Found something close.

Quote:
The Internet is one of the last bastions of the free flow of information in our evolving information society, and one that is capable of connecting us all. Through the Internet, all the people of the world have access to information. When we all have access to information, we are strong. When we are strong, we posses the power to do the impossible--to make a difference, to better our world. This is why the government is moving on Wikileaks. This is what they fear. They fear our power when we unite. Please, do not forget this.

This video also handles the situation in a rather intelligent manner.


So really, the only way they're going to appear uneducated, millitant, and massively douchey going down the road they're going is if the major news networks distort their image into that sort of thing, or if people only listen to one side of the argument. Though the video DOES take a decidedly militant tone, it still presents some decently reasonable points, and seems to go through the points logically.

Young Turks discussed it too.

Not to mention ACTA, which is an international trade agreement. It'll hit across a lot of the westernized world. here's an article on it.
