Secret Copyright Treaty Leaks. It's Bad. Very Bad.

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the you-gotta-be-kidding-me dept.

Jamie found a Boing Boing story that will probably get your blood to at least a simmer. It says "The internet chapter of the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement, a secret copyright treaty whose text Obama's administration refused to disclose due to 'national security' concerns, has leaked. It's bad." You can read the original leaked document or the summary. If passed, the internet will never be the same. Thank goodness it's hidden from public scrutiny for National Security.

    The summary that is. Was it really too difficult to put a little information about what it is and why it's bad in the summary so I don't have to follow the links?

    Too specific.

    Let's make Wal-Mart liable for killing people by selling knifes to murderers.

    Wikileaks has it. This is not exactly new news - it's been available (and worrying) for awhile.
