EU Commission: CETA 'Totally Different From ACTA'

itwbennett writes "Slashdot readers will remember the hullaballoo that arose yesterday over a leaked version of CETA containing key clauses that were 'nearly identical to ones found in ACTA.' Now the European Commission is saying you shouldn't believe every leak you see and that the 'language being negotiated on CETA regarding Internet is now totally different from ACTA.' Well, maybe with the exception of language that appears in both CETA and ACTA but didn't 'originate' in ACTA and therefore doesn't count."

Not necessarily, but CETA are endangered. They may call upon PETA to protect CETA.

'Mother should I trust the government?'
Pink Floyd was soooo right.

So the wording has been copy-and-pasted?

[Laglorden]

So, the wording that appears in both documents have been copy-and-pasted from somewhere else?

Sorry, I mean, the words have been STOLEN from another source, those filthy filthy pirates!!!

That carries a ten-year jail sentence in Sweden.
