I do not know much of this stuff as usual, only see lot of hipsters, hippies and usual suspects around protesting against ACTA or a multi-national agreement for the purpose of establishing international standards for intellectual property rights enforcement.
Is it really threats to freedom and fundamental human rights, :-[ or just method of musicians, game and software developers to earn some extra money?
Is it interesting that even this site might be under ACTA attack due streams, links to cycling torrents, torrents etc. which sucks, or I am wrong and this is legal?

"Hard cases make bad law" they used to tell us. ACTA is wrong but it will not be the last of its kind.
Here's the official line on it:

It is very hard for the owner of a forum to completely monitor the site and make sure that the members dont post links to streams or bittorrent sites. Pretty much impossible, i just dont have the time, nor do the staff.
Forum owners are ultimately responsible, but its also very hard to make a forum owner liable for the postings of its members. For instance, the livestream thread was created by admin, but lets say, the livestream thread was posted by a random poster with an african ip address, my responsibility would be to ban that user (and another would just come along ;)) and supply the authorities with their ip address. :D

Several sites have already had emails from eurosport asking them to decist from putting links to youtube videos up. Barking at the wrong tree really, they need to be talking to youtube who are one of biggest breakers of copyright law outside of google.
