What Is ACTA ?

ACTA - 'The Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement' is a proposed plurilateral agreement for the purpose of establishing international standards on intellectual property rights enforcement.

ACTA would establish a new international legal framework that would create its "own governing body outside existing international institutions" such as - the World Trade Organization (WTO), the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) or the United Nations.


An open letter signed by many organizations, including Consumers International, EDRi (27 European civil rights and privacy NGOs), the Free Software Foundation (FSF), the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), ASIC (French trade association for web 2.0 companies), and the Free Knowledge Institute (FKI), states that "the current draft of ACTA would profoundly restrict the fundamental rights and freedoms of European citizens, most notably the freedom of expression and communication privacy."

[UPDATE] - It seems, SOPA and PIPA were just distractions! while they signed a copyright treaty "ACTA" behind the curtain...

US, Australia, Japan, Switzerland, and many EU nations have already signed this secret censorship pact last year in 2011.
The Recent country to join the list is - Poland.

Good thing it's over

This same thing has been implemented into the copyright law here in Norway.

Damn entertainment business people probably bribed the shitty politicians who votes yes on it.

So now the stupid entertainment people can spy on the people who actually bought their productions, if they suspect that they are pirating it.

Stupid people, digging their own grave. Do they really think that people will keep buying their stuff when they decide to spy on the people?! Pretty sure the sales will go down for them.

The worst thing is we have a very bad chance of winning. The government is corrupt. They don't care about us. They don't care about our opinion. All they care about is POWER and MONEY and CONTROL. They want to control everything. They want to control US as much as possible. Will we win? Not likely. I am against it 100% but I don't know if we can stop it. BUT WE MUST TRY!!!!!!!!!

Acta is truly the worst idea ever, stop it.

Our freedom of speech protects our rights to share. There is a fine line between pirating and sharing

[Reihana Wybrow]

Under ACTA laws, wouldn't cooking shows on free TV be fined or banned for teaching people recipes without payment?
