go to http://www.europarl.org/, select your country (left colume) and then find the contacts of your representatives under “Parlament”, “Your MEPs” or something like this. AND LET THEM KNOW WHAT YOU THINK!
P.S: If you think this doesn’t concern you, Megaupload’s owners are from New Zealand, today (1.19.2012) they were deported to USA and will be prosecuted under a crime that DOESN’T EXIST IN THEIR COUNTRY, under a law that HAS NOT BEEN APPROVED YET.
That’s….really fucking awful.
OOC: not being funny but isn’t that sort of illegal arrest? if the law doesn’t exist and the people being arrested aren’t in the same country there’s a ton of by-laws they have to get past to get away with it. doesn’t matter if you’re the american government, you bloody well uphold the laws you make us abide by or you’lll end up with everyone breaking the law. idiots.
((^^^ This. This is why we STILL need to protest through March. For their rights that were taken from them. Hell, even sooner then March if you are able to.))
I’m poor and I don’t know if I’ll make a difference
Reblogging because the PS part. THAT is the big red flag.
The American government will come up with an excuse close to “Their ads were targeting the American audience and therefore are subject to our laws.”
“Places where I was being pirated […] I was selling more and more books. People were discovering me through being pirated. And then they were going out and buying the real books”
“Nobody who would’ve bought your book is not buying it because they can find it for free. What you’re actually doing is advertising, you’re reaching more people, you’re raising awareness.”
