I figured this information belongs here because it might affect fellow SWM players in one way or another, so...
I received an interesting email two days back:
Quote:
I have started a petition against the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement, an international treaty which, if passed, will curtail the ability of everyone to share and enjoy Internet content, including fanfic, fanart, YouTube, fan sites, etc. Please sign my petition at:
http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/stopacta/Also, please pass this message along to as many people as possible. If we work together, maybe we can stop this thing.
Save the Internet!:

I'm wondering if they really are serious about this?
If yes, other sites like Bloomilk, Gamers, and many more look like they'll be shut down soon.
Just thought I'd bring this thing to the attention of others :/
