On Saturday the 9th of June, there will be a Europe wide anti-cispa demonstration in different cities, I will be going to my local protest with a camera and my iPhone to document the event, so follow this blog if you are interested in seeing what happens :)
SOPA and PIPA are threatening the future of the Internet and big businesses are buying our leaders to try and ram this thing through. Head on over to http://www.americancensorship.com and write Congress telling them to cut it out.
Also, the song isn’t pro-piracy, it’s hyperbole and it’s meant as part statement and part explanation of why the problem of piracy exists. In some ways, it’s an extreme response to an extreme bill. From another angle, piracy isn’t a reason to destroy the freedoms of the rest of the law abiding populace. There are also many bands, like ours, that use things like torrents that are traditionally associated with piracy to distribute music. This is the government using a small problem that can be addressed in much simpler ways to grab broad new powers over law abiding citizens. It’s almost literary in it’s conspiracy-ness-osity. Anyway….
Then go download the torrent of this song that we uploaded freely. It’s on www.ThePirateBay.org. The torrent is here: http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/6959056/
Please tell your friends about stopping SOPA and PIPA and tell them to snag this torrent.

Momentum against the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement continued to build on Thursday as three different committees of the European Parliament voted not to recommend adoption of the treaty. A final vote by the full European Parliament is scheduled for July.
The EU-wide votes followed on the heels of a Wednesday vote in the Dutch parliament. The Dutch government had placed the controversial copyright treaty on the back burner while it waited for the results of Europe-wide debate over the treaty. But the vote in the Dutch parliament will place pressure on the government to actively oppose the treaty.
The ACTA treaty is nominally an anti-counterfeiting treaty, but its provisions would have broader implications for copyright policy. While the treaty is not as bad as its strongest critics claim, it would be a vehicle for ratcheting up already excessive copyright protections by one more notch.
It was signed by President Obama last year, and was expected to be approved easily in Europe. But every EU nation must sign on for it to take effect, and the treaty has been losing momentum for months. The Netherlands joins Poland, the Czech Republic, and Germany in expressing reservations.
On Thursday, three committees of the European Parliament—the industry committee, the civil liberties committee, and the legal affairs committee—all registered their disapproval of the treaty. But their decisions are not final. The trade committee must still weigh in, and then the matter will be taken up by the full European parliament later this summer.
In a blog post, Pirate Party founder Rick Falkvinge said the fight was not yet over. “What happened today was the first step in a long chain that ends with the final vote in all of the European Parliament, which is the vote where ACTA ultimately lives or dies,” he wrote. “If it is defeated on the floor of the European Parliament, then it’s a permakill. Boom, headshot.”
