Hi, hon! *dorky waves*

Great news indeed, thanks so much for sharing :D

Which of these acts is the one that will make internet providers monitor your account for illegal downloads starting July 12?

[crowdaughter]

Hu? I don't know. Probably CISPA, but I thought it has not completely passed legislation yet. There have been some attempts to get Internet providers to monitor their customers for illegal downloads by private agreements, and as far as I remember (not very clearly, though), some of them in the USA agreed to do that, already; but I would have to look through the blogs I frequently read (like FEFE's) to find the reference again.

And the protests on the street! ;D

[spiced_wine]

Yes, I am not forgetting - those were more important than anything, as people tend to take notice when they see bodies actually out in the streets!

Oh, Asilynn, I watched the video. You look gorgeous, and so chique in that hat. Was that when that brutally cold weather was over Europe?

Brava! {{{Hugs!!!}}}
