This is the copyright treaty that was being discussed in secret, and both Bush and "Hope 'n Change" Obama tried their hardest to prevent the public from seeing. At the same time, companies of the copyright cartel were in on the negotiations, but rights groups were locked out.

This will be presented to us fait accompli. As a treaty, it will be considered to override the Constitution, and it will destroy our basis for copyright as allowed in the Constitution.

Such as it was when we let the world assume control of the internet we established.

What would we expect with the Mark Lloyd perspective on media and the Anita Dunn methodology? The current administration is building a federal oligarchy. Media must be controlled in such a program because truth is their most dangerous enemy.

You mean to tell me I couldn’t post my OWN material if I happen to hold a copyright on it?

This was started under Bush. Obama is just keeping with the program contrary to his promises.

We will ignore any laws passed in this regard. Ignore and fight at every level. Wear them down to the point where enforcement is impossible.
