I love the start of this story.
“Negotiators, under intense pressure from media companies, luxury brands and other corporate victims of piracy, are scrambling to complete a so-called Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement by the end of the year.”
Shouldn’t they be under intense pressure for the governments to who they supposedly report and supposedly work for rather than the media companies?

So you see. It is all really the same in the end.
