ACTA Document Leaks With Details On Mexico Talks

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the tinfoil-hat-engaged dept.

An anonymous reader writes "A brief report from the European Commission authored by Pedro Velasco Martins (an EU negotiator) on the most recent round of ACTA negotiations in Guadalajara, Mexico has leaked, providing new information on the substance of the talks, how countries are addressing the transparency concerns, and plans for future negotiations. The document notes that governments are planning a counter-offensive to rebut claims of iPod-searching border guards and mandatory three-strikes policies."

  1. Three strikes policies? by Monkeedude1212 · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Man, that buzzword just keeps coming up. Can you imagine if baseball was based around 4 strikes instead of 3?

  2. They are "committed to conclude ACTA in 2010" by phypsilon · · Score: 3, Interesting

    The document is very sparse on details. They seem to be negotiating four topics:
    1. civil enforcements
    2. customs
    3. internet
    4. transparency (wtf??)

    But the most interesting quote is: "Parties remain committed to conclude ACTA in 2010."
