8:10 pm
a better or option i think what your first point is the much like greek economy thing is a shrinking the economy you want to buy percent this year. think about what that means for a country already on the brink of you know social not necessarily collapse but definitely definitely instability and economic not through it but certainly you know it's certainly not growing in things certainly aren't getting better i decrease of more to five percent of growth combined with us gerrity measures combined the political pressures of the european union will definitely just to have disrupt raise significantly in two thousand and twelve. thousands of hundreds rather thousands have run across europe against international and to parse a chord known as people in the u.k. germany poland and lithuania her voice that fear that the treaty would hold freedom of speech and lead to a line censorship of his lawyer says possible home london for us. in line with hundreds of thousands of people all over europe today these people here in london

8:12 pm
will reduce freedom of speech this will stop us from being able to comment to hold people to crank the results of the treaty is incredibly dangerous one of the main complaints about this document is it's unclear wording that it would be easy to make an intentional copyright infringement minutely liable and to criminalize what used to be a civil offense to that means we see a lot more cases tenchi like the one of a minister beaten with a new shared twenty four songs on the internet and found herself liable for one in a half a million dollars worth of damage and eventually sixty two thousand five hundred dollars to each song that she had. yes and the threat was to borg and since the threat to silence it's the threat to internet service providers your experience a few chub of facebook a flicker could become very different but it's also felt even innocently collected into copyrighted material could actually learn in crew with criminal sanctions
