well, I've run into some distressing news...
I possibly hold the key to the survival of multiple websites from being shut down, possibly including this one.... now, what comes after this, is what a copied from someone's journal from Deviant Art *Ahem* :
IF YOU DO NOTHING, OR DON'T EVEN TRY POSTING A JOURNAL ABOUT THIS, DEVIANTART (AND POSSILBY OTHER SITES) WILL MOST LIKELY BE SHUT DOWN BECAUSE OF THIS TPP thingy.
Omg, something way worse than SOPA has appeared, and will completely change how you use the internet!! Please sign and post journals!! ;A; This is extremely important oh my god
"EVERYONE NEEDS TO SIGN THIS PETITION RIGHT NOW WHILE YOU STILL HAVE THE INTERNET TO DO SO
Tony Abbott is about the sign off on possibly the worst power grab we’ve ever seen. The Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP)
If he signed this, your internet provider would be FORCED to POLICE YOUR ACTIVITY, and report everything you do online. There would be NO anonymous browsing, no “incognito” modes, no torrenting, no file sharing, NOTHING. Fanfics, fanarts, fanvids, ANYTHING thought to breach ANY kind of copyright, even in a completely harmless way, would be reported, and after THREE STRIKES, you WILL BE SENTENCED.
You thought SOPA was bad? That is NOTHING compared to the TPP.
SIGN THIS NOW"
SIGN THE PETITION!!
https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/stop-sopa-policies-trans-pacific-partnership-notice-and-staydown-efforts-and-other-policies/dXMRvNh8Please sign it, and post it everywhere!! Facebook, journals, ect!! wherever!!
And remember, deviantART (and other sites, possibly like YouTube or google) will probably be shut down, just because of TPP ;; So please AT LEAST post a journal about this ;;
I am sorry for this chain mail but this is super important!
This is a repost of Gagtron's journal! on DA.
this Journal has sent a fear running through me ten times worse of that then what Sopa did... over 90,000 votes are still needed to stop this, and there are only just over 9000 votes at the moment, we have until April 13th, 2014 to reach that goal, that less then two weeks from now... I hope to god this is fake, because I can almost bet this site will go down if it passes for that fact it has fan-based rps on it... the guild has over 6000 people on it, if I were to get this message out perhaps they could spread the message, by any means necessary....
guy's.... it's looking grim... and if this thing passes... and this site, and any other site like it is shut down, and we never meet again... I just want you to all know that I'm gonna miss the hell out of you DX
