This is the copyright treaty that was being discussed in secret, and both Bush and "Hope 'n Change" Obama tried their hardest to prevent the public from seeing. At the same time, companies of the copyright cartel were in on the negotiations, but rights groups were locked out.
This will be presented to us fait accompli. As a treaty, it will be considered to override the Constitution, and it will destroy our basis for copyright as allowed in the Constitution.

So, just “accusing” a person or organization is enough for “punishment”? That’s denial of Due Process.........................

It also went on in the Clinton administration.

Enjoy the internet while you can. Won’t be long. :(

LOL. This will only affect the law-abiding. At the end of the day, porn sites and spammers will still fill up your emailbox and the Chinese will be selling bootleg copies of every book and movie produced—ever in history.

I have come to the conclusion that intellectual property law is so corrupt that ‘piracy’ is almost a justifiable act of civil disobedience. It anything like the proposed treaty comes into force, ‘piracy’ *will* be justifiable civil disobedience.

A little more has come out:
http://www.michaelgeist.ca/content/view/4575/125/
The European Commission analysis of ACTA's Internet chapter has leaked, indicating that the U.S. is seeking to push laws that extend beyond the WIPO Internet treaties and beyond current European Union law (the EC posted the existence of the document last week but refused to make it publicly available). The document contains detailed comments on the U.S. proposal, confirming the U.S. desire to promote a three-strikes and you're out policy, a Global DMCA, harmonized contributory copyright infringement rules, and the establishment of an international notice-and-takedown policy.
Leaked document - get it while it's still available.
That article is from a Canadian viewpoint, but it's pretty damning of what Obama's administration is pushing.
It's scary to think how easy things like this could be used to take a site like Free Republic offline. All of the images, videos, etc., that get posted here could be easily used to not only harm Free Republic, but to go after freepers.

I can remember back a little over a year ago when New World Order, One World Government threads were deemed to be tinfoil hat.
Obama is just pushing it along. Copenhagen will be another meeting to sellout the US.
Not so tinfoil hat anymore as we watch it happening.
