Perhaps we (NZ) should have done something similar, instead of bending over and getting reamed by the Yanks. :angry

This is why the FBI can now order our police to do their bidding (Kim Dotcom), we apparently have no autonomy (en.wikipedia.org) in this area, our @rse-licking politicians having signed it away.

Believe me, this is just the thin end of the wedge.

By the way, I have never stolen copyrighted software or data , or advocate anybody else doing so.

Piracy is performed on the high seas, involving ships and lethal weapons (ask Peter Blake), to equate that with data theft is patently ridiculous.

Kim Dotcom BTW is unlikely to be found guilty of being the thin end of anything. ;)

1258700 2012-02-12 04:37:00 Too late now. From what I understand, as far as NZ is concerned, its already been signed and is a done deal.

I hadn't heard of it untl a couple of weeks ago via an overseas website.

Too bad the gov didn't see fit to tell us..

Yeah i think that is why they are now calling it IP theft

1258704 2012-02-21 20:27:00 You could ACTA up over the Trans Pacifc Partnership instead

Just as secret as ACTA was but *far* wider reaching

I really do think the news media are half asleep these days but when you consider who owns most of it it is not surprising they are being very quiet about it.
