    Haha! I laughed my ass off when this happened. Those idiots just won't understand that anyone, even a tortoise, can easily bypass those restrictions.

    It's understandable for example musicians' incomes have significantly decreased due to piratism, but it's just impossible to get rid off it.

    Musicians' income? You mean the content rights mafia's income. In most cases the musicians only get a fraction of the selling income. True it still affects them the same way, but its the big companies that have by far the most to gain from ACTA, at the cost of peoples' freedoms.

    Interesting how I got banned for a couple of spam posts whereas some people are doing it at the moment and in the Serious Discussion section.

    No only musicians, but also game developers, movie makers and etc. are losing income. I know that content rights mafia deprives musicians of the profit they're actually making. Still, some mucisians's living depends on the sales. As I said before, I'd definitely buy more CDs and so on, if the money would entirely go to the creator of the product.

    @Lurker: Yes, I know well.

    @Remco: So you now need to read videos?

    If you can't add something to the discussion, don't add anything at all.

    I read somewhere people are going to protest all over Europe, next Saturday.
    Do you think people can still do something about this treaty?

    I'm already starting to see the "This video is not available for your country" thing WAY more often on YouTube now... The ironic part of it is, I was watching live videos of a Finnish band.

    A Finnish group's recordings aren't allowed to be watched in Finland.

    <3 you Content Mafia.

    Well I'm not going to change the way I behave, still going to download everything just like before and still not care if someone finds out. Living on the edge fuck yeah.

    Also, I have kind of lost faith in these protests. Most people just sign a petition and swear to do whatever is in their power to do ti fight for the cause, but so often forget to mention that they will only do so as long as it doesnt require them to get their assess off their computer chairs and actually get something done. It's very easy to just sign an internet petition and pretend as if it matters, rather than go out there and actually make a difference.
