That's exactly the point I try to undrestand... If you did something wrong in US it's okay, but if you live out of US and didn't something in the country how they can extrade you in their country and judge you here ?!...

I live in Canada, and all this is affecting me also. I should sign the petition this evening because I have to go for now...

Well ACTA is said to be something similar to SOPA... Though not only for USA, but also EU and some Asian countries.

Truthfully I have no idea what they are thinking cause I am not them and I did not come up with all of this. From what I hear and read is all complicated.. So I can not tell you what is really going on, but here is some info that may help understand it a little better.

https://wwws.whitehouse.gov/petitions#! ... e-internet


"They claim it protects the intellectual property market and corresponding industry, jobs and revenue, and is necessary to bolster enforcement of copyright laws, especially against foreign websites"

""We support the bills’ stated goals – providing additional enforcement tools to combat foreign ‘rogue’ Web sites that are dedicated to copyright infringement or counterfeiting. "

"SOPA targets only foreign Web sites that are primarily dedicated to illegal and infringing activity."

It's all stated in the website you send me. It's literally put there it is on purpose against foreign websites.

Thanks, I had not had time to fully read this.

I think that you are taking this kind of the wrong way.. Yes it has to do with other countries. If I may quote here...
It says the whole point on this is to stop illegal/infringing/counterfeiting activity coming from other countries. But if the bill is passed it would block other things like this website, youtube, and among others.. (That is counting not just websites outside of ours like other countries, but ours as well.) So that is the bad thing of why this bill should not be passed.

All I know is that no matter where/who you are or what country you are from.. You still get judge no matter what.

Anyways. ^^ I am done talking about this. I hope everyone had a good week. *walks out of thread*

ACTA doesn't just effect Europe, it effects every country in the world.
