ACTA Text Leaks; US Caves On ISPs, Seeks Super-DMCA

An anonymous reader writes "Given the history of ACTA leaks, to no one's surprise, the latest version of the draft agreement (PDF) was leaked last night on KEI's website. The new version — which reflects changes made during an intense week of negotiations last month in Washington — shows a draft agreement that is much closer to becoming reality. Perhaps the most important story of the latest draft is how the countries are close to agreement on the Internet enforcement chapter. In the face of opposition, the US has dropped its demands on secondary liability for ISPs but is still holding out hope of establishing a super-DMCA with digital lock rules that go beyond the WIPO Internet treaties and were even rejected by US courts."

YOU VOTED FOR THIS

[Lawrence_Bird]

You voted for this crap (slashdot is overwhelmingly democrat). It started with Clinton and DMCA and now you have OBAMA ("transparent", "change you can believe in") doing this crap (and behind closed doors to boot). Bend over and say again how much you love getting fucked by your boys.

There is ZERO push back against this. None. No press. No protests. No letter writing. Zero. It will become law unless you take your head out of the sand and say something anywhere but slashdot.
