ACTA - Beginning of the End

[oddzag]

Anonymous tweeted

ALERT: #ACTA Will Be Signed by the European Union and Member State Territories tomorrow - EXPECT US!

I'm so fucking pumped for their retaliation, and scared shitless about ACTA. I want to learn more though. Anyone know anything about what's going down tomorrow? I can't find anything about the US signing it tomorrow.

The ACTA is an international bill. Of course the US isn't going to sign it. :P

I hope Australia doesn't either. I want to enjoy my free shit

I meant to quote this:

ALERT: #ACTA Will Be Signed by UE & US tomorrow - EXPECT US!

They said the US are going to sign in..

What about South East Asia? I'm planning to move to the Philippines (not because of ACTA lol)

I think the US has either signed, or agreed to sign. If I'm not mistaken they did it before the EU people?

I hope Australia doesn't either. I want to enjoy my free shit

I thought you were Russian?

Anyway, even if ACTA manages to pass, the protest won't stop, in fact it'll get even worse.

Tonight thousands of people are protesting (in basically every Polish city) against signing of the ACTA treaty by polish government. Prime Minister - Donald Tusk - does not seem to care much, and says he will sign the bill anyway. There are really few voices of support for ACTA in Poland, if any. Polish news agencies are avoiding the subject or reporting far fewer number of protesters.
Below you have a list of protests taking place today (I am still updating it, as people are reporting about their cities).

That's crazy, and like I said it might be worse if they actually sign it
