Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA)
This seems very broad in scope
But we don't have access to any documents as yet, just leaks.
The idea of a treaty is it circumvents passing unpopular laws, so its eaiser for the govt. to say, look its illegal cause we signed this intl. treaty as no public involvement is required. Don't blame us we did not make this law. But treaties are just as valid as any law passed.
Thing is how do they enforce it ?
Impose penalties on any country that wants to trade with the US for non-compliance. Which means only countries that trade heavily with the US have an interest to sign it. This will create loopholes out of countries that do not sign. In any case its a voluntary opt-in.

ACTA Negotiations – US-EU Divide Being Settled, Text Being Finalized
So Much For Transparency: Latest ACTA Draft Won't Be Released | Techdirt
Countries want anti-counterfeit trade deal in September | Reuters
Negotiators from the United States, the European Union and nine other countries said on Friday they planned to finish work in September on a proposed pact to crack down on trade in counterfeit and pirated goods.
The countries also pledged to publicly release the final text of the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement, which has raised concerns among Internet and digital rights advocates, "before deciding to sign it."
India agasint ACTA but it not about p2p
India launches offensive against ACTA, cites "due process"
India vows to sabotage ACTA
Fed up with the controversial Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA), India hopes to whip up an anti-ACTA chutney so spicy that negotiators have no choice but to purge every trace of the loathed agreement from their systems.
Though countries like Morocco are involved, rich countries have driven the ACTA process. The World Trade Organization—ignored. The World Intellectual Property Organization—bypassed. Instead of using the very fora that they played such a role in establishing, countries like the US, EU, Canada, Japan, and Australia formed a coalition of the willing. ACTA has been negotiated in secret, though the recently released negotiating draft text envisions a permanent secretariat that will receive new members.
In other words, existing international institutions, where countries like Brazil, China, and India have recently acquired some real power, will be bypassed to create the tough new restrictions in ACTA.
I hope our govt dosent cower down and pulls up a fight.THe recent copyright act might be secretly amended.
mgcarly plz give us your inputs
