Block ACTA and Stop ACTA! Truly, our freedoms are at stake. While notionally an idea to prevent copyright theft, it’s real purpose opens the floodgates for any undemocratic organisation to walk over our freedoms (such as they are) for which our forefathers slugged their guts out. Read this, then either; walk away (wondering in a [...]
