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.

The Copyfraud ping: copyright, patent and trademark law, mainly as applied to the digital age, especially their abuse.
If you want on or off the Copyfraud Ping List, Freepmail me.

Bad News!

All Congress wouuld need to do to snuff free speech is to extend a copyright on all Federal documents and pieces, and forbid distribution of it.

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.

That link didn’t work for me. Is there another source for this (or sources)?

Where is the guy who wants to be president badly enough to run on a freedom platform?

I’d vote for him. Or her.

Time to revolt.

These are more new laws that will make us all criminals.

There is no place to turn.

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.
