ACTA in a Nutshell –

What is ACTA?  ACTA is the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement. A new intellectual property enforcement treaty being negotiated by the United States, the European Community, Switzerland, and Japan, with Australia, the Republic of Korea, New Zealand, Mexico, Jordan, Morocco, Singapore, the United Arab Emirates, and Canada recently announcing that they will join in as well.

Why should you care about ACTA? Initial reports indicate that the treaty will have a very broad scope and will involve new tools targeting “Internet distribution and information technology.”

What is the goal of ACTA? Reportedly the goal is to create new legal standards of intellectual property enforcement, as well as increased international cooperation, an example of which would be an increase in information sharing between signatory countries’ law enforcement agencies.

Essential ACTA Resources - 

  • Read more about ACTA here: ACTA Fact Sheet
  • Read the authentic version of the ACTA text as of 15 April 2011, as finalized by participating countries here: ACTA Finalized Text
  • Follow the history of the treaty’s formation here: ACTA history
  • Read letters from U.S. Senator Ron Wyden wherein he challenges the constitutionality of ACTA: Letter 1 | Letter 2 | Read the Administration’s Response to Wyden’s First Letter here: Response
  • Watch a short informative video on ACTA: ACTA Video
  • Watch a lulzy video on ACTA: Lulzy Video

Say NO to ACTA. It is essential to spread awareness and get the word out on ACTA.

xkcd poster for sale

I recently purchased this from xkcd, not realizing it was a two-pack including the 2007 version of the "Map of Online Communities" poster as well as the 2010 I was after. This means I now have an extra of the 2007, which I don't need. Sells there for $15 + $5 shipping; selling here for $10 shipping included. Completely new condition, although it seems to have gotten a little crunched when they were rolling it up and sticking it in the tube.

Free to good home

Would anyone be interested in any of the following DVDs? We purchased these for the library, but they're not closed-captioned, so we can't add them to the collection (we have a policy to only add CC or English-subtitled video items, for accessibility). They do not have cases because I kept those as supplies for future use, but I can send you the original cover art insert with the disc. A buck or two for mailing costs is appreciated but not required.

The War episodes: Nisei soldiers; Bay Area stories; Soldados (one disc)

ACLU Freedom Files episodes: Voting rights; Gay & lesbian rights; The Supreme Court; Youth speak; Drug wars; Women's rights (each its own disc)

OMG spoilers: the (very tongue-in-cheek) conclusion is that Twilight vampires are giant parasitic butterflies. *sporfle*

I still have two of the uncolored Star Trek: TNG valentines from this artist (see this picture to jump right to the specific ones), after giving the other two to my mother and husband. I have the Deanna Troi one and the "Lo-cutest" one. If you'd like one of them just say the word (first come, first served).

woob woob woob!

Husband is playing Batman: Arkham Asylum and we noted the Joker using the line from the Three Stooges short feature, Men in Black (no relation plotwise!), "Paging Dr. Howard, Dr. Fine, Dr. Howard..." As you might expect in the Wikipedia article, there's a short section with other pop culture references.

I mused aloud that it probably said something about the US that the Three Stooges were such a big part of our pop culture inheritance, rather than being forgotten in the slag heap of Hollywood, and struggled to think what, if any, would be comparable points in the cultures of Canada and Britian. I mean, the Kids in the Hall and Monty Python immediately come to mind in the skit/slapstick/silly comedy arenas, but those are both much more recent. (And more clever, to my mind, although maybe it's a different kind of cleverness; as I remarked to [livejournal.com profile] cosmiccoz the other day that I couldn't imagine Dr Who lines appearing in any American TV shows, that our screenwriting seemed fundamentally different in character, I suppose the converse? inverse? is true as well.)

So I wonder, and ask the hive mind: what, if the question is sensible (and it may not be; it may be too Americentric, and the focal points are elsewhen elsewhere), are really the blocks which have the same place in respective pop culture piles as the Three Stooges do in that of the US?

DanRad wears 19th century clothing rather well. (it is, isn't it? and not, like, early 20th century? god I feel dumb not knowing for sure, but in all the information on the book, the play, the radio drama, the tv show, and now this film, nobody mentions when the damn thing is set.)
