ACTA in a Nutshell –
What is ACTA? ACTA is the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement. A new intellectual property enforcement treaty being negotiated by the United States, the European Community, Switzerland, and Japan, with Australia, the Republic of Korea, New Zealand, Mexico, Jordan, Morocco, Singapore, the United Arab Emirates, and Canada recently announcing that they will join in as well.
Why should you care about ACTA? Initial reports indicate that the treaty will have a very broad scope and will involve new tools targeting “Internet distribution and information technology.”
What is the goal of ACTA? Reportedly the goal is to create new legal standards of intellectual property enforcement, as well as increased international cooperation, an example of which would be an increase in information sharing between signatory countries’ law enforcement agencies.
Essential ACTA Resources -
Say NO to ACTA. It is essential to spread awareness and get the word out on ACTA.

The Ties That Bind was probably one of the weaker Vampire Diaries episodes in a long time. Granted that I'm mostly bored with any other story line other than Tyler and Caroline's, BUT I do love like the show as a whole in most cases. It was just this particular episode reminded me of By The Light Of The Moon in a sense that other than Tyler and Caroline's B story line, the rest of the episode was pretty much a lack luster. Shipper bias? Maybe, but I really wasn't enthralled by any other the other characters in this episode.
