Ok, the ACTA's in the open now... But only recently. The negotiations have been going on for years now behind closed doors. It was a big secret who was invited and why. The reason: "If the negotiations would have been public, the crop's participating wouldn't have been able to speak freely without suffering damage to their public image". That alone should tell you something about what happened there behind closed doors... btw: that's a literal quote from EU commissioner Karel De Gucht.
So you think you'll be safe if you just use your own content? Think again, ACTA's about a lot more than that. It's also about patents, software patents etc... the kind where some corporation patents "a software system that enables a person to buy access to digital content" or "a system that allows a person to add an item to a shopping cart with one click"....
