Luckily it seems ACTA is dying a slow and painful death in the EU. Now we just need to stop
CISPA and TPP. Never compromise basic human rights to support reactionary business.

^I don't always agree with Ron Paul, but when I do, it is on issues such as these.

The House of Representatives has approved Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act with a vote count of 248-168. The bill is now headed for the Senate. President Barack Obama will be able to sign or cancel it pending Senate approval.
Initially slated to vote on the bill Friday, the House of Representatives decided to pass Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA) Thursday after approving a number of amendments.
Apart from cyber and national security purposes, the bill would now allow the government to use private information obtained through CISPA for the investigation and prosecution of “cybersecurity crime,” protection of individuals and the protection of children. The new clauses define “cybersecurity crime” as any crime involving network disruption or hacking.
“Basically this means CISPA can no longer be called a cyber security bill at all. The government would be able to search information it collects under CISPA for the purposes of investigating American citizens with complete immunity from all privacy protections as long as they can claim someone committed a 'cybersecurity crime.' Basically it says the Fourth Amendment does not apply online, at all,” Techdirt's Leigh Beadon said.
Declan McCullagh, correspondent from CNET News, says CISPA will cause more trouble than is immediately apparent.
“The most controversial section of CISPA is the language – that notwithstanding any other portion the of law, companies can share what they want as long as it’s for what they call a ‘cyber security purpose,'" he told RT.

One of the scariest things I saw in a long time.
He sounds like a caricature from a Cohen Brothers movie.

Ted's had the same message for America, freedom, gun rights, hunting etc...for decades. I dig him and his work ethic. A bit in-your-face...you bet. He does a lot of good. He's no caricature - that's just him. Emperor's of course is a figure of speech

Hmm, I really, really, really disagree with you on that subject.
TN is a gun toting, trigger happy redneck hillbilly ignorant, who's NRA audience will have
slim to no chance of knowing when he is speaking figuratively and literally.
He reminds me of the rednecks in 'Deliverance' which were foul caricatures indeed.
His ignorant defence of gun rights support a culture of violence and killing of citizens.
The US an the US only have this massive problem of ordinary citizens killing each other
by a factor of 5 compared to most other civilized countries.
I can't strongly enough condemn the kind of rhetorics and opinions he presents in this clip.
PS: I absolutely respect if this topic is closed after replies such as my own

Morgenthaler, you are correct in saying that the US has more citizens killing citizens than most other civilzed countries, or even all of them. Gun laws do not stop criminals from acquiring and using guns. They only hurt the people like my father who had two pistols. He had to get a license and there was a waiting period, backround check etc. Criminals circumvent all of that. Im no supporter of TN when it comes to politics, but he is not any more loony than the left.
