The Dangers of ACTA

Date: 05-09-10

Host: Ian Punnett

Guests: Lauren Weinstein

Ian Punnett welcomed privacy and technology expert Lauren Weinstein, during the first two and a half hours of the program, for a discussion on the controversial Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Act (ACTA), which may pose a serious threat to civil liberties. He explained that ACTA originated as a plan to develop a unified method of dealing with counterfeiting amongst numerous countries. However, over time, the emphasis of the act began to focus more on intellectual property issues, notably Internet piracy, rather than physical counterfeiting.

Detailing some of the troubling aspects of ACTA, Weinstein noted that the plan, itself, has remained shrouded in secrecy as it has been evolved over the last three years. The secret nature of the act's development, he claimed, allowed for it to become a "potpourri wish list for intellectual property owners" at the expense of individual citizen's rights. Additionally, since it is an international agreement, it could be adopted by the United States via an executive order rather than ratification through Congress. In turn, this would create a legal quagmire in America as the plan "specifies what governments are required to do in their national laws" and contains aspects which could violate the Constitution, such as warrantless searches.

Weinstein pointed out that another danger of ACTA is its potential effect on search engines and Internet service providers. Based on his research, he surmised that the goal of the plan is to put an overwhelming amount of liability on the "Internet intermediaries," who will be responsible for the actions of their users. In turn, they would be required to police their users' actions as well as provide that information if a user is declared to be in violation of ACTA standards. This forced responsibility would have a "suffocating impact" on the Internet, Weinstein observed. Ultimately, he said, it is important to weigh the true cost of fighting Internet piracy, declaring, "you really don't want to create a police state to protect Iron Man 2."

The remaining 90 minutes of the program featured Open Lines.

A totally rainy misty day on the tame prairie... silvery beautiful... though, now the thunder is growling again... and! The Kougaress witnessed some strange lightning earlier in the evening... yep, she was checking out her window for lightning... the night sky was overcast and it was spitting raindrops... there were some flashes of wall lightning... then a glow of lightning penetrated the cloud cover and streaming-flashed down to the ground... no, not a bolt of lightning striking the ground... but a beam glow of lightning... ever seen anything like that before?

Kytaira ~ Death is My Business

Once I enter the dungeon-like tunnel, the odor of frightened human children overwhelms my nose. I pause to steady myself, to halt my too-quick breaths. I must focus.

Happy Courtship on another Earth

X-Serial Flash in Two Hundred ~ Sylva and Zeke’s story continues...

Part 498 ~

Sylva ogled. It felt damn good to ogle the man who had proclaimed himself her husband. Well, she was past arguing that point. Especially given the tall-standing point of his cock. And, given how amazingly good he’d treated her, so far. “Damn. I wish I wasn’t so darn tired.” Sylva spoke as Zeke pulled off his boots. “Your stud equipment looks like a mighty fine ride, cowboy mine.” The whiskey-colored eyes of her husband darkened and he took his time running his gaze over her body. Stepping out of his pants, he carelessly tossed them on top of their clothes.

Zeke ignited inside at the idea his wife possessed more of a passionate nature than he realized. Course, they were just barely gettin’ to know each other. “Why don’t we do some relaxin’?” Bending down, he flattened his hand on the floor. In a way that didn’t disturb the water much, he hopped into the tub. “My stud equipment can learn some manners. Besides,” he grinned, “I want to play footsies first with my bride.” Moving opposite his Sylva, Zeke slid down into the whirly water. “Footsies,” she repeated, a provocative glint in her sky bright eyes. “Sexy butt, cowboy.”

Weekly Angelic Forecast from Volcano

Straight from the Carnal Cherub himself...

Angelic Forecast ~ #88

During the following week more turmoil hits the world stage. Big time. It will be like firecrackers exploding in various locations on the Fourth of July. Take cover where necessary, and hunker down. Pretend, the worst kind of pirates have landed and are now looting and pillaging your village. To put it metaphorically, this is what is occurring on world-wide scale.

On a personal level this week brings the opportunity to improve your home and your home life. Look for ways to set up and organize your home in a way that makes you happier and more productive. Also, pay attention to what will improve your relationship with those who live with you. If you’re in a situation where a relationship has deteriorated, it may be time to let go. It may be time for you move on, or encourage the other person to move on.

Angelic blessings from Volcano & Sedona

ACTA sounds scary.

“Your stud equipment looks like a mighty fine ride, cowboy mine.” ~~love that line.

Serena Shay said...

Woo Hoo! Your cover has been approved. I can't wait to see it! Congrats.

Savanna Kougar said...

Hi Nara, yeah, ACTA is not good and they're continuing to change it and make deals in secret. Never a good thing. Transparency no longer exists.

Thanks... grins! Sylva and Zeke keep getting to know each other new ways.

Savanna Kougar said...

Serena, yeah, I think it's a gorgeous cover. I'm a little concerned the title doesn't show as much as it should... but it is golden-hued atmospheric.
