Back-Door Copyright Regulation: The Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement
Australia, Canada, the European Union, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, South Korea, Switzerland, and the United States have been conducting low-profile meetings about a new trade agreement that would significantly effect copyright laws in the participating countries if passed. It is called the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement, and a discussion paper was leaked in May. It may include provisions such as ISP disclosure of suspected infringers without a warrant.
