Full script:
Can you imagine your Internet Service Provider policing everything you do online?
Can you imagine generic drugs that could save lives being banned?
Can you imagine seeds that could feed 1000′s being controlled and withheld in the name of patents?
This will become reality with ACTA.
ACTA is the Anti Counterfeiting Trade Agreement.
Disguised as a Trade Agreement, ACTA goes much, much further than that.
For the past 3 years, ACTA has been negotiated in secret by 39 countries.
But the negotiators are not democratically elected representatives.
They don’t represent us, but they are deciding laws behind our backs.
Bypassing our democratic processes, they impose new criminal sanctions to stop online file sharing.
ACTA aims to make Internet Service & Access Providers legally responsible for what their users do online, turning them into Private Copyright Police & Judge, censoring their networks.
The chilling effects on free speech would be terrible.
In the name of patents, ACTA would give large corporations the power to stop generic drugs before they reach them people who need them, and stop the use of certain seeds for crops.
The European Parliament will soon vote on ACTA.
This vote will be the occasion to say no once and for all to this dangerous treaty.
As citizens, we must urge our representatives to reject ACTA.
NO TO ACTA.

RT @tiredbees: Say NO to ACTA – http://t.co/iiu0vPxo #ACTA #VOTD
Yet another unenforceable law, just like fox hunting with dogs. BT has already expressed its view that it is a carrier of information, no more, no less, and if people want to abuse the service it is not their problem. Let the appropriate authorities (police / governments / PRS et al) do that.
So are they going to ban recording tools and media as well (just like you cannot film school sports days). It has become very silly. I can’t put a guitar around a child’s neck because I might have to touch them and I am not security cleared, and worse still, the clearing process is broken. We cannot film children (we have to turn the cameras off when Alex is performing at AFOBAM because she is only 15).
I know who is behind ACTA – an industry that is in decline because of technology progress – and they mustn’t get away with it. At least they think they are in decline because the industry has become much more diverse, but we still need actors, musicians, directors, producers (and all the other talent). It’s just that the money made doesn’t line the pockets of the few anymore.
All that said, copyright infringement is wrong, but it has to be dealt with sensibly.
