What if you bought the software, and since you weren't presented with the license before sale, try to sell it after not agreeing to the license and not installing it on your computers?
If/When ACTA passes, I might as well live in Cuba for all I'll be able to do. Just the act of loading a web page will become infringing (hyperbole right now for sure, but probably not too exaggerated to be out of the realm of possibility in the near future).
What is this "chance to defeat ACTA" of which you speak? The process has been specifically designed to keep us excluded it's too far along to change.
At this point, the best we can hope for is wisdom from countries that are less concerned about the freedoms of their corporations and more concerned about the freedoms of their citizens.

You're obviously new to Earth.
Yeah, because getting rid of the back-up pilot is such a wonderful idea. How about I eliminate Ryanair as an airline I'll travel on?
And Congress is exempt from the requirement to have insurance.

Instead of wasting mod points on you, I'll just tell you:
