The governments of the United States, Canada, European Union, Japan and other countries are negotiating an anti-piracy agreement that could have a massive impact on digital media consumers.
And they're doing it in secret.
At issue is the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA). As Ars Technica reports, public interest advocacy groups Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) and Public Knowledge have filed suit in federal court against the U.S. Trade Representative, a part of the executive branch. The suit is essentially a demand for information about ACTA and is based upon the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).
Art Brodsky of Public Knowledge told Ars:
We believe they should conduct these negotiations with some transparency for what goes on, particularly when the talks are transparent to one side and not to the other (us). At a minimum, we should know how the US delegation is formulating its positions and have access to what they are doing.
Meanwhile, p2pnet reports criticism of ACTA by Canadian Internet Policy and Public Interest Clinic (CIPPIC) counsel David Fewer:
If Hollywood could order intellectual property laws for Christmas, what would they look like? This is pretty close.
Hal Halpin, president of the Entertainment Consumers Association (ECA) has also expressed concern about ACTA:
Because ECA supports the balance that must exist between the rights of copyright owners and the right of copyrighted material consumers, we do not think it wise to include any portions of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) in the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) currently being discussed by the US Trade Representative (USTR) and the Department of Commerce.
We are concerned that any DMCA language in ACTA may cause enormous, unforeseen negative implications in US law. That is why ECA, together with the Consumer Electronics Association, the US Internet Industry Association, Intel, Yahoo, Verizon and others, sent a memo asking the USTR to carefully consider that any discussions of “Internet issues” in ACTA be carefully circumscribed, consistent with U.S. law, and not include any portions of the DMCA.
FULL DISCLOSURE DEPT: The ECA is the parent company of GamePolitics.

Re: Digital Rights Groups Go to Court Over Secret Anti-Piracy
Well whatever they pass, if/when they pass it will be available to the public so we know exactly how they are screwing us over.
Re: Digital Rights Groups Go to Court Over Secret Anti-Piracy
And just like Spore, people will have a workaround making it useful and as it should be four days or more before it actually comes to pass, and end up just screwing everybody that is really putting money into these industries. Way to go! Why don't we go ahead and let the criminals all go and just start arresting all of the normal people "to keep them from doing anything wrong".

Re: Digital Rights Groups Go to Court Over Secret Anti-Piracy
Kinda sad, isn't it? EA probably put all sorts of time and money into getting anti-piracy measures in place, and the game was cracked before the North America release. So now the pirates get to play the copy without any potentially harmful "copy protection" while the legitimate buyers like myself gets the shaft.
Re: Digital Rights Groups Go to Court Over Secret Anti-Piracy
The sadder part is, that EA keeps using that POS DRM, even though time and time again its been proven that it doesn't work. Ugh, I wonder if anyone in the EA offices suggest not to use it, if so, they probably get fired.
Re: Digital Rights Groups Go to Court Over Secret Anti-Piracy
You would think they'd learn and give up. They obviously have to pay for the DRM, and it hasn't worked yet. They could either save some money and just forget the DRM or put that money into game development and improve the games. What I really love is how they refuse to admit it's worthless. When the copy protection has already been broken, the company should just remove it so the legitimate consumers don't have to suffer. It's not like removing the DRM will make pirating any easier after the game's been cracked, and in the case of Spore it may actually increase sales since many people say they're pirating it because of the SecuROM.
Re: Digital Rights Groups Go to Court Over Secret Anti-Piracy
Ah yes lets destroy the gray areas in copy right and make infringement a criminal offense instead of a civil one >>

Re: Digital Rights Groups Go to Court Over Secret Anti-Piracy
Yeah, we already have the music industry stating that just making a copy of a cd for yourself, or ripping it to your computer for an MP3 player makes us a criminal in their eyes. The movie industry fights us on making a copy of a movie that we bought so we can watch it on our ipods, or in my case my cell phone. All of the different forms of media are getting to a point where everyone in their eyes are criminals, and they think themselves justified to lock it down so nobody can do anything with what they make..but they still get paid over and over again for it. How long if things like this pass before we "buy" our cars, but will have to pay by the mile anyways, or by the trip. How long before I have to pay "rent" on my house, even though I bought it? I bought music...I should be able to listen to it in my house with the original, put a few copies in my car so if they get messed up by the heat they won't be lost, and put it on my ipod so I can listen at work without having to pay for the same overpriced item 3 freaking times just to make them happy and, in my own opinion, admit to them that "I'm a criminal and deserve punishment". Thanks for the rant.

Re: Digital Rights Groups Go to Court Over Secret Anti-Piracy
It's ridiculous, isn't it? I can understand that they don't want people stealing music, but if you've bought the CD, you should be able to do whatever you want with it aside from sharing it with the world. They wouldn't object if you bought the CD and used it as a frisbee or smashed it to bits, but if you make a digital copy for your MP3 player, you're a criminal because they couldn't force you to buy a digital copy on top of the physical one.
Re: Digital Rights Groups Go to Court Over Secret Anti-Piracy
Yeah, I really love the one where I'm not allowed, by law, to show a movie I buy to people OTHER than myself and my family..because then it is viewed as a public viewing and have to pay different rights for that. Thankfully they don't try and enforce that (how..maybe a camera in the TV or whatever that has to ID EVERYONE that is there before and while it's playing), but who knows....maybe it's in this mystery as well.
What's really sad is that I just pulled that idea out of my ass as a joke..but could actually see it as something they would try.

Re: Digital Rights Groups Go to Court Over Secret Anti-Piracy
Pretty much. At the last Superbowl, the NFL was suing churches who wanted to have Superbowl Parties because the churches were using too big of tvs. You have to have a special license to show the Superbowl on certian size tvs with certain size crowds.
MLB just doesn't want anyone watching their games unless they are at the stadium or in a closet by themselves on a baterie operated tv. Or something like that anyway.

Re: Digital Rights Groups Go to Court Over Secret Anti-Piracy
Jack might just be a little frustrated because he hasn't had a story about him in a while.
Getting back to topic, anything that the government is doing in secret, especially with other countries, can't be good. I hope this lawsuit works out, but I won't be holding my breath...
Re: Digital Rights Groups Go to Court Over Secret Anti-Piracy

Re: Digital Rights Groups Go to Court Over Secret Anti-Piracy
I kinda think this whole ordeal with the DRM and pircay and what not is getting blown out of proportion. Also, Jack or troll, or whatever you are, shut up. You already failed your point and not to mention, i already one upped you in my email two weeks ago. Remeber? fleming_ze@wvwc.edu? You responded by threating me.
but anyways back to the topic at hand.
How bad could this get?
Re: Digital Rights Groups Go to Court Over Secret Anti-Piracy
Wouldn't mind sending him a letter myself. Nothing threatening, just wanting to argue his "points" and add my name to the list of people pointing out the holes in his arguments. As a person living in the same state (though thankfully almost as far as possible from him here) I'm getting tired of his rants and random suing of people for his gain or to just try and silence anyone that is in argument with him and his methods. Can you send me his email address to mine if possible? I'm at Zen@Zenspath.com. Thanks.

Re: Digital Rights Groups Go to Court Over Secret Anti-Piracy
Not me. I'm hoping all his nonsense is gathered together and used to file a massive conspiracy to commit criminal fraud charge against him. After all, part of the definition of Fraud is to use lies and deceit to deprive individuals of a Right (no specific Right defined). I'd love to see him convicted and face hundreds of years in prison, solitary confinement especially, for the overwhelming mountains of evidence and acts that he's built up over the decades.

Re: Digital Rights Groups Go to Court Over Secret Anti-Piracy
Jack Thompson guilty of fraud? Lying to try to get legislation passed doesn't constitute as fraud.
Oh and why do you want to see him jailed? So he insults us and makes crazy comments, big whoop.
Re: Digital Rights Groups Go to Court Over Secret Anti-Piracy
Lying to government officials to get the legislation passed, legislation which CAN be used to deprive individuals of their Rights, IS fraud under the aforementioned definition.
A single instance may not be treated so strictly, but repeated lies and deceit should be more than enough evidence.
An individual who falsely claims to a government entity that a video game contains "gay sex" (and whether one sees "gay sex" as bad or not is irrelevant) when it doesn't actually contain such material, gay or otherwise, has lied to the government entity to manipulate the government.
An individual who repeatedly lies to and deceives government and citizens alike to increase the chance of the legislation he supports to be passed for the purpose of depriving individuals of a Right is further evidence.
An individual who has falsely identified himself to citizens, government officials, and media as a First Amendment Expert, let alone a School Shooting Expert in the attempt to deceive citizens and government officials to push through legislations that deny citizens their Rights is further evidence against him.
And, remember, we are talking multiple instances for each of those situations.
So, yes, prison time for conspiracy to commit mass fraud through lies and deceit to deprive individuals of a Right. Unlike him, I'm only suggesting he be held criminally responsible for his actions. Not legally executed for speaking his beliefs.

Re: Digital Rights Groups Go to Court Over Secret Anti-Piracy
I'm a massacre chaser? This site, GamePolitics.com, is a massacre facilitator. It underreports the nexus between violent games and school shootings because it's "bad business" for the video game companies that spawn these massacres. Hal Halpin has blood on his hands, and this site can't have that reported, now can it? Jack Thompson
U.S. Link to Finland School Shooting
By Mike Nizza
Tags: crime, education, violence
Vague connections between Finland’s school massacre and shootings in the United States were quickly made and discussed, but today brought a direct connection, courtesy of The Philadelphia Inquirer:
Mr. Farrell added another connection, saying that the two boys “may have also had a mutual obsession with Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold,” the Columbine shooters. The boy’s computer was now being scrubbed for further details.
Montgomery County District Attorney Bruce Castor, who is in charge of the Pennsylvania case, has uncovered “a cadre of people who idolize Klebold and Harris” during his investigation, and said that the shooter in Finland, Pekka-Eric Auvinen, might have been one of them.
Still, another tie between the two plots seemed sure to invite far more controversy: The Inquirer reported that the two teenagers were both fans of a classic video game called “Hitman.”
EZK: I just deleted 50 repeated posts from you and did not like it. Don't do it again.
Same shit, different day
My first day back from my exile by the combination of Hurricane Gustav and Comcast(I had to wait until today for Comcast to fix my cable/internet service, as my power came back), and I see that Jack Thompson is chasing hearses to the funeral home(as usual) and spreading his bullshit again(as usual).
Ironic that he'll be on Penn & Teller: Bullshit!.
Anyway, underreported? If it were true, that would be a good thing considering that school shootings are highly overreported and overanalyzed by talking heads, bubble-headed bleached blonde news reporters, and morons with nothing better to do with their time like yourself.
Practice what you preach, jabroni: Grow up and get a life.
(Starts playing Back in Black by AC/DC)
Jack is a liar
Jack,
This is why nobody believes you when you say your only agenda is to stop the sale of violent video games to minors. You go on and on full retard about school shootings before the bodies are even cold and any sort of details are in.
By the way...the shooter was 22. He's hardly a minor. The press is reporting he died today.
They should also report that Jack Thompson is still a retarded douchebag and an incompetent attorney.
Re: Digital Rights Groups Go to Court Over Secret Anti-Piracy
50 posts, Mr. Thompson? That isn't professional.
And you say WE'RE the obsessed ones... so GP isn't reporting it enough. So aren't a billion other blogs on the internet. That's not your problem.

Re: Digital Rights Groups Go to Court Over Secret Anti-Piracy
Hey massacre chaser, nothing to do with the Anti-Piracy topic.
Now look, he was obsessed with the Columbine Killers. Video games there? Noooooooooooooooooope. Hey idiot, go and shoo. Go to a place where you are liked...hmmmmmm ummmm yeah, you aren't very liked are you?
Re: Digital Rights Groups Go to Court Over Secret Anti-Piracy
Hey Jack, here's lesson in Journalism 101: the least relevant information goes at the end of the article. Where's the reference to Hitman? At the end! The writer doesn't think the information significant, so he puts it at the end. If there had been a little less space in the newspaper that paragraph probably wouldn't even be part of the story. The important factor in the shooting was the boys' obsessions with the Columbine shooters, not Hitman.
Also, you really shouldn't leave out the last line the article. You know, the one that says "Let the debate over video games and violence, which flared after the Virginia Tech massacre, begin anew." The writer doesn't even think that video games have a connection to the case; that's why he added the last line. By removing it, you obviously try to make it appear as if this article supports your views.
Finally, you're not going far enough back with your cause and effect. Before school shootings, we had workplace shootings and domestic violence shootings and who-knows-why shootings. Did you know that people have been shooting each other for hundreds of years? Video games have only been around for 25 years. And violent crime amongst minors (and in general) has gone down since video games became really popular. Don't believe me?
http://youthviolence.edschool.virginia.edu/violence-in-schools/national-...
Guess what? Those numbers come from places like the Department of Justice and the FBI. So are they wrong, too? Or are they part of the conspiracy with T2, the ESA, and the Roswell aliens to silence your crusade? Or maybe, just maybe, those numbers are actually 100% factual and your arguments have no grounds.

Natural Selector’s Manifesto
How Did Natural Selection Turn Into Idiocratic Selection?
Today the process of natural selection is totally misguided. It has reversed. Human race has been devolving very long time for now. Retarded and stupid , weak-minded people are reproducing more and faster than the intelligent, strong-minded people. Laws protect the retarded majority which selects the leaders of society. Modern human race has not only betrayed its ancestors, but the future generations too. Homo Sapiens, HAH! It is more like a Homo Idioticus to me! When I look at people I see every day in society, school and everywhere… I can’t say I belong to same race as the lousy, miserable, arrogant, selfish human race! No! I have evolved one step above!
Naturality has been discriminated through religions, ideologies, laws and other mass delusion systems. Individual, who is going through his/hers natural power process and trying to live naturally, but is being told that the way he acts or thinks is wrong and stupid, will usually have some reactions which might be considered as “psychological disorders” by the establishment. In reality they are just natural reactions to the disruption of natural power process. They will have some of the following (depending on individual’s personality): feelings of inferiority / superiority, hostility, aggression, frustration, depression, self-hatred / hatred towards other people, suicidal / homicidal thought etc… and it is completely normal.
Humans are just a species among other animals and world does not exist only for humans. Death and killing is not a tragedy, it happens in nature all the time between all species. Not all human lives are important or worth saving. Only superior (intelligent, self-aware, strong-minded) individuals should survive while inferior (stupid, retarded, weak-minded masses) should perish.
There is also another solution to the problem: stupid people as slaves and intelligent people as free. What I mean is that they who have free minds, are capable of intelligent existential and philosophical thinking and know what justice is, should be free and rulers… and the robotic masses, they can be slaves since they do not mind it now either and because their minds are on so retarded level. The gangsters that now rule societies, would of course get what they deserve.
Of course there is a final solution too: death of entire human race. It would solve every problem of humanity. The faster human race is wiped out from this planet, the better… no one should be left alive. I have no mercy for the scum of earth, the pathetic human race.
Collective Deindividualization: Totalitarianism & Delusions Of Democracy
Collective deindividualization is a phenomenon where individual will be trained as part of the mindless herd controlled by state, corporation, church or some other organization, group, ideology, religion or mass delusion system and adopt it’s rules, morality and codes of conduct. This phenomenon has been familiar in all despotic, authoritarian, totalitarian, monarchist, communist, socialist, nazi, fascist and religious societies troughout history. Also, the modern western democratic republics have the same phenomenon. It is just done so that people will think they are free and don’t realize they are being enslaved. Majority of people in society are weak-minded and ignorant retards, masses that act like programmed robots and accept voluntarily slavery. But not me! I am self-aware and realize what is going on in society! I have a free mind! And I choose to be free rather than live like a robot or slave. You can say I have a “god complex”, sure… then you have a “group complex”! Compared to you retarded masses, I am actually godlike.
Totalitarian governments rule people through education system, consumerism, mass media, monopoly on the legitimate use of physical force (police, military) and laws discriminating people who think differently than the majority. Democracy… you think democracy means freedom and justice? You are wrong. Democracy is a dictatorship of the moral majority… and the majority is manipulated and ruled by the state mafia. Modern western democracy has nothing to do with freedom or justice; it is totalitarian and corrupted system. Laws are made over the heads of the people and people are being brainwashed to support the system and connected to the institutional structures immediately after their birth. Societies are being ruled by manipulative and charismatic politicians who only care about the interests of majority, and who do not base their decisions on reason but emotions and feelings of the masses. These masses let the authorities of state to make all the important decisions for them. The masses will get an education, they study, get a job, go to work and vote in elections. They think they are free and don’t criticise or question the system. They have become robots. It is like a constructed mechanism in mind, that leaves little choice for an individual to think, talk and act independently.
Three Kinds Of Humans
There are three kinds of human personality types in this world:
1)individualistic human (3% of the world population)
2)manipulative human (3% of the world population)
3)mass human (94% of the world population)
#1 & #2 type of personalities are intelligent, creative and self-aware. They have chosen bit different paths paths. #3 type of personalities are less intelligent and less creative, weak-minded people controlled by #2 type of personalities. The percentages are only estimations though but are based on Gaussian distribution and history of human race and how humans have organized into societies. And this is the way it has always been ever since humans started to organize into communities.
Another way how to divide people is bit different but is based on the same facts, human nature and history. The division is based on the level of intelligence and quality of mentality:
1)intelligent (3% of the world population)
2)slightly retarded, so called “normal people” or “robots” (94% of the world population)
3)highly retarded, “vegetables” (3% of the world population)
Total War Against Humanity
Hate, Im so full of it and I love it. That is one thing I really love. Some time ago, I used to believe in humanity and I wanted to live a long and happy life… but then I woke up. I started to think deeper and realized things. But it was not easy to become existential… knowing as much as I know has made me unhappy, frustrated and angry. I just can’t be happy in the society or the reality I live. Due to long process of existential thinking, observing the society I live and some other things happened in my life… I have come to the point where I feel nothing but hate against humanity and human race.
Life is just a meaningless coincidence… result of long process of evolution and many several factors, causes and effects. However, life is also something that an individual wants and determines it to be. And I’m the dictator and god of my own life. And me, I have chosen my way. I am prepared to fight and die for my cause. I, as a natural selector, will eliminate all who I see unfit, disgraces of human race and failures of natural selection.
You might ask yourselves, why did I do this and what do I want. Well, most of you are too arrogant and closed-minded to understand… You will proprably say me that I am “insane”, “crazy”, “psychopath”, “criminal” or crap like that. No, the truth is that I am just an animl, a human, an individual, a dissident.
I have had enough. I don’t want to be part of this fucked up society. Like some other wise people have said in the past, human race is not worth fighting for or saving… only worth killing. But… When my enemies will run and hide in fear when mentioning my name… When the gangsters of the corrupted governments have been shot in the streets… When the rule of idioracy and the democratic system has been replaced with justice… When intelligent people are finally free and rule the society instead of the idiocratic rule of majority… In that great day of deliverance, you will know what I want.
Long live the revolution… revolution against the system, which enslaves not only the majority of weak-minded masses but also the small minority of strong-minded and intelligent individuals! If we want to live in a different world, we must act. We must rise against the enslaving, corrupted and totalitarian regimes and overthrow the tyrants, gangsters and the rule of idiocracy. I can’t alone change much but hopefully my actions will inspire all the intelligent people of the world and start some sort of revolution against the current systems. The system discriminating naturality and justice, is my enemy. The people living in the world of delusion and supporting this system are my enemies.
I am ready to die for a cause I know is right, just and true… even if I would lose or the battle would be only remembered as evil… I will rather fight and die than live a long and unhappy life.
And remember that this is my war, my ideas and my plans. Don’t blame anyone else for my actions than myself. Don’t blame my parents or my friends. I told nobody about my plans and I always kept them inside my mind only. Don’t blame the movies I see, the music I hear, the games I play or the books I read. No, they had nothing to do with this. This is my war: one man war against humanity, governments and weak-minded masses of the world! No mercy for the scum of the earth! HUMANITY IS OVERRATED! It’s time to put NATURAL SELECTION & SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST back on tracks!
Humanity is Overrated
Justice renders to everyone his due.

Wow. This school kid, in Finland, is better spoken than JT.
I lament that he did not bring these issues up with anyone willing to help him work through them. Self destructive behaviour like this isn't productive.
Dennis is right to leave this out of GP's rss feed. Nothing to do with games. It's too late to bring the blame on the philosphers I guess.
Re: Digital Rights Groups Go to Court Over Secret Anti-Piracy
Is that 3% thing from the perspective of any one person? I know with an IQ of 143 that I am in the top portion of the world population, but I wouldn't say top 3%, and I definitely am not a robot. I am a crazy guy that just likes to push buttons until companies like EA, GM, Toyota, Activision, or whoever is doing something stupid, reacts and says something stupid that makes them look extremely bad, then forward that to different resources for them to use against those people.

Since this is his manifesto, I'm think it's his own perspective
