    Hello all,

    Yes, I'm new to Hip. I'm not sure if there's any big anti-ACTA activists on here, but it's beginning to become a VERY hot issue. I've been passing around this PSA, and I encourage all of you, regardless of political belief, to forward this to your friends, loved ones, co-workers, and family.

    The internet has always been a domain for freedom. But now, our independence could potentially be robbed from us without many even knowing it happened. Please watch this short 2 minute PSA about ACTA, and how it will affect you.

    ACTA is the Anti Counterfeiting Trade Agreement, designed by world leaders at this year's G20 in Toronto. It is designed to tighten laws regarding copyright infringement, censor information, handicap public domain (such as famous paintings, etc), as well as number of other violations of common human right.

    The time to act is NOW

    A non enforceable threat to a mostly ignorant consumer public really when one stops to think of the average homeowner possessing anything like a wireless router with multiple channels and the ability to bridge even more hubs,,,

    :2thumbsup:

    Have a look at "Guest Network" options in the owners manual. :cheers2:


    And will continue to be just that.
