"I consider that the arguments for a halt to the ratification process are justified," Donald Tusk told reporters.
 
"The issue of signing of the ACTA accord did not involve sufficient consultation with everyone who is part of the process," Tusk said, adding that he would hold broad talks on what to do next.

"The ACTA ratification process will be frozen as long as we haven't overcome all the doubts. This will probably require a review of Polish law. We can't rule out that, at the end of the day, this accord will not be approved."

#Twitter : British Tourist's On Terrorist Watch List Over A Twitter Joke !

British Tourists on Terrorist Watch List over a Twitter Joke

Police State - A Reality for Americans

UK Media reported that a young British tourist couple has been arrested by DHS and barred from entering the U.S. after joking on Twitter that they were going to 'destroy America' and 'dig up Marilyn Monroe'.

British Tourists on Terrorist Watch List over a Twitter Joke

Leigh Van Bryan, 26 yrs old, was put in a cell with Mexican drug dealers for 12 hours after his landing in the city of Angeles with his girlfriend Emily Bunting.

The DHS flagged them as a potential terrorist threat when he posted a thrilled tweet to his friends about the trip he envisaged to undertake to Hollywood, which read: 'Free this week, for quick gossip/prep before I go and destroy America?'

Regardless of the fact that they were explaining to the DHS agents that the term 'destroy' was a British-English slang for 'party', the couple was detained on suspicion of planning to 'commit crimes', their names were put on the terrorist watch list and their passports confiscated.

#ACTA = Global Internet #Censorship – Now Even Foreign Governments Will Be Able To Have Your Website Shut Down

Michael Synder ~ The American Dream

Global Internet censorship is here.

SOPA and PIPA have been stopped (at least for now) in the United States, but a treaty known as ACTA (the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement) is far worse than either of them.

ACTA was quietly signed by Barack Obama back on October 1st, 2011 and most Americans have never even heard of it. But it could mean the end of the Internet as we know it. This new treaty gives foreign governments and copyright owners incredibly broad powers.

If you are alleged to have violated a copyright, your website can be shut down without a trial and police may even show up at your door to take you to prison. It doesn't even have to be someone in the United States that is accusing you. It could just be a foreign government or a copyright owner halfway across the world that alleges that you have violated a copyright.

It doesn't matter.

So far, the U.S., the EU and seven other nations have signed on to ACTA, and the number of participants is expected to continue to grow. The "powers that be" are obsessed with getting Internet censorship one way or another. The open and free Internet that you and I have been enjoying for all these years is about to change, and not for the better.

So how come the U.S. Senate never voted on ACTA?

Doesn't the U.S. Constitution mandate that all treaties must be approved by a two-thirds vote in the Senate?

Of course it does.

But Barack Obama has gotten around this by calling ACTA an "executive agreement", which is a load of crap.

Unfortunately, this is the kind of nonsense we are getting out of Obama on a regular basis now. He has shown endless disdain for the U.S. Constitution.

Some members of Congress are expressing deep alarm over ACTA. For example, U.S. Representative Darrell Issa is calling ACTA "more dangerous than SOPA".

There are some members of Congress that are even demanding that ACTA be submitted to the U.S. Senate for a vote. Unfortunately, their voices are very few so far, and ACTA is getting next to no coverage in the mainstream media.

But this new treaty is very, very serious.

It basically mandates that all Internet communications be constantly monitored for copyright infringement. Sites like YouTube, Facebook and Twitter will have to monitor accounts for copyright infringement 24 hours a day.

If you are alleged to have committed a violation, you might not just lose your social media account or your website.

You could potentially be sent to prison.

Yes, seriously.

What we are talking about is Chinese-style Internet censorship for the entire globe.

UK #Libel Laws Must Change...

Since 2007 my eyes have slowly opened to the corruption going on in the world, the manipulation behind closed doors, been introduced to the workings behind companies (such as Monsanto) and the hidden poisons in our food. In fact, I would not have set off down the road to truth if it hadn’t been for the gate latch being lifted by various areas of the McCann case, least of all Carter-Ruck gagging the press from reporting on the allegations that Trafigura dumped toxic waste in the Ivory Coast in 2006. It was a shock for me to learn that law firms are able to instigate something like that. But it was the string of libel actions by the McCann couple that flung the gate open. If not for those events taking place I would probably still be picking daisies and thinking how wonderfully fluffy the world is.

I am now learning just how dangerous the UK libel laws are for anyone who may disagree with those who may have money to burn. With a huge push from ‘Anonymous’ who left some links on Little Morsals last night I’m on my way to the motorway of eye popping (and worrying) stories regarding libel.

Sally Morgan (an apparent psychic – who obviously didn’t see this one coming) is
to sue Paul Zenon over his Daily Mail article “What a load of crystal balls” for daring to detail some of the tricks of the trade, in effect saying he’s sceptical of her ‘abilities’. But Sally is also demanding damages of £150,000 from Associated Newspapers over the Daily Mail article.

Daily Mail still stealing online content

Daily mail Accused of lifting Flickr Images
So, yesterday the Daily Mail shuts down istyosty.com for copyright infringement whilst claiming that they were entitled to recover all of the - in the words of the lawyers representing Associated Newspapers - ’ill-gotten profits’ made by istyosty.com as a result of caching Mail Online articles.

As usual, the Daily Mail is being deeply hypocritical and relying – once more – on simply bullying the opposition with expensive lawyers because the Daily Mail have a deserved reputation for stealing online content without any attempt at payment or attribution.

You see, the Daily Mail can always find money for expensive lawyers, but they cannot find money to pay others for the use of their content; in the same way that they can moan that istyosty.com have stolen precious web hits yet when they steal stories from websites they don’t even have the courtesy to provide a weblink.

The Mail is happy to apply the dark arts to steal online content, but is not prepared to engage in any form of standard web etiquette.

The Daily Mail have, allegedly, been nicking photos again. And the owner of the photos is not happy. Really, they are in fact $1.5 million not happy…
Florida based celebrity photo agency Mavrix have filed suit against the British newspaper for multiple copyright infringements, and are seeking statutory damages of $150,000 per infringement. With up to 10 images involved the total sought comes to $1.5m plus attorney’s fees and “any such other and further relief as the Court may deem just and appropriate”.

There is an informal badge of honour that exists amongst bloggers that marks you out as someone who has caught the eye of the mass market media, but are deemed to be too small to be of consequence.

It’s the moment a newspaper nicks a photo or other content from a blog and hopes you wont notice.

It turns out that I have been inducted into this dubious hall of fame, after serial copyright infringers, the Daily Mail decided to write an article, and use my photos to illustrate it.

The blog post in question is the one the other day about the anniversary of the Cock Lane ghost.

To be honest, not one of my best, as there wasn’t anything new I could add to the story other than marking an otherwise probably overlooked anniversary.

It is, to historians at least, very well documented, and the Wikipedia page is unusually detailed for something that took place 250 years ago.

I trawled through my own collection of vintage newspapers and engravings to see if I could add much more to the story – but ended up with a summary of the facts.

I did however visit Cock Lane to take a photo of it as it is today, and got copies of a couple of contemporary newspaper reports.

You can imagine my surprise then when one of the newspaper scans, and my photo of Cock Lane appeared in the Daily Mail.
