ACTA getting shot down...

It seems that ACTA is going under. Which is good news, since the passing of such laws are in detriment of the people.

The good thing that is coming out of this, is that people are getting together to protect the right to have a free and open Internet. But the sad part is that the industry and politicians that propose this laws are not really going to stop trying to get them through.

At the end, it seems that many don't really understand that the way to go now is to truly innovate, or bring new things to the table. The time when anyone could come with a few innovative ideas from time to time are gone, and for good.

And a free and open Internet could be one of the best tools to help to bring innovation. It makes is easier to share ideas and information between individuals and organizations, thus making it easier to come with new ways to do things. Because you have access to a wealth of information, is easier to come to solutions that you hadn't though about yourself.

It also makes it easier to bring people together to collaborate to find solutions, or simply exchange ideas. People have an easier way to find others with similar problems, and collaborate to find the best solutions possible.

Crippling the Internet, means crippling one of the tools that can bring the best chances to truly bring the world together in our quest for a better life. The Internet is forum where we can be equal in ways that cannot be on the real world. It gives all access to a wealth of knowledge that can really help many people to empower themselves with the knowledge and networking that could prove crucial to have a better life.

I do believe that the Internet stop belonging to any particular entity or group, and have come to be of all the people. So, we all should have unrestricted access to it, and use it as it best fit out interests.

Any attempt to censor, or restrict, our activities on should be avoided at all costs. We should be the ones who police the Internet, not small groups or industries.

So, make lets make sure that all know that the Internet belongs to the people now.
