That might help, however, for some reason I don't understand, this proposal hasn't created an outrage similar to the one we had seen before ACTA.
EU "wisely" has chosen voting time to be in the middle of FIFA Soccer World Cup, so many people are just sitting watching matches. This is also almost the beginning of the holiday season and many people are just relaxing, travelling, etc.
Apparently someone really needs that regulation to go through (hopefully it will not).
- TeMPOraL 8y agoSOPA / ACTA happened in parallel with FBI shutting down Megavideo - a place where a lot of "illicit" streaming services offloaded the content to. Basically, a lot of people lost the free TV they were used to. The events were unrelated, but I remember them being widely seen by regular people as the shape of things to come. Take away people's TV for some bullshit reason again, and they'll go to the streets.
