The ACTA has nothing to do with stopping piracy and everything to do with taking control of the internet. It is the final free frontier for media, and that is something that needs to be terminated in the eyes of the controllers. Close up the loopholes in the DMCA, take a zero tolerance approach against those who distribute pirated material and force them to be vigilant in the prevention of it's distribution. Fine anyone caught doing so heavily. I have no arguments against piracy on the net needing to be taken care of, however the ACTA is something entirely different and attacks the rights of each and every user online who is living in a nation under the watch of ACTA. If the act was a simple attack on piracy without other ramifications what's the issue with making the entire thing publicly available for review?
