ACTA

PIPA and SOPA have died down since Congress decided to not let them pass back in January. For now nothing has taken surface for Internet users not to fear for their lives. We all know that ACTA have not been heard from in awhile. Many questions have been raised since then about ACTA being enforced or being repealed by the government. The problem with ACTA is that it was an executive agreement. Therefore Congress cannot repeal it. It also raises two questions: What does it have to offer the U.S. Economy and an individual’s privacy rights. While the U.S. may never answer these questions the European Court of Justice has decided to review ACTA to determine if it can satisfy freedom of expression and freedom of the Internet.
Many people in Bulgaria have decided to rally to the streets to protest against the growing concern of ACTA. They gathered not more than a couple days ago to address their growing concern of ACTA. Few towns participated in the rally against ACTA. Participates are glad to say the withdrawal from the Bulgarian cabinet from ACTA has made them very happy. On January 26, 2012, the Bulgarian government decided to sign with the Japanese ACTA treaty, but with all these protest everyone has made a successful part in ridding his or her country of the horrible treaty. If America were to rally like the Bulgarians would we rid our country of this invisible force called ACTA? If the Supreme Court were to review ACTA and see if it applied to the constitution, would things be different?
