@Hixbrianrkule Not the internet. Big companies products, let them choke on this bill!!

[dawidkiller]

Lol you guys are already living in a police state. (certain states or whole country, it is federal law that let's them invigilate you at will, right?)

[KmanHK]

Do yourself a favor, Do everybody who has ever used the internet a favor and FIGHT THIS GARBAGE. EVERYONE is in favor of RUINING this treaty except the GREEDY MEDIA INDUSTRY. Hell, while we're at it, why not BOYCOTT these DAMN COMPANIES as well. Do everyone a favor. Get out there and do what you can to fight this crap.

[KmanHK]

...And even arrange these bits of songs and videos to form things that might actually be funny? No. Not anymore. Under ACTA, no more laughs for us on the internet. And any of us who dare to do so will go to JAIL.

And life and the pursuit of happiness? There are GOOD people that make their livings off of Youtube and other blogs. Ray William Johnson? Freddie Wong? Ian Hecox and Anthony Padilla? All, wiped off of the face of the earth.

What the hell? WHAT THE HELL? This mangled pile of steaming garbage is infringing our PRIVACY! As people, we are entitled to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness!

Liberty? Invading our homes to SEARCH us for things we aren't even GUILTY OF? I'm pretty DAMN sure that there's something against that in the United states Constitution! This isn't freedom! A real government would give its people FREEDOM to publicly share bits and pieces of things for the public to view?

we need to do something! :(

[Bakugantsuvai1]

Everyone believe that ACTA will not pass and be killed for good.

2 things:

1: Get the camera out of your face, i had to minimize the screen to listen to your vlog (no tits)

2: *oblivion/sky sound effect* Your awareness with the masses has increased by 1 :)
