The Internet interprets censorship as damage and attempts to route round it.

So as I understand well .......
When the ACTA law is accepted by the members of the EU and other countries (signing in Tokyo at February 29th, 2012) I am forced to close down my website www.mydominionnl.com, because a large part of my site is based on contents of the world wide web ?

I'm not that read up on this, but how is it censorship to say "dont provide links that lead to illegal downloads/ allow copyrighted content on your website"? Seems quite reasonable to me. Megaupload didn't have a moral or legal leg to stand on. Be happy you got years of free entertainment and accept it was fun while it lasted. Anonymous arent fooling anyone by trying to tie it in to the censorship issue.

Because the legislation to stop linking to pirated content is overly broad. This site could have been taken down under the proposed measures simply due to the fact that people put links to megaupload on here.DeWinter wrote:I'm not that read up on this, but how is it censorship to say "dont provide links that lead to illegal downloads/ allow copyrighted content on your website"?

Edit to add: what gets put on here is generally independent recordings of live shows, of which the band tacitly approve. That wouldn't matter. Just linking to the bare megaupload url is enough.
So... hypothetical situation: a blog I don't like has open comments. I get a friend to post a link to megaupload in a comment, then I complain to the Kopyright Kops, and said blog gets taken down. That's how it's censorship.
