Unpacking the Secrets of ACTA

An anonymous reader writes "As negotiations in the 7th round of the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement talks continue this week in Mexico, Michael Geist has been posting a comprehensive guide to the secret copyright treaty. He started with a review of the substance of the treaty, then posted links to all the leaked documentation, and has now unpacked the secrecy associated with the talks, including why governments have made it secret, the public concern, and why this isn't business as usual."

    Really? I would say there definitely is a "niche market" for cars. Electric roadsters? High end luxury vehicles?

    Yeah, because that REALLY negates his entire point, you jackass. So tell me, how well are those electric roadsters doing on the marketplace? If you sit in a big city and note the make/model of every car that drives by, do you think you'll see a single one? I know you think you're being cute or clever or something but you're contributing nothing useful to the discussion. Truth hurts, so call me Flamebait or Troll and mod me down now.
