Swansea has a dead drop. :)

Time to make some dead drops?

Downloading sucks right now. It really makes me want to install dead drops everywhere.

Dead drops - USB flash memory in public places for sharing offline.

Yes, yes yes. I am so doing this.  London, prepare to be littered with these…

Ooo, yes, do that! There are five already in London, according to the map, but seriously, the more the better.

There’s an iPhone app, in case anyone out there wants to be able to find dead drops wherever they are. :)

The irony is I’m sharing this on Tumblr.

But first of all, you gotta remove the fucking region restrictions on DVDs, so that people could buy seasons of TV shows they want from abroad and watch it in their country.

And second, either open up websites and show your programmes, along with commercials, available for streaming for the international audience legally (maybe for a small fee), or allow downloading TV rips of seasons that are CURRENTLY AIRING and NOT AVAILABLE ON DVD YET.

If you want people to pay for your products, LET THEM. GIVE THEM THE FUCKING MEANS. YOU STUPID COMPANIES AREN’T DOING THIS AND THEN COMPLAINING ABOUT PIRACY.

Guys, ACTA does not go into effect tomorrow, nor is a vote happening tomorrow. While the petition on AccessNow is, I’m sure, an extremely impressive benchmark (100,000, guys, we did it!) we don’t need 100,000 signatures or 150,000 or whatever number they’ll adjust it to when they hit 150,000 (as they should, because they’re trying to drum up support, and numbers breed urgency.)

On Thursday, January 26th, 2012, the Polish government is planning to ratify ACTA. There were, as you might expect, protests—intense ones—and you should definitely contact your government if you are Polish. According to a member of the European Parliament, discussions on ACTA in the EU will start on the first of March, and while the EU did initially promise to ratify ACTA, severe doubts have been raised by EU committees. Continuing to quote Marietje Schaake, member of the European Parliament:

TL;DR: Important dates for ACTA in the European Parliament:
- 29 February/1 March: Discussion in international trade committee,
- April or May: Vote in international trade committee,
- 12, 13 or 14 June: Final vote in plenary (most important vote).

Okay, that’s it! Please do consider signing the petition as this is still super important!

From what I’m hearing, the EU’s signed ACTA, but it can still be halted by the European Parliament. Found one petition so far, but will keep you posted. Keep signing the others, too, but this one REALLY needs to get higher up.

IT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT COUNTRY YOU’RE FROM, YOU CAN SIGN THIS PETITION.

AND YOU REALLY, REALLY SHOULD.

ALSO

Here is the latest stage in what you can do to fight ACTA: Contact the DEVE committee. Do not leave them alone. They need to realise how serious this is.

Everyone should also post their responses on the pad, as well as read through it. There’s some great points that you can use when you contact them.
