<br>
Lately I've seen a number of calls to action for "Black March" whose<br>
participants are urged not to acquire any kind of artistic works<br>
during March 2012 [1].<br>
The idea behind it is to deny profits to the "content industry" in<br>
order to stop them from their heavy loobying activities.<br>
<br>
In it's current form I would strongly advise against participating or<br>
continue spreading it!<br>
I urge all pirates to participate solely with a heavily sophisticated<br>
version of this action or otherwise to publicly distance themselves<br>
from it.<br>
<br>
In the current form it's one of the dumbest thing I've ever seen.<br>
I appreciate the intention, but unforntunately that will likely not<br>
matter: Likely mass media will display those participating to be<br>
against art or artists in general.<br>
Thus, those who support it (or are jus even just getting linked to it)<br>
will be placed close to the most inhumane regimes known in the history<br>
of mankind.<br>
<br>
To propose an alternative: It would be way better and more<br>
sophisticated to program and distribute programs that warn users of<br>
artistic works, that have beem<br>
which are marketed by corporations which use said lobbying, such as<br>
the "big 6" [3]. This has been has already been done for SOPA / PIPA,<br>
making, so it is it possible [2a][2b].<br>
<br>
I write this now, as there seems to be more and more supporter of this<br>
call to action in it's unsophisticated, poulistic and dangerous<br>
version<br>
I have been personally supporting artists and programmers for years<br>
that work on their own an not via the "content industry"; I will<br>
continue to so in March as well.<br>
>From my perspective one of the aim of the pirate movement is the<br>
liberation of art from copyright, but it has never been the liberation<br>
of the world from art.<br>
However the latter one is a common accusation by opponents of the<br>
pirate movement.<br>
If this action is carried out in the current form without clearly<br>
communicating *in advance* that would be solely targeted at the<br>
"content industry", but not artists it will be used as an argument<br>
against you in mass media.<br>
<br>
This is solely my personal opinion. It is not an official<br>
communication as part of any of my current mandates.<br>
<br>
Sidenote: I would like to take the opportunity to advertise the<br>
project political javascript. [5]<br>

Hi Pirates International,<br>
<br>
In times of ACTA and SOPA it becomes obviously nessecary to discuss Counter-Agreements which represent the interest of the common towards industrial lobbys. The idea is to initiate a multinational agreement, called "international liberty agreement".<br>
<br>
The Intention is to set minimal standards for civil liberties, especially but not exclusively in digital networks. The negotiations will be carried out publicly from the beginning. The civil societies and interested organisations will be included into the discussion by the negotiating nations.<br>
<br>
You can find More about ILA and the Intention on this URL: <a href="https://piratenpad.de/p/ILA-en" target="_blank">https://piratenpad.de/p/ILA-en</a><br>
<br>
So whats my purpose ?<br>
<br>
1.<br>
The idea aroused and I like it. So the idea has to be seeded in different Nations.<br>
<br>
2.<br>
If there should be some people who are interested in negotiating ILA, the PPI might be the right place to start with.<br>
<br>
Have fun reading the Pad!<br>

I think it is much better to support the European Green's proposal to<br>
reform copyright in Europe (which has been drafted by the Swedish PP,<br>
basically).<br>

Hi--<br>
<br>
Together, we beat SOPA in a huge victory for internet freedom. But this<br>
Saturday, internet freedom protests are breaking out in over 200 cities<br>
across Europe. Why?<br>
<br>
*Because the companies behind SOPA are using international trade agreements<br>
as a backdoor to pass SOPA-style<br>
laws*<<a href="http://act.fightforthefuture.org/page/m/2e1f20ae/1d059023/706e8316/f863fe3/1245569059/VEsH/" target="_blank">http://act.fightforthefuture.org/page/m/2e1f20ae/1d059023/706e8316/f863fe3/1245569059/VEsH/</a>><br>
<br>
SOPA's supporters are pushing two agreements: ACTA and TPP1. ACTA would<br>
criminalize users, encourage internet providers to spy on you, and make it<br>
easier for media companies to sue sites out of existence and jail their<br>
founders. Sound familiar?* *That's right, ACTA is from the same playbook<br>
as SOPA, but global. Plus it didn't even have to pass through Congress2.<br>
<br>
TPP goes even farther than ACTA, and the process has been even more<br>
secretive and corrupt. Last weekend (we wish this was a joke) *trade<br>
negotiators partied with MPAA (pro-SOPA) lobbyists before secret<br>
negotiations in a Hollywood hotel, while public interest groups were barred<br>
from meeting in the same building.*3<br>
<br>
Trade agreements are a gaping loophole, a secretive backdoor track<br>
that--even though it creates new laws--is miles removed from<br>
democracy. Trade negotiators are unelected and unaccountable, so these<br>
agreements have been *very* hard for internet rights groups to stop.<br>
<br>
But now the tide is turning. Fueled by the movement to stop SOPA,<br>
anti-ACTA protests are breaking out across the EU, which hasn't ratified<br>
ACTA. *The protests are having an impact: leaders in Poland, the Czech<br>
Republic, and Slovakia have backtracked on ACTA.*4 *Now a massive round of<br>
street protests in over 200 cities is planned for this Saturday February<br>
11th.*<br>
<br>
We're planning an online protest this Saturday to support the protests in<br>
the streets. Why? Because together we can drive millions of emails to key<br>
decision makers--and start tipping the scales like we did on SOPA.<br>
<br>
*Can you take part? Click here to get the code to run on your<br>
site!*<<a href="http://act.fightforthefuture.org/page/m/2e1f20ae/1d059023/706e8316/f863fe0/1245569059/VEsE/" target="_blank">http://act.fightforthefuture.org/page/m/2e1f20ae/1d059023/706e8316/f863fe0/1245569059/VEsE/</a>><br>
<br>
We just built an ACTA & TPP contact tool, and it's not just a petition. It's<br>
code for your site that figures out the visitor's country and lets them<br>
email all their Members of European Parliament--the politicians who will be<br>
voting on ACTA in June--or the trade negotiators behind TPP. *This direct<br>
contact between voters and their officials, driven by websites of all<br>
sizes, was instrumental in the fight against SOPA. ** *<br>
<br>
We can use the same tactics to defeat ACTA & TPP, but we need your help!<br>
<br>
*Support the street protests with a flood of emails to the officials<br>
responsible for ACTA & TPP. Get the code for your<br>
website!*<<a href="http://act.fightforthefuture.org/page/m/2e1f20ae/1d059023/706e8316/f863fe0/1245569059/VEsF/" target="_blank">http://act.fightforthefuture.org/page/m/2e1f20ae/1d059023/706e8316/f863fe0/1245569059/VEsF/</a>><br>
<br>
*Don't have a website? Tell officials in your country to scrap ACTA &<br>
TPP! And spread the word about Saturday's protests!<br>
*<<a href="http://act.fightforthefuture.org/page/m/2e1f20ae/1d059023/706e8316/f863fe3/1245569059/VEsC/" target="_blank">http://act.fightforthefuture.org/page/m/2e1f20ae/1d059023/706e8316/f863fe3/1245569059/VEsC/</a>><br>
<br>
This is going to be tough fight. But we need to make secretive trade<br>
agreements harder to pass than US law. If we don't, our internet's future<br>
belongs to the lobbyists behind SOPA.<br>
