Spread awareness, learn the facts, spread those, contact leaders, politicians, lawyers - anyone who can do anything about it. As shown by Poland, the government doesn't seem to want to listen to its own people, even when they're protesting - even when they're rioting.

BRB, investing in grappling hook, combat boots, and... what was the last thing?  Right, a long red bandana.

Suppose I'll be torrenting floorplans and schedules for several government faclilities then, pulling strings to get streaming satellite camera info, and investing in a few in-ear radios. Also, watching more Animes.

Ah, here's some hopeful news for Europe - even though it's been signed, it still has to get through the European parliament. Which will happen in the 14th of June, we have room to breathe and help affect the out come. Germany, the Netherlands, Estonia, Cyprus and Slovakia also did not sign it.
Not so sure about America and Australia though.

As such, we have around 4 or 5 months to get a shit storm raised to get the EU to vote No.

Tarran has the "Tarran Bug", a bug which causes the affected character to repeatedly hit teammates while dual-wielding instead of whatever the hell he is shooting at.

If Europe votes no America, Australia, Canada and New Zealand will have to opt out as well, or so that is the desired hope. China and Singapore, not so certain about, Singaporeans have not been known to be concerned with the internet, and China already have existing censorship laws.

Wow, this f**king sucks.

If the Europeans protest peacefully, will they listen to the public at all? I mean, this stupid law was in the making tons of years prior, and seemed to be a fallback for SOPA/PIPA, in case those stupid laws didn't get passed and were shelved.

I can only hope...

My goodness! What do you guys need to get them to say no? Food? Guns? Our money--which will likely put us further into debt? Our souls?

China and Singapore, not so certain about, Singaporeans have not been known to be concerned with the internet, and China already have existing censorship laws.
I've never really heard about Singapore sites, so I'd say Singapore wouldn't even be bothered. China... China is already pretty bad and pretty far gone as far as I can tell with their Great Firewall.

Curses! This foils my plans of fleeing to Europe to escape the effects of America's continuing Bush-era descent into madness. I guess there's still the possibility of stopping ACTA in the EU, however small. We need to get the word out, though, and I'll try my best to do so.

What can we in America do about it, besides spreading information?

English Wikipedia could be convinced to black out again, this time for seven days, since it was oh so effective at getting interest.

But I don't think it will work a second time...
