You want an Anti-ACTA Song That's Rhythmic and Retro? Check This Out!

ACTA is so infamous, I've taken a very famous song of the 70s and transplanted my own anti-ACTA lyrics to it. The original song is called "Video Killed the Radio Star" (© Buggles, 1979) and was the first MTV video. My remake is called "ACTA Will Kill the Internet" and fills some instrumental chords with lyrics - to emphasize the importance of the internet users.

Passages sung in the background are marked with brackets and comments with "<" and ">".
Have fun singing along! ^^

Lyrics - ACTA Will Kill the Internet
You wonder what would ACTA really mean for you?
Censoring Twitter, weblogs, Facebook and YouTube,
or killing half of them right along when ratified. <= approved>
(Oh no-o!)

Free speech is gone - be critical and you are blocked.
And of course, if you download only one song;
your internet connection's cut off, no-one told.
(Oh no-o!)

There's more to tell ya!
(So, so-o?)
I've got to tell ya:

ACTA will kill the internet <2x>

My Mac's screen, it will stay black
(Fo-or goo-ood)

The US blocked MegaUpload already -
and closing Wikipedia is on the way!

I couldn't go on constructing my Romance!
<i.e. Lingua Communa Romanica - Common Romance Language>
(Shall not happen!)

Digital Natives!
(Oh yeah!)
Stand up and protest!

Tim Cook won't come and save us with another Macintosh! <reference to the "1984" commercial>
(Orwell's "1984" - I fear it will come)

<instrumental interplay>
<electric guitar> SCREW THAT GOD-DAMN ACTA!
ACTA will kill the internet! <2x>
Middle Ages 2.0 we are just ahead of you! New Latin is on the way, EMI, GEMA will be blamed!

<quiet> (ACTA will kill our liberal internet; ACTA will murder our Information Age!)
ACTA will kill the internet <4x>
(Jo-in a demonstration!)
(Si-gn a petition!)
(Get your government to know!)
(So that ACTA will be stopped!) <fadeout>

Any other news?

Of course: Apple has released a developer preview of their next Macintosh operating system, OS X 10.8 "Mountain Lion", which is integrating iOS features further. Also, apps like iCal, iChat and Address Book will be renamed to match their iOS counterparts!

But sadly, a bunch of Macs won't be able to run it - white "polycarbonate" iMacs (Intel Core2 Duo) for example.

I'm excited what more new features it will have. Likely, it will be released in summer in the Mac App Store only.

Stay hungry, foolish and tuned!
