Australia To Adopt U.S.-Style Copyright Laws
An anonymous reader submits "Australia has just announced that it has finalized a Free Trade Agreement with the United States. Included in the treaty is an agreement for Australia to implement American-style DMCA copyright laws, extensions to the term of copyright, and an agreement to move towards American-style patent and trademark laws (and we all know how well those work, don't we.) I suppose this is the misery-loves-company school of treaty negotiation."

The American Bill of Rights was also inherited from English Law. I've heard of Americans making pilgrimages to England to see the original.

The EU started out as a free-trade agreement, now it has power over member states, and soon it will have a president and will be a fully-fledged federal govt.
It's a trap, but a trap the countries are too stupid to realise.
