Ahahaha, and here comes Anonymous into the fray!
Reblogging myself to add that the U.S. Copyright Office website is now down as well.
Welcome to Operation Mindcrime.

I clicked on the source to see if this was legit. The staff really sent this.
The source is the Tumblr Staff blog. BUT they didnt post this text. It links back to a completely different post.
This is a petition on the Directgov website - this goes straight through to parliament and at the current time of posting it only has 21 signatures
I know a lot of people are reblogging the one sponsored by anonymous which is great but if you live in the UK, this is going to be your best best at getting yourself heard about ACTA - even if you don’t live in the UK or even the EU, PLEASE REBLOG THIS, as ACTA is something that not only affects Europe but the rest of the world as well and this could be one of the only opportunities for it to be downturned
COME ON GUYS!!!!!
No more pretending to be US citizens just to sign petitions! This one’s international so we can petition our government too and we NEED to let them know we’re not ok with this.
We’re already in danger of extradition just for posting links to pirated files (see Richard O’Dwyer’s case), and this would make things a whole lot worse.
Spread the word!!
Actually, this says I can’t sign because I’m not a British citizen and I don’t live in the UK. So if you are either of those please sign this.
my mom’s argument against piracy is “well what if you wrote a book and one person bought it and then hundreds of people got to read it for free and you didn’t make any money!”
MOTHER YOU HAVE JUST DESCRIBED
