Congressman Mike Doyle on ACTA: "The USTR has communicated to me that ACTA won’t cement current provisions in the Digital Millennium Copyright Act – provisions that I’d like to see changed, like the anti-circumvention provision. And they’ve said that ACTA won’t require Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to become “copyright cops” above current law. "

baaah
Exactly. How “aboot” some transparency?
All talk no show. One lie after another.
Maybe Mike Doyle found the o-ring in Iraq as well (big smoking gun)?
Rep. Doyle might believe the USTR…
…or perhaps is simply reporting what they told him, whether he believes a word of it or not. One hopes that he will maintain the vigilance he promises.
