cooperation, an example of which would be an increase in information sharing between signatory countries’ law enforcement agencies.

SOPA:
- Gives the government the right to unilaterally censor foreign websites.
- Gives copyright holders the right to issue economic takedowns and bring lawsuits against website owners and operators, if those websites have features that make it possible to post infringing content. [A comment feature is enough.]
- Makes it a felony offense to post a copyrighted song or video.
This bill turns us all into criminals. If it passes, then you either stop using the Internet, or you simply hope that you never end up in the crosshairs, because if you’re targeted, you will be destroyed by this bill. You don’t have to be a big, mean, nasty criminal — common Internet usage is effectively criminalized under this law. This bill will kill American innovation and development of the Internet, as it will become too risky to do anything of value. It is toxic and dangerous, and should not, under any circumstances, be supported.
cheerfulI want to have green eyes!
So I bought contact lenses. I always wanted to change my look and I wanted to try new things. Voila! I have contact lenses. The problem is that I'm having trouble putting them on. It's the hardest thing to do. Call me a baby but I get squeamish trying to force this bloody thing into my eye. How do you guys do it anyway?
I found a really useful video online so I'll try it later... When my eyes have quit hurting so much. I think they're irritated with me. I should hope not. I spent a lot on them so I want to use them.
It's very funny because I will resemble Ariel from Disney's The Little Mermaid after this. Or Lily Potter. Red hair + green eyes = Guys Want Redheads. This is too much fun! :)
