“Our free screen-print workshop has taught artists how to print their art on t-shirts, art-patches and other objects since 1992”
1,000+ people protested against the Government's controversial proposed Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill at Devonshire Green in Sheffield.
The proposed Bill includes proposals that would give police and the Home Secretary increased powers to stop protests on grounds of “serious annoyance or inconvenience” which if you’re a government minister could mean all of them.
It’s a serious erosion of civil liberties and democratic rights.

18.366: (Edit: 1/19/2012, photo renamed from "Anti-Censorship (Anti SOPA/PIPA)") Today, the Internet community is standing together to speak against the proposed bills making their way through the United States Congress, which will have global ramifications by enabling the justice department to shut down and censor websites without due process. The proposed law is far reaching and will have an impact on the Internet that we know today, the free flow of information and thought will be impacted.

Nach Angaben der Veranstalter nehmen rund 40.000 Menschen am 23.03.2019 an einer Demonstration durch Berlins Mitte gegen die geplante Reform des Urheberrechts auf europäischer Ebene teil.
Der Demonstrationszug passiert auf seiner Route den Sitz von Wikimedia ebenso, wie die Bundeszentrale der SPD. Aufgrund der großen Teilnehmerzahl muss die Strecke verlängert werden und endet nun am Brandenburger Tor, nachdem sie die Vertretung der Europäischen Kommission passiert hat.
Hauptkritikpunkt ist der der geplante Artikel 13 der Reform, der Internetanbieter verpflichtet, urheberrechtlich geschützte, nicht lizensierte Inhalte zu entfernen. Die Protestierenden befürchten, dass dies mittels Uploadfiltern geschieht, die einerseits technich unvollkommen sind, andererseits auch gezielt zur Zensur von Inhalten genutzt werden könnnten.
Zeitgleich finden in zahlreichen Städten in Europa vergleichbare Proteste statt.

Criticising the President no Laughing Matter
By Cam McGrath
CAIRO, Jan 18, 2013 (IPS) – Egyptians love to have a good laugh. At every opportunity they rattle off jokes and take jabs at themselves, their society, and – where they dare – their ruler.
