Obama Signs Internet Treaty Worse Than SOPA

[ardo]

Thursday, January 26, 2012

White House bypasses Senate to ink agreement that could allow Chinese [Japanese] companies to demand ISPs remove web content in US with no legal oversight.

Under the provisions of ACTA, copyright holders will be granted sweeping direct powers to demand ISPs remove material from the Internet on a whim. Whereas ISPs normally are only forced to remove content after a court order, all legal oversight will be abolished, a precedent that will apply globally, rendering the treaty worse in its potential scope for abuse than SOPA or PIPA.

The groups pushing the treaty also want to empower copyright holders with the ability to demand that users who violate intellectual property rights (with no legal process) have their Internet connections terminated, a punishment that could only ever be properly enforced by the creation of an individual Internet ID card for every web user, a system that is already in the works.

26 European Union member states along with the EU itself are set to sign the treaty at a ceremony today in Tokyo.

I agree to pay for music and movies that I can find in a store. But what about the other stuff that you can´t find, all the stuff that is sold out, and you can´t find in your country??. What about Manga and anime that only you can find it, if you live in JAPAN. Or what happen if you dont want the CENSORED and poor dubbed version that you can buy in the USA.???????????? The companies are guilty because they are not interested to sell their products to other countries, they don´t want to sell their product in countries like south america. So what is the problem? You can´t find Asian Porn or MANGA in USA because their CENSOR LAWS, because the movies are to PERVERT to the american standard. so whay to sign an ACT?

Or maybe after signing this ACT all the Stuff that you can only find in sites like AKIBA, are going to be available at legal ONLINE STORES?'??????? fo course not!!!!!!!!!!

Well, keep in mind, ACTA is a treaty, treaties must be ratified by the Senate and can not conflict with the US constitution. So how far will this get, probably not far.
But the fact that they keep trying these things, is what should be pissing everyone off. This is what scars me about when I here that Obama is trying to make amendments to the constitution. When they start to change that, look out people.

Unless congress enacts legislation to make this treaty apply then ACTA is useless in the US.
I do not know if anyone remembers that illegal alien that was executed in Texas for raping and murdering a 16 year old. But he tried claiming his consular rights were violated,Yes the US signed a treaty but congress did not enact any legislation so he had no consular rights.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leal_Garcia_v._Texas
The Court did not stay the execution because Congress must enact legislation in order for international law to apply.

Evidently the Obama administration is framing ACTA as an "executive agreement".

They are trying yet another end-around that pesky U.S. constitution.

It's an election year, and the Dems live off of Hollywood campaign cash.

Hollywood is now demanding piracy be shut down in a big way, or no more mother's milk for Dem candidates.

I also find it very significant that the signing ceremony took place in Tokyo.

It's not getting much publicity... but Japanese interests are surely driving ACTA hard.
