The ISPs are not complicit in this scenario. If anything, ISPs are even more anti-ACTA, because the law would put very unpleasant duties on them.

The problem is not the ISPs, it is the corporatist government that is trying to coerce the ISPs against their will. It's the opposite of what you describe. |

ACTA is the one that removes rights, such as a warrant needed for personal information. |

I think you have them confused. COICA is the American bill that would give the US government the ability to remove or block wesbites. ACTA is the international treaty that is secretive(Governments say it threatens national security), but parts have been leaked(By the Canadian delegates I believe). This treaty would strip the rights of people online. Take ISPs. For now, if a company or government wants your information from an ISP, they have to get a warrant. ACTA would remove this. Companies and governments could get info at will. Another big part is it would allow ISPs free reign over how they handle their customers. Directly relating to anime, say your IP address is found to be seeding or leeching an anime torrent. The Japanese production company could ask your ISP or even pay them to turn your info over. It is like this now, but more stops to keep your info from being released. All the nations signing ACTA are capitalistic nations(Most of them more Socialistic leaning), but are still controlled by governments who are in the lobbyist pockets. |

Internet Blacklist
Hi there all. I'm sorry that I wasn't active for about a year or so, but this isn't the time. We've got a major issue concerning the Internet, please, this is serious!
COICA In the United States, a new law proposal called The Combating Online Infringement and Counterfeits Act (COICA) was introduced last week, and there will be a hearing in front of the Judiciary Committee this Thursday. If passed, this law will allow the government, under the command of the media companies, to censor the internet as they see fit, like China and Iran do, with the difference that the sites they decide to censor will be completely removed from the internet and not just in the US. Please see the following article from the Huffington Post for more information. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/david-..._b_739836.html And if you are a U.S. citizen, please take the time to sign this petition Demand Progress - Petition to Stop the Internet Blacklist!

I'm a little worried about US starting to take political interest in domain names, since almost all o the DNS-servers are in US. When Sweden started to monitor all traffic that goes through their borders, most of the finnish traffic was redirected to elsewhere. The same will happen here and it just might fragment the net. Nothing devastating, I'm sure, but still a lot of unnecessary hassle. All because of one fucked up country. |

I must confess that since I discovered fansubs I have been buying more things. Before my discovery of fansubs I simply felt that anime was too expensive and out of my reach. I also didn't really have stores and vendors in my area at the time. Over time and since anime has been easier to access for me- I go that extra step to get a figure, an artbook, a soundtrack, or a manga. Before I would never consider purchasing or caring enough to get things. I have imported quite a lot of things, bought from foreign companies, and had friends bring things back from japan enough to make one shutter.
I am just sad that American political powers will throw away their ideals on liberty and privacy for the sake of self-righteous drivel. I am already contemplating what I might do to obtain my anime. |

Sad thing is George Orwell's 1984 is in some extent already in exsitence with the silencing of people who are in opposition with the government, I mean Valerie Plame? Our national security was less important then enforcing the "party" lines and what I mean by party lines, is more the Military Industrial Complex that is fueled by perpetual war.

TOKYO (Reuters) - Nearly 40 nations reached agreement in principle on Saturday on an international trade pact aimed at reducing copyright and trademark theft that causes losses of billions of dollars annually. http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE6910AO20101002 |

The wild west that is the internet is now done, over, regulated. new technologies make so easy to crack down and pick apart piraters once the legal system catches up, the will to enforce anti piracy and crackdown on illegal pornography (with Japan leading the way as the kiddie porn superpower) is here to stay. |

Still they won't do anything at all, If this passes not only it will hurt the stock and shareholders but possibly going through another recession. But that's my take. Those corporations have no excuses but to make things worse. They need to adapt or fall!
