Where does that money come from??
These pseudo-privacy-friendy search engine companies cause me grave concern. There are very few of them (DuckDuckGo, Disconnect.me, Startpage) and all promise something entirely unverifiable: where it the source code to their search engines? Even more concerning: where on earth did DuckDuckGo get all of that money if not from ad revenue and selling user search information?
The only positive advance can come from decentralizing search, but in the meantime there are Searx instances where at least the source code is available to all under the Affero GPLv3+ license, which is the only decent license for software that users access through a network. "Cloud computing" is a terrible name for this. It is using software executing on someone else's computer: that is essentially what so-called "Web apps" are, and AGPLv3+ protects the deserved liberties of users in a global internetworked world.
Now the benefit of Searx is the fact that anyone can run an instance of it, so we can choose where we proxy out from, but it still is merely a centralised glorified proxy to Google/Bing/Yahoo/etc. It does however have one of the best user interface and features of any search engine I have ever used.
There is an instance in the USA that is perhaps most popular:
And one in France from La Quadrature du Net (and associated Onion hidden service):
http://searx.laquadrature.net/
http://searchb5a7tmimez.onion/And here is another Searx hidden service instance, no idea which country it is in:
http://ry2yhmjtylb6vtta.onion/
If one wants any decent level of anonymity, stop accessing search engines running non-free software and stop sending clearnet DNS requests and use an
.onion Searx instance. Only then can one begin to have even an iota of defense searching the web. -
It's not Net Neutrality
Yes, it's not Net Neutrality.
The news's title is poorly chosen and should be changed. Right now it's just Europa propaganda. I'm a little sad to see Slashdot spread this false information.
Here is the reaction of the Quadrature du Net, a French association fighting for net freedom:

The sad thing is...
The sad thing is that "negligence" is exactly what the French 3-strikes HADOPI law is based on (Article 6 11): http://www.laquadrature.net/wiki/HADOPI_translation Or maybe it's not so sad, because if that's the only way the MAFIAA found to get this law passed, they must indeed have been running out of options...

IPRED SP1
Don't forget, IPRED is already in force, so the announced revision is not a 'new law' nor a 'treaty'.

Re:How do we protest this?
Once again the French come through:How to act against ACTA.
In addition, if you're a member or supporter of any national party in Europe, lean on your party's committee members as well. Often they have a large influence on their EU counterparts, and don't forget that your own governments still have to ratify the treaty.
Sadly, it looks like in many countries ACTA will sail through the ratification process: at that point most ruling parties will already have given it their implicit endorsement, and they might look silly nacking out now. Rebelious coalition members might vote in favour as well, out of political expedience. If the EU parliament does not kill this, I guess it'll be too late. -
Re:Say no to ...
It is not enough. The process is skewed heavily in favor of the right holders and their government representatives. Even the rapporteur for ACTA at the European Parliament thinks so: https://www.laquadrature.net/wiki/ACTA_rapporteur_denounces_ACTA_mascarade
It is a lost fight unless everyone in Europe picks the phone to their EMP and tells them in no uncertain terms to vote ACTA down or lose votes. And then have all your friends do so too.

Re:What...
That video generates more questions in my brain than it answers.
What questions?
"ACTA is bad, nnkay?" it says, which is not enough.
It's enought for the video. Nobody would watch a 30 minutes boring video quoting obfuscated texts refering to more obfuscated texts already signed by countries dozens of years before that.
The point of this video is to try to get the interest of a lot of people. The one who didn't heard of ACTA before. Once these people are interested, they can seek informations by themselves. The link provided in the video, that's a good start. Or see the wikipedia page, seek on the search engine, or seek on their favorite online newspaper.The extremely one-side view on ACTA the video provides sickens me.
Well, what do you suggest? A more positive approach? Like "Think of the future, nobody will be able to share knowledge, wouldn't that be great?".
What if everything is bad in ACTA?It doesn't even tell me who "The Negotiators" are.
That's the point. "The Negotiators" are not known. ACTA has been negotiated in secret during the past few years. Withoout the control of the democratically elected parliaments or other institutions. Now the treaty is finalized and signed by some Countries. The other Countries now have a gun pressed against their head "sign it or you're out".
I can't say "No" to ACTA based on this video alone.
Of course you can't.
But maybe you can say no to ACTA based on this video + my comment + few other comments on this news, + on https://www.eff.org/issues/acta + https://www.laquadrature.net/en/acta + http://www.michaelgeist.ca/index.php?option=com_tags&task=view&tag=acta&Itemid=408 + http://www.fsf.org/campaigns/acta/why-acta-declaration + http://www.ffii.org/ + your own sources of information.

Re:My representative should know about this
You missed the irony cause you probably don't know who Christian Engström is.
That said, if your MEP is Christian Engström, maybe you could bother another one?
That's what I did for the telecoms package. I called a dozen of MEP. Of course, they are less receptive when you tell them you don't vote for them. But
1/you don't have to tell them (they tend to forget that they are paid to serve general interest and not just to make sure they will be reelected)
2/when they speak with lobbies, they are less peaky about where they're from and

Re:Angry Voters
From the translation of the Hadopi law (provided here: http://www.laquadrature.net/wiki/HADOPI_full_translation
"Art. L. 331-27. - When it is held that the subscriber has failed to recognize the obligation defined in article L 336-3 during the year following the reception of an injunction sent by the committee for protection of rights and accompanied by a receipted letter or any other method needed to establish proof of the date that the injunction was sent and that when the subscriber received it, the committee may, after a hearing, pronounce, as a result of the gravity of the violations and the use of access, one of the following sanctions:
"1 The suspension of access to service for a duration of two months to one year accompanied by making it impossible for the subscriber to subscribe during that period to another contract giving access to a public on line communication service with any operator;
"2 A warning to take, within a time it determines, measures to prevent the renewal of the accused violation, particularly a method of security found on the list defined in the second paragraph of article L. 331-32, and to inform the High Authority, if necessary under duress.
I heard somewhere that Item 2 hints at the possibility of putting some "Approved Software" on the subscribers' PC(s) which will monitor activity and stop the PC(s) infringing copyright. No doubt it would only run on Windows. However it is very hard to find any real information about this. The referenced article 331-32 looks like it might have some meat in it but alas no...
"Art. L. 331-32. - After consultating the creators of means of security intended to prevent illicit use of access to a public on line communication service, entities whose activity is to offer access to such a service, as well as companies governed by title II of this book and duly constituted professional societies, the High Authority makes public the functionally pertinent specifications presented by these means considered, in its view, as exonerating from responsibility the owners of such access under the conditions of article L. 336-3.
"In the course of a procedure of certified evaluation of their conformity to the specifications set forth in the first paragraph and their effectiveness, the High Authority establishes a list characterizing the methods of security whose use exonerates the owner of access of his responsibility with respect to article L. 336-3. This characterization is periodically reviewed.
"A decree of the Council of State specifies the evaluation procedure to characterize these methods of security.
Maybe the referenced Article L.336-3 will explain...
"Art. L. 336-3. - The owner of access to online public communication services has an obligation to watch that this access is not being used for purposes of reproduction, representation, making available or communication to the public of works or objects protected by right of authorship or a related right without permission of copyright holders when it is required as stated in books I and II.
"No sanction can be taken against the owner of the access in the following cases:
"1 If the owner of the access has secured his access through one of the means on the list mentioned in the second paragraph of article L. 331-32
;"2 If the rights infringement referred to in the first paragraph of this article is committed by a person who fraudulently used the access to online public communication service;
"3 In case of force majeure.
"The breaching of the obligation defined in the first paragraph by an access owner hasn't the effect of involving his penal reponsibility.
... and maybe not.
I also understand that the line remains in service and the subscriber is billed for it (unless she chooses to pay to terminate the connection) but only commercially
-
Re:I wonder
From the translation of the Hadopi law (provided here: http://www.laquadrature.net/wiki/HADOPI_full_translation )
"Art. L. 331-30. - The suspension of access mentioned in articles L. 331-27 and L. 331-28 does not, in itself, affect paying the price of subscription to the service provider. Article L. 121-84 of the consumer code does not apply during the period of suspension.
"The costs of a possible closure of the subscription during the period of suspension are born by the subscriber.
"The suspension applies only to access to public on line communication services and to electronic communications. When this access service is purchased as part of commercial composite services including other types of services, such as telephone or television services, the decision of suspension does not apply to these services.
... So I think the ISPs are covered. -
Re:7 links in the summary...

Re:EU membership
I dunno, man. Seems to me they're not all that far off.
Those legislations is based on EU directives, more then half of the governments in EU don't even want them (no one have asked the citizens of EU about them, but likely a majority don't want them either). Despite that most EU members don't want them, they are forced upon them because EU is not a democratic organisation.
Turkey far surpass that EU directive. But they are in their "right" to do so, as EU directives only states minimal requirements.

Re:I will do my civic duty and sign these petition
Nonetheless, to say these were contributed by EU countries is very much a stretch.
I think other posters hit the nail on the head when they say its more a representation of lobbying groups than countries.You can blame lobbying groups (I do too), but they are not in the room with the negotiating parties. The leaked draft text with country positions (available here) clearly indicates that this Option 2 comes from the EU party, so it's not at all a stretch to say that they've contributed it.
Also, even if that specific provision of ACTA is struck down after the fact by the EP, that's not going to make it disappear from the treaty, where it will still affect non-EU countries. I.e., if the EU proposal for this text makes it in, it's setting a precedent for the rest of the world.
If you're going to blame lobbying groups entirely for everything bad in ACTA, you may as well absolve the US government of all responsibility in this as well, since our negotiating party (the USTR) essentially parrots anything the IP industry says.

Telecom Deal Still Up for Grabs-3Strikes Possible!Reading up a bit, I stand corrected... its a pretty crappy deal. From Europe only goes half-way in protecting Internet rights
"However, the text only speaks of "a prior fair and impartial procedure" instead of a prior ruling by the judicial authorities, guaranteed by the original "amendment 138", and contains loopholes and ambiguities. The invalidation of freedom-killer measures such as "three strikes policies" will now depend on interpretation by the European Court of Justice and national courts. Moreover, the text only relates to measures taken by Member States and thereby fails to bar telecom operators and entertainment industries from knocking down the founding principle of Net neutrality."

Political Laundering...is one of the reasons it keeps happening.

Bad form to reply to own post, but I just saw this related news item at http://www.laquadrature.net/en
URGENT: Two days to help Catherine Trautmann protect EU citizens.
Paris, April 20th 2009 - The Council of the EU is strongly pushing Catherine Trautmann - rapporteur of the main directives of the "Telecoms Package" - to accept a useless, neutralized version[1] of amendment 138. This amendment, opposing to "graduated response - or "three strikes" â" schemes, has been overwhelmingly adopted by the European Parliament in its first reading on September 2008, and is crucial for safeguarding EU citizens' rights and freedoms. La Quadrature du Net calls European citizens to urge their MEPs seating in ITRE committee to support the rapporteur by refusing any compromise neutralizing amendment 138 (now renumbered 46) on April 21st vote.[1] The Council wants to make it a merely indicative recital instead of an article that Member States must transpose into their law
