buzzpunkhey, I'm from Scotland in the UK :D, and i was wondering will ACTA monitor my ISP over here, or will it be only local to the US and Canada? In short, will I still be able to download stuff without being caught?The UK just recently said they would not allow copyright infringement to become a federal crime. Most likely European countries are going to be like this. It's primarily the US politicians who are in the pocketbooks of the industry.

SephThat is very unlikely to happen. I think it's important that people do not panic, there's a lot of people here who seem to think the world is going under, and to be honest you're all over reacting. The ACTA is a problem, but it's not finalized and there's no guarantee it will be.Yes I admit I overreacted, but hell I am sitting on a lot of illegal shit (yes I know RomU has more) that can really send me up the creek for quite awhile but more I thought about it, in reality I can not see any ISP spending extra money let alone the time watching everyone 24/7 using their services especially in large cities as you know they would raise the prices for the services and eventually would lose customers. Plus if anyone has access to a laptop and close to a wifi hotspot what to stop them from getting caught downloading? A friend of mine just today went the local library with his laptop sat in the parking lot and downloaded some roms and some emulators for his PSP (his net was down at home is the main reason he done this) the funny thing is inside you cannot access a lot of sites which tells me they blocked it on the actual computers and not the connections (if that's even possible).
