US PLOTS "PIRATE BAY KILLER" MULTI-LATERAL TRADE AGREEMENT
Wikileaks has revealed that the United States is plotting a "Pirate
Bay killing" multi-lateral trade agreement with the EU, Japan,
Canada, Mexico, Switzerland and New Zealand. The proposal includes
clauses designed to criminalize the non-profit facilitation of
copyrighted information exchange on the internet, which would also
affect transparency sites such as Wikileaks.
The Wikileaks document details provisions that would impose strict
enforcement of intellectual property rights related to Internet
activity and trade in information-based goods. If adopted, the
treaty would impose a strong, top-down enforcement regime imposing
new cooperation requirements upon internet service providers,
including perfunctory disclosure of customer information, as well
as measures restricting the use of online privacy tools.
See

and
http://ipjustice.org/wp/2008/05/22/leaked-us-govt-discussion-paper-on-proposed-anti-counterfeiting-trade-agreement-acta-from-wikileaks/
for further detail. |
Thanks for the information weepingwillow! This doesn't surprise me at all. The global elitists will do whatever they can get away with and more, to scam the people out of their rights to privacy! |
