Yeah, but have you thought of the fact that a lot of people here use videos from YouTube in OEs?We also use news/articles which could be classified as copyrighted material. And how about the lyrics of popular songs we use in the ws? Sophia

Absolutely, Sophia. It goes WAY beyond just the odd website. See here for more information. |

They put it as if they are after copyright infringers, but it will affect other privacy issues and eventually creative commons as well as soon as the act is passed and in action. They will have then legal grounds to track anything they want and fine whoever. Sophia |

I see that Australia was one of the first countries to use ACTA - that explains why our workplaces makes us sign all sorts of documents about not breaching copyright. It �s a minefield. |

That is exactly why nonsense such as ACTA, SOPA and PIPA should be stopped - or at least thought about more before enforcing indiscriminately. |
