we need a revolution

I still haven't fully switched over to completely free computing yet. I know I should but part of me loves the convenience I have with certain proprietary systems. I know this is wrong. I know I need to fight harder to support freedom.

Constantly, in todays world, governments and organizations are trying to restrict our freedoms more and more.
Apathy will be our downfall.
Not enough people seem to care. Not enough people take the time to educate themselves to what is going on all around them. How many people even know about ACTA? We let our freedoms be taken away one by one, little by little.
Unfortunately, once they are gone, it's significantly more difficult to get them back.
The more I see, the more I am convinced that we have to do SOMETHING. We have to fight to protect our rights, our freedoms.
We have to rise up and unite in our cause. The enemy has incredible resources. They have armies/police/security guards. They have vicious attack lawyers. They have seemingly unlimited funds.
We can't let that stop us.
There are those who would argue that freedom of speech is wrong because it would be abused. If you don't like what you hear, don't listen to it. Just because you fear what someone might say, that is no reason to tell people they can't say it.
Censorship is wrong.
If I pay for a CD, I WILL NOT let some industry assholes tell me that I am wrong to transfer it to my computer and to my music player. If I am going to pay money for something and I will not be allowed to own it, to actually use and enjoy it, why will I waste my money? Where is the logic there?
I'm not going to buy a cd to keep in my car and a cd to keep at home.
And I am not going to keep quiet.
The corporations think they are 'right'. They claim to have the moral high ground. They don't. All they are is bullies, trying to control consumers through threats and fear.
It seems like these days, everyone is a criminal. I heard about "[a] method of providing air travel security for passengers traveling via an aircraft comprises situating a remotely activatable electric shock device on each of the passengers in position to deliver a disabling electrical shock when activated." You know they won't stop there. They'll use that as a test, phase the device in. And then require it for more and more things. Until the entire populace is under control. Wearing something like that completely demeaning. It also says "hi I am a criminal and will be treated as such."
Governments would argue that the threat of terror is enough to warrant such a device. They have done it before (see the PATRIOT act for just one of many examples of this) and they will do it again. If we let them.

How can we just stand by and let this happen?
Does the constitution mean nothing anymore?

Something HAS to be done.
I have no idea what CAN be done at this point.
