WIPO Music Control Treaty Ratified

Greyfox writes: "Here's one that slipped through the cracks. The WIPO (You know, that unelected, unaccountable organization that lives in the Corporate back pockets) has ratified a anti-music piracy treaty which will go into effect on May 20. It apparently has anti-circumvention measures similar to the DMCA and will carry the force of law in the USA and other member countries." We had a more informative story about these two treaties a few months ago. The only new information is that the Phonograms and Performances Treaty now has enough signatures to go into effect in May.

Anti-Music?

"...has ratified a anti-music piracy treaty"

I assume you meant "anti-music-piracy" or "anti music-piracy" but I like your version better. ;-)
Seems like all these damned laws are anti-music.
