What was effective 6 years ago? The TPP?

The EU is trying to sneak ACTA into another piece of legislation.

Not only is the zombie of ACTA trying to rise from it's grave, now it seems the political bum-chum of Hollywood, the US
congressman Lamar Smith, is also poking the corpse of the hated SOPA, that was rightfully killed off earlier this year.
Yet again, an out-of-touch meddling politician tries to harm the internet to appease Hollywood's corporate coke-heads!

Neowin.net - SOPA rises from the grave once more.

Politicians on both sides of the Atlantic that back these bills are not out of touch. They are in the back pockets of the companies wanting the legislation and are only interested in how it increases their own bank balance......

Yes, they are in the back pockets of the corporates, but many of these politicos are very out of touch when it comes
to technology, and the way the internet works. If they weren't so out of touch, they'd understand that most of these
half baked censorship methods are totally futile ... easily bypassed by anyone with a tiny bit of tech knowledge.

Look at the ruling against TPB ... major ISP's are forced to block it, but most of us can still easily access it.

Not another internet bill When will it ever end? I think internet users should not give up the fight just yet. I hope websites black out over IPAA.

They don't care if the measures can be circumnavigated, they get their brown envelopes for getting the legislation through....
