EU ACTA Doc Shows Plans For Global DMCA, 3 Strikes

An anonymous reader writes "The European Commission analysis of ACTA's Internet chapter has leaked, indicating that the US is seeking to push laws that extend beyond the WIPO Internet treaties and beyond current European Union law. The document contains detailed comments on the US secret copyright treaty proposal, confirming the desire to promote a 'three-strikes and you're out' policy, a Global DMCA, harmonized contributory copyright infringement rules, and the establishment of an international notice-and-takedown policy."

Exactly. Under US Law, a Treaty has nearly the power of a Constitutional Amendment, but none of the checks and balances

Fixed that for myself.
