As the ACTA story begins to capture mainstream media attention (front page of the Ottawa Citizen, coverage from the Washington Post, NZ Herald, the Atlantic, Wired), the press release from the now-concluded Seoul talks should be released shortly [update: release out, exactly as predicted]. If the past releases are any indication, it will thank the Korean government and blandly describe the talks on Internet and criminal provisions. More informative is the actual document that served as the basis for my postings earlier this week. It is embedded below (direct PDF download).

... Just hope this leak does not result in a take down. (Oh the irony!) I dislike having SCRIBED polluting google search results... |
|
... Sadly Canada is showing no signs of backing down on this out of touch with reality written piece of garbage. |

The Burning of the Library of Alexandria Should we let todays crazymaniacs to "burn" the Internet, world greatest archive of knowledge, like yesterday crazymaniacs was doing with the great library in Alexandria!? http://ehistory.osu.edu/world/articles/ArticleView.cfm?AID=9 |

...it's worse! They can make the actual law itself a protected copyrighted document! Think I'm joking?? See this Slashdot article: [Title: Is Law Copyrighted?] http://slashdot.org/yro/01/05/13/1921223.shtml So they can simply make everyone an 'unauthorized person', unable legally to view the actual text of the enacted law. Which actually happened when someone outside the U.S. found an exploit and slapped the DMCA on it, making it illegal for anyone in the U.S. to read it. |

End of Internet Thanks for this post! It seems like ACTA will put an end to Internet and free speach. The US government makes hte wave as the last fascist regim in the western world. USA as the land of the frees is a total joke! |

a question about the ottawa citizen article... okay, so the ottawa citizen article said that it only requires a minister's signature to pass ACTA into law. does Parliament not have to ratify it? i understand that under a majority government it would be a technicality, unless more backbenchers than i would expect stood on principle to vote it down, but we currently have a minority parliament and i could see the bloc and ndp standing against it, at least. further, how on earth would the signing of the treaty usher the criminal provisions into law? or even the civil provisions? suits and criminal cases all have to be pursued under an act of parliament... you can't exactly charge someone under the anti-counterfeiting trade agreement, after all. it seems to me that after signing ACTA the government would then have to amend the copyright act, which would require three readings as well as a committee process with massive consultations as the opposition takes full advantage to rally to them the vote of everyone who's ever downloaded music, which is pretty much every single person under 40. so we wouldn't see acta provisions in place in canada until 2011, probably, assuming a 2010 treaty signing. or am i off about this? |

Law not copyrightable in the U.S. @ "...it's worse! They can make the actual law itself a protected copyrighted document! Think I'm joking?? See this Slashdot article: [Title: Is Law Copyrighted?] http://slashdot.org/yro/01/05/13/1921223.shtml " The U.S. District Court decision referred to in the Slashdot article was later reversed on appeal. Veeck v. Southern Building Code Congress International, Inc., 293 F.3d 791 (5th Cir. 2004 en banc), http://cases.justia.com/us-cou...1/521953/, cert. den., 123 S.Ct. 2636, 156 L.Ed.2d 674. The Supreme Court has never ruled directly on that issue. But there is a very large body of case law in the U.S. holding that copying of law is not subject to copyright infringement claims. |

Backfire If the rise of the free & open knowledge society brought about the beginning of increased awareness, the fall of free & open knowledge will finish the job. They will cause a worldwide conflagration of awareness because people recognize the value of free & open information! Bring it on, ACTA! |
