here is the source: http://tech.fortune.cnn.com/2012/01/26/meet-sopas-evil-twin-acta/

I was wondering what ACTA was, and Heard it was even worse than SOPA. so I checked in on the hazards, and Found this and My answer. If you have Copyrighted anything, anywhere, you can get sent to jail. which Really sucks. So let us share our last words.

There it is.
Oh, I'd like to quote something from the article.

Dat Article said:
In 2010, 75 law professors signed a letter to President Obama urging him not to sign the pact. They went unheeded. Obama signed the pact -- which was originally developed by the United States and Japan -- last year. Other current signatories include Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Morocco, Singapore, and South Korea.

Serebii is a British-run site. Which means that it currently wouldn't be affected, unless it becomes a law in the United Kingdom. Which means the whole point of this thread is pretty much moot.

Actually the Point of this thread was to let people Know Obama Signed ACTA, the whole Serebii thing was a Hook to get people to read.

I thought it was clever, up until you pointed that out.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it possible it could still go to the Senate before it is ratified?

I have a small Australian site dedicated to bringing back Bionicle, that they will try and close. If ACTA has indeed passed, I will fight until ACTA is stopped or Bionicle comes back, whatever comes first. NO-ONE is allowed to get between me and my goal!

Even if the European Union signs it, it would still mean that all countries in the EU have to sign it. Which due to the current nature of the government in my country, I am certain it won't pass.

Obviously ACTA either hasn't passed or has already been passed. Besides, ACTA would most likely need to go to Congress before it passes.

And I just realized that if it goes to Congress it will go in front of the idiots that declared Pizza a vegetable.
