Making Sense of ACTA

Hodejo1 writes "This past week Guadalajara, Mexico hosted the 7th secret meeting of ACTA proponents who continue to ignore demands worldwide to open the debate to the public. Piecing together official and leaked documents from various global sources, Michael Geist has coalesced it all into a five part ACTA Guide that offers structured insight into what these talks might foist upon the populace at large. 'Questions about ACTA typically follow a familiar pattern — what is it (Part One of the ACTA Guide listing the timeline of talks), do you have evidence (Part Two), why is this secret (Part Three), followed by what would ACTA do to my country's laws (Part Four)? Countering the momentum behind ACTA will require many to speak out" (Part Five).'"

    In Soviet Russia, ACTA fucks you. Oh, also in Europe and the US.

    Maybe there should be an amendment to the constitution:
    "The gut feelings of people posting on Slashdot always overrule the congress."
    Well, maybe we should exclude low-scored postings.
