ACTA Doesn't Distinguish Counterfeiting from Sharing

Worse, the agreement spans virtually all of the countries in the developed world, including all of the EU, the United States, Switzerland and Japan.

Many of these countries have already signed or ratified it, and the cogs are still turning, with the final real fight playing out in the EU parliament.



Watch hacker group Anonymous's video on it. MUCH more informative
