Do a google on SOPA and educate yourself, doesn't matter if you're a UK citizen or not.

Even for non US Forums, it can affect any Forum, that has Users on it, that are from the USA. Also you should think, that people who buy a Forum legal, and have one, also inform them self about such things (and even more if they Code, since it can directly affect business, unless you don't do any business with people from USA).

agreed with that
but i dont seem how it affects a forum, yes you can sell from your forum if you have integrated shop mods like i do
also the mention of legal forums, well you cant download this mod unless you have a license anyways

i would of places this in an index.htm file on the root of my domain
not the forum itself as people could have this as youdomain.com/forum
then this mod would not help the domain root unless your forum is installed on the root of the domain

This is why i said this mod doesnt reallt benefit people who have their forum in a subdomain / folder as it only protects the forum content

Any chance of similar for ACTA?

ACTA, I understand, has recently been voted in Poland without notifying it's people. Surprise, surprise.

ACTA seems even worse in some ways and they seem to have waited until we were all concentrating on SOPA before half of Europe signed on to the damn thing.

Still, I'm not even sure what I could have done as an American. I wrote all my representatives on SOPA, but on ACTA I'm clueless.

[Raeven]

For ACTA similar things could be done (same protests). But as far as I am informed, I haven't heard of any Date for that yet.
Also even since half Europe has signed it, ACTA still has to pass as bill for EU right (since else ACTA is colliding with other laws).

And could you explain your idea for an Mod (assuming you mean one general for ACTA PIPA and co in general) a bit more, maybe i can put something simple together.
