Stop ACTA Australia

The Issue

ACTA stands for Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement. Seems harmless enough, right? Wrong.

ACTA will create many problems, and not just for the internet. ISPs (the people you get your internet from) will have to monitor everything to put on the internet, and everything you view. Put a video on YouTube of a party you went to with music in the background? You're breaking ACTA. Quote a news report in an email? Yu're breaking ACTA. Post a cover of a song on Facebook? You're breaking ACTA. Do this enough times and your internet will be cut off - you could even be sent to jail or face fines.
