ACTA Vs Anonymous

[Zer_]

ACTA used eliminate freedom of speech.

It's super effective.

A wild Constitution appears.

ACTA fainted.

That's how it's going to go folks.

Not really, no. I wish it were so but it won't work that way. ACTA is a treaty, therefore it will not pass through congress.

That's the point. It'll be struck down by the Supreme Court a year or so later.

The Constitution trumps all treaties if I am correct.

Also, on an unrelated note, it's funny watching people who have no real idea what anonymous is talk about anonymous.

There will be no court cases with ACTA... Any copywright holder can tell your ISP to search your computer for illegal content, and then you will receive one "strike". Once you reach three, you will be banned from using the internet, and yeah, sure you'll also be eligible to go to prison.

Yes, the while thing is unconstitutional, but you can't simply rely on the constitution to save you, lest you must defend your rights.

The point is though, it will be struck down in eventuality.

Of course you're part right though and most people aren't smart enough to care.

It's ironic that the very freedom that allows us such fun is eventually destroyed by the freedom of the masses to be stupid.

In my eyes the government has no right to pass ACTA without the consent of the governed.

Exactly how I feel.

Not really, no. I wish it were so but it won't work that way. ACTA is a treaty, therefore it will not pass through congress.

Exactly my concern.

I aint reading the whole thread, i dont need to.

If you bunch of pussies want things to change, lets get violent about shit... Yeah, words do speak louder than actions.... SOMETIMES. Once in a while peopples gotta physical 'bout shit.

Anyone REALLY tries to take away my freedom, i am gonna rip out thier rib out through thier ass hole

Speaking as someone who HAS gotten violent over political issues ( and others );
I can say that if the "battle" isn't won first on a PR front, the forces one may face arrayed against them may be insurmountable.
To use an example if i may, the "South African" police and paramiltary organizations never LOST an engagement - but they lost the "war" because of world opinion.
This is why we riot when we know it is tactically a lost cause ( the 'win' is stealing a tactical victory and then leaving before it escalates to seeing if ex-marine snipers ara better than the police snipers ).
I know too many people more professional than I ever was, who work "Low Intensity Combat".
Trust me, trust them - you don't want to be on the side of an insurrection in the modern era.

The only way to win an "unwinnable" battle? Maneuver around it.
Understand that if you engage in violence without being seen as "right" and "in self-defense", you only harm your cause. So, back to my beginning - if you'd fight for your freedom you have to "win" the PR battle for "right" first.

I hope you all realize that regardless of this treaty being singed or not, the creation of an international treaty merely means that said signing governments will do their best to create national-local laws that are drafted to comply with the stated agreements...
As always none of this will matter with the coming of the zombies; but you already knew that.

LOL.
But the post was full of valid points.
Nonetheless, I would rather be an "alarmist" than asleep.
The "sleepers' are the bleating zombies I am most afraid of.

Wait... I thought the whole point of Anonymous was that you were supposed to be, you know, Anonymous. By this comment alone I have deduced that you live in Adams County, Pennsylvania which has a population of 91,292 (as of the 2000 census)... thats divided the possibilities of who you could be by approx. 76,677.0363.

Now, as a sign of respect I have snipped your info in case you wish to edit your comment and if you do so I too will change mine to remove said info too... I will change it to a "I like your hat." message or something, maybe something slightly relevent to this topic even.

Also, as you are connected to 'Anonymous' any idea what they actually have planned for this whole ACTA nonesense?

EDIT: Oh and there are A LOT of Adams County's... would have made it easier if there was only one.

Lol, looking at ip addresses are we?

No, no. Dont confuse me for someone talented in the art of computing, I merely applied my limited knowledge to do a bit of sluething... you could have said "Nope, I live in one of the many other Adams County's." or "Nope, never even heard of Adams County." and I would be none the wiser. But, given your response I can safely say I was right... dont worry though, I live many thousands of miles away and couldnt possibly do anything with this info.

Yeah you were right. I know you can find out the general area of where someone is by looking at the ip address. What's interesting, is I think I posted in this thread before I was even in Adams county, where I now am.

Might you share your sleuthing technique with an interested person?

 

[someotherguy]

If anon wins this, they will shake the entire world, if they win this, privacy will be stronger than ever and censorship weakened. This will shake the foundations of states, Providences, nations, governments. This, my friends, will be history. Anon does not involve itself in something unless it is serious, and has gotten to far.

/warspeech over. Sorry. This is awesome.

Okay, but it is a pretty well guarded technique... Right, ever heard of this thing called "Google"?

I literally just used that with the limited info you already provided, connect a couple of dots, eliminate the improbable, bing, bang and boom. Got my answer. The specifics just came from Wiki and basic division.

Kinda shattered the illusion, I enjoyed being thought of as somewhat of a "super" slueth for that short moment. Ah well.

lol. Congrats.

Btw, if you're ever interested, Pipl.com is a very useful website for similar purposes.

 

[icyneesan]

As long as Anonymous doesn't get the world banned from the internet I'm ok with that.

You laugh at that statement now, but mark my words. Some day someone will do something so retarded on the Internet, that the world leaders will have to get together, and shut down the Internet.

MARK MY WORDS!!!

Nah, I am not really interested in finding people... just wanted to let you know in case you were intent on remaining completely anonymous.

 

[Isolda Sage]

disregard this post.

This is why I'm a libertarian, we don't need a bigger, more intrusive government, and if people are going to be telling me that less government means more power for the corporations, think about this: if the government isn't as powerful, then there's less that a special interest can use it for and get from it. Think about it. I mean, just making the state more powerful isn't going to keep the shit disturbers away, because a government is made of people, and giving a person absolute power is a perfect way to corrupt absolutely. I'd rather have the organization of the state itself be a form of corruption damage control by being weak enough to keep the damage under control.

I concur.I am extremely concerned that the current Administration would love to get it's hand on this kind of power. At least with corporations we can vote with our wallets; which seems to be much better motivating factor than voting with a ballot. I for one am seriously considering dumping Comcast. If comcast loses enough costumers they will back off this ACTA thing in a heartbeat.

Just something else Hideo Kojima warned us about.

It's the La-Li-Lu-Le-Lo, guys...

...Wait...why can't I say the La-Li-Lu-Le-Lo?

...Dear God...

My question is, why do people still insist on referring to anonymous as a group? They're kind of the opposite of an organization. A loose collective of wannabe anarchists with too much time. People are rolled into it like a katamari and sometimes bits fall off.

That's as organised as "anonymous" get.
