SQUID HACK
Gee, not using ZH to promote your lame website??? A two word comment without a link?
Wow, awesome job.

The offshore blues. And one day while reflecting on the overall experience you will look back and realize how utterly unnecessary going offshore was.
DMCA
What does ZH publish that violates DMCA or WIPO? A lot of extra work for not.
Anyway DMCA take down notices are fun to get aren't they? It let's you know that you are doing something good. An attorney can argue that your eyes didn't read that take down notice for a full 24 hours after the defendants claim that he/she sent it to you...

Tyler and Maria:
we really appreciate all your efforts. Great site!!!
Yes thanks to whoever for the early morning TLC.
TD,
With the traffic your site get's I am surprised it's not worse.
Thanks for a great site, hope your still working on a way to help contribute(besides Suck Pal),so you can get larger servers.
Considering the traffic, this is an excellent, easy site to satisfactorly access. You provide posters with all sorts of formatting help and you even post "cool" busy pictures.
Microsoft should hire the Zero Hedge site keepers to consult on their Godawful software support.
Zero Hedge not only "Rocks" but is also one hope for the Republic.
Thanks for what you are doing!

That stance is very significant as the EU and U.S. governments, at the behest of copyright holders in the music and video industry, are pushing a treaty called ACTA which allows its member states to adopt not only fines, but prison time for those who fileshare.
Details of the plan to criminalize filesharing just leaked thanks to a citizen advocacy group La Quadrature du Net. The document, found here [PDF], is entitled "ACTA Chapter 2 Criminal Provisions".
The new proposal would criminalize "infringements that have no direct or indirect motivation of financial gain" -- which currently would be considered a petty civil offense in most countries. The language about criminalization states "each party shall provide for effective proportionate and dissuasive penalties" to include "imprisonment and monetary fines".
Britain's decision to back down from supporting the most-extreme U.S. and EU proposed copyright enforcement measures is a blow to these governments and the corporate lobbyists that support them. Under the Obama and George W. Bush administrations, the U.S. secretly brokered the ACTA treaty without informing the general public. The EU similarly cooperated in secret negotiations.
...
Jérémie Zimmermann, spokesperson for La Quadrature du Net comments, "The ACTA agreement, by its opacity and undemocratic nature, allows criminal sanctions to be simply negotiated. The leaked document shows that the EU Member States are willing to impose prison sanctions for non-commercial usages of copyrighted works on the Internet as well as for ‘inciting and aiding’, a notion so broad that it could cover any Internet service or speech questioning copyright policies."
Previously published materials on the ACTA bill also reveal that it creates a new kind of crime called "imminent infringement" -- which could bring punishment to those who haven't even infringed. An example of such a thought-crime would be if you searched "torrent daft punk" in Google. The U.S. and copyright holders argue that if it can be shown you were thinking about committing piracy you've as much as committed a crime already.
