Rep. Darrell Issa Requests Public Comments On ACTA
langelgjm writes "After repeated dismissals by the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative, Congressman Darrell Issa has taken matters into his own hands by posting a copy of ACTA online and asking for public comments. ACTA, the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement, is a secretly negotiated multilateral trade treaty with the potential for profoundly affecting the Internet. 'ACTA represents as great a threat to an open Internet as [do] SOPA and PIPA and was drafted with even less transparency and input from digital citizens,' Issa said."
Issa makes me crazy. On one hand he has been a stident advocate against these IP related causes. But on the same hand, I want to shake the guy because of his almost bizzarre social conservative stance on "Religious Freedoms" and the whole Sandra Fluke thing.
