Folks, we have set up a DeviantArt group just now. It can be found here [link]

Also, we have a steady stream of new people on the IRC, this is starting to get bigger. If this keeps up, we can start real actions in a short while.

Always remember to join us on IRC! [link]

We are the Internet Freedom Movement. We were founded on the 7th of July 2010, and our purpose is to stop the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA).

ACTA is a multinational treaty that is being negotiated in secret since 2007 between the US, Europe, Japan and several other countries with involvement of several big industry concerns, among them well known ones such as Disney, Time Warner and Viacom. Its supposed purpose is to combat piracy and counterfeiting, however this treaty will heavily impact:

-Civil rights, such as free speech, privacy as well as the assumption of innocence.
-The free Internet
-The market for generic medicaments

ACTA will destroy your freedom, the internet as we know it today, and will threaten the lives of millions of people, especially in developing countries, who rely on cheap and afforable meds.

What can you do?

You have to raise awareness of this treaty. There is a reason it is kept secret: they know it will piss off people. Spread the word, by any means possible (friends, social networks, blogs...).
Contact newspapers and politicans and tell them that you are opposed to ACTA, and that they should speak up against it.

Visit our website here [link] and join us in IRC [link]

Also, please sign the petion on this website [link]

We need your help to stop ACTA! Act now, before it is to late!

Needs to be posted! Hacker Alert!

Stolen from :iconbluehorizon89:

OK, so many of you have heard this already, but there's a hacker going around on DA, he's getting into peoples accounts, and even worse, he deactivates them completely. There is a way to avoid this though, if you ever get an email from nobody@Da.com or something like that, asking you to change your passwords, don't do it, it's a trick to get your account hacked, just delete the email as soon as possible.

and now onto worse matters, below is a message (from microsoft I believe) that is warning people of a massive hacker, and the steps you need to take to stop him from getting you. I would like to thank for getting this info.

IF A PERSON CALLED SIMON ASHTON ( SIMON25@HOTMAIL.CO.UK ) CONTACTS YOU THROUGH EMAIL DON'T OPEN THE MESSAGE. DELETE IT BECAUSE HE IS A HACKER!!

TELL EVERYONE ON YOUR LIST BECAUSE IF SOMEBODY ON YOUR LIST ADDS HIM THEN YOU WILL GET HIM ON YOUR LIST. HE WILL FIGURE OUT YOUR ID COMPUTER ADDRESS, SO COPY AND PASTE THIS MESSAGE TO EVERYONE EVEN IF YOU DON'T CARE FOR THEM AND FAST BECAUSE IF HE HACKS THEIR EMAIL HE HACKS YOUR MAIL TOO!!!!!...

Anyone using Internet mail such as Yahoo, Hotmail, AOL and so on. This information arrived this morning, Direct from both Microsoft and Norton. Please send it to everybody you know who has access to the Internet. You may receive an apparently harmless e-mail titled 'Mail Server Report'

If you open either file, a message will appear on your screen saying: 'It is too late now, your life is no longer beautiful.'

Subsequently you will LOSE EVERYTHING IN YOUR PC,
And the person who sent it to you will gain access to your name, e-mail and password.

This is a new virus which started to circulate on Saturday afternoon. AOL has already confirmed the severity, and the anti virus software's are not capable of destroying it .

The virus has been created by a hacker who calls himself 'life owner'..

PLEASE SEND A COPY OF THIS TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS, And ask them to
PASS IT ON IMMEDIATELY!

Kick ass. I'm for this. I hate the idea of folks knowing my business, it was bad enough when we discovered the Bush Adminstration was secretly wire-tapping folks without permission or reason for doing so.

God help us all if this continues, we all need to stand up and fight for our rights against this. I can't see a world without art, it would be a Epic Fail on Galatic Scale to quote another deviant.

It does little good to simply say, "I support this," if we're not going to do something.

Acta, non verba, right? ;)
