YouTube - Stealth Legislation - stop it now before it stops you!
If you live in Europe, you should be really concerned (http://www.openrightsgroup.org/2008/07/02/write-to-your-mep-say-no-to-3-strikes-through-the-backdoor/) right about now. A small group of MEPs are trying to sneak in a law that could punish you even if you're innocent. When it goes through, if anyone in your household has been determined to be file-sharing by your Internet Service Provider (ISP) three times, they'll blacklist your IP for life!
There's less than one day to stop this from being passed. It was slipped in right before the legislators broke for the summer, hidden within a huge package of telecom legislation, so most of them won't even get a chance to read it before they vote! Hugh Hancock (http://cairmen.livejournal.com/), Johnnie Ingram (http://www.machinimafordummies.com/), and Matt Kelland (http://worldofmongoose.blogspot.com/) decided to do something about it (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tqrkj9x4bqI) by creating a machinima (http://www.wowinsider.com/category/machinima/) to warn everyone. If you would like to know more about what's going on, check out the Strange Company website (http://stealth.strangecompany.org/), where they outline what you can do to help.
