They need all the help they can get. The more this news is spread about, the better. It's all in the numbers.
I signed a petition a few weeks ago. It was for Europe, I live in America though so we're fucked already T_T.

Honestly they'd do a lot more harm than good. They'd probably hack stuff and that'd just fuel the government fire to censor and iron grip everything.

There is a protest happening in Regina? I mean great and all for them, but Regina? Really? Huh. In other news Canada also has Bill C-11 that the entertainment industry is pushing to be more SOPA like in wording and content. It's already a shit bill, they are trying to make it shittier. :|
Man, looking at that map of planned petition meet-ups across Europe ....
... Shit, THAT is how you organize a protest! Impressive!

That map is just sad. 200 cities protesting and only 5 of them are in North America. Sure, we already signed it, but that doesn't mean it's over.
This shit just sickens me.
@TheNephilym I agree, there needs to be a lot more awareness about this in the U.S.

Yeah, kinda seems like we wanted everyone to join up and kill SOPA / PIPA, but as soon as it was over, and it started to happen 'across the pond' most us seem to not even care what happens over there. I can't say that it's true, though. I did sign the petition (email).
* It looks as if, for the most part, no one even cares about what happens over there.
I wish there was an edit button...

I know its a dumb question to ask. Have you been on 4chan lately?
They are promoting anti-ACTA activities not limited to protests and raids.
Being as how anonymous really just represents the hivemind of non-identified users on the internet, hence anonymous, I think they are already doing their part.

It's taken on more meanings, really. Generally of people who aren't happy with assorted governments/institutions activities. Not quite as anarchy-imbued as it used to be, but it still holds a strong meaning.

Ironic since ACTA is a global bill of which USA signed up to years ago and has all the same clauses and more than the smokescreen of which SOPA / PIPA were.
Anyway this is all futile guys. The thing has been pretty much agreed illicitly and will go ahead in June of this year. Get ready to be border checked for illegal downloads!

@ Excel-2011;
Do you mean, 'blew my activist load' as in, 'I can't be bothered to click a link, and input my email address and country'?
What happened to you? Are you in hospital recovering from narcolepsy?

@Batthink:
I mean that I spent all my energy last month actively protesting SOPA and PROTECT IP and I just don't have it in me to do it again so soon. They got us good with those last bills.

I'm American, and I care about these bills. I'm just a little sad that nothing like that's happening in North America.

Not to mention all the alarmist e-mails I've been getting for months hammering into my mind just how bad these are, as if I needed to be reminded every other day. I've heard so much that I'm sick of it and I need to get away from it all for a month or three before I can start feeling passionate about it again.
Poland has NOT pulled support from ACTA. The protests merely delayed the ratification for about a year. We're still far from actually refusing to sign it, unless something happened of which I am not aware.
Acta is the treaty that spawns Rules like the SOPA, the ACTA itself doesn't do anything, it only requires countries to make other rules that do like in the us The SOPA.
If people didnt steal others IP there'd be no need for this. hoever there has to be a way to crack down on IP theft or we won't be getting new games to complain about sucking. Mostly its people who steal or use priated stuf that moan the loudest if you have nothing to hide then this won't affect you. Internet5 users have rights but so do the producers of IP
@ Excel - Holy Lethargy Batman! If ANYTHING about using the internet makes you tired, you are in sad shape my friend, mental or otherwise.
PETITION. POST. SHARE. TALK. JUST USE THE FUCKING INTERNET TO IT'S PURPOSE.

You too? I'm happy I'm not the only one. I've actually had to reply to a few because they keep claiming victory over SOPA, when the reality of it is that SOPA can, and most likely will, return, with language so confusing we won't even know what we're fighting any more.
@Jay Me
I'm an American and I care about this stuff greatly, no matter where its brought up. I've ever urged anyone who had info on these things in the comments of other articles here to push for an article that tells those of us not effected by things like this how we can help them fight it effectively (I assume this is different on a case by case basis).
Just because it isn't on our door step (but being the world, it is) doesn't mean we should sit back and do nothing World being what it is right now, all it takes is one domino to fall before the entire table starts shaking, or following suit.
