Wikileaks Releases ACTA Negotiations As "0-Day"

Posted by kdawson on from the frictionless-information-flow dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Wikileaks has released a new document about the ACTA negotiations occurring in Washington over the next three days. This might be the shortest time between authorship of a document and its publication on Wikileaks so far. The brief 3-page memo, dated today, could add quite a bit of oil to the fire of the ACTA debate. It is titled Business Perspectives on Border Measures and Civil Enforcement and it contains a set of proposals to the 'ACTA negotiators' issued by 'Concerned business groups operating in ACTA nations.' Among many highly invasive methods and approaches proposed in this memorandum, the reader can find detailed demands for: full disclosure of relevant information by Customs to trademark holders so that they can mount private investigations; disclosure of identities and other information about copyright infringers; and increased inspection of goods. This document is especially important to raise public awareness on these negotiations and their implications for the future." We've been watching ACTA develop for a few months now.

      WTF?! I literally cried with laughter when reading that post. It's the funniest thing on Slashdot, since the discovery of how Natalie Portman and hot grits go well together.

      If you haven't got the imagination to think of a giant necrotic dog penis, looming outside a shopping centre, you're no business moderating on Slashdot. Full stop.
