Well ACTA is a treaty, right? Then SOPA/PIPA was mearly an attempt to enforce it, which failed and we can give resistance to any other attempt anywhere else

Until something fundamental changes, this means making a massive push every few months for the foreseeable future to remind everyone in our government that we'll make hell if they actually do something like this.  We fail once, and it's time to make good on that threat.  If we fail to make good on the threat, then we've simply lost.

Personally, I don't think there's enough attention span in the public to fend this off forever.  The law will come down on the internet eventually, and our reaction at that point will be what determines the final outcome.

Oh ye, of little faith. Politicians are people too (though you personally seem to think them of some kind of black monolithic entity), therefore they will take the path of least resistance. They not going to risk getting kicked out of their money train by being hated.

Sorry, I was busy giving sacrifices to Khorne. Don't do what now?

Frickle frack. I hope I roll good this time.

1: Money money money. Money~
2: Get my hands on some reuseable turbo boosters.
3: Reroll that dodge roll.

Personally, I believe that the best possible option, albeit one which long ago ceased to be feasible due to the high human population, would to do away with both law, AND society, and come together only to mate.

So basicly, "Every man is an island"?
