Doodling can now land you in prison

Thinking about drawing something creative? Forget about it or else you will get a "Go Directly to Jail" card.

Three days after Sandy Hook shooting, a 16-year old New Jersey Student was arrested for doodling. The doodle was glove holding a ball of fire like in Super Mario Bros what the faculty thinks it's a bomb, as if the student was planning to blow up the school.

Welcome to the police state.

You think TPP is worse check out what going on with the US-EU new Trade Deal

With ACTA still ratified by Japan, Australia up next to ratify it, and TPP is under negotiations until October 2013, a new trade deal that is going is expected next month that will include provisions from the TPP bring copyright maximum.

This trade agreement is called the Trans-Atlantic Free Trade Agreement.(TAFTA) to promote copyright maximalism to send consumers to prison. One single drawing from a child would hurt an entire family under TAFTA, for example a boy draws SpongeBob SquarePants his favorite cartoon character, but Viacom owns and trademarked that character, the entire family will be financially destroyed, and it can be proven with wireless surveillance cameras and microphones in homes transmitted to big media corporations, publishers, and other copyright holders. They could hear and see you singing a copyrighted lyric in the shower.

This trade agreement could hurt and shut down American based cheese companies like Kraft since European countries have a trademark on their cheese like Parmesan and Cheddar.

As for patents,  it will give patent trolls more rights to sue consumers and small businesses.

Dangers of Abolishing the filibuster

The US Senate is voting on changing or abolishing the filibuster.The dangers are if they vote for to change or abolish the filibuster, it will suppress not only the senate minority but the American public as well. For example, The Senate attempts to revive and pass PIPA and Commercial Felony Streaming Act (CFSA) or pass any other bills secretly without making a bill available to the public or without the Senate Minority complaining. If the GOP took control of the Senate, the Dems can't do anything because the filibuster they abolished was a mistake they made. They can't do anything except the President to stop a bill that would cut medical entitlements or try to get the Senate majority to pass a tax cut for the middle class.

In order to repeal the filibuster, 60 votes are to pass and there's no other way the Dems could convice the GOP to repeal it., If the Dems get their way, we're going to see civil unrest.

DO NOT REPEAL THE FILIBUSTER.

The filibusters can be bad for the Senate but good for the American public.

Austrailia becomes the 2nd country to ratify ACTA

The Senate is set to ratify after they complete analysis of ACTA by the end of this month.

Australia has become the second country to ratify the agreement and only 4 more ratification until our human rights are taken away.

Say goodbye to DeviantArt.

But we need to read Article 24

ARTICLE 24: PENALTIES
For offenses specified in paragraphs 1, 2, and 4 of Article 23 (Criminal
Offenses), each Party shall provide penalties that include imprisonment as well as
monetary fines12 sufficiently high to provide a deterrent to future acts of infringement,
consistently with the level of penalties applied for crimes of a corresponding gravity.

Future Acts of Infringement. Ever watched Minority Report? This could allow authorities to imprison everyone even if they're not doing anything that doesn't infringe anyone's intellectual property

Like predicting a crime to be committed.  ACTA could predict that you would plan to draw a fan art of someone's intellectual property in lets say 36 hours.

Third, Since the Czech Republic is non-EU, it may intend to ratify ACTA despite its' parliament's rejections on the treaty.
