China and ACTA: Why Is The Problem Not Made Part Of The Solution?
,----[ Quote ]
| Section 2. Border Measures:
| Under discussion is whether border measures should apply not only to
| importations (as TRIPs prescribes) but also to export and transit of goods;
| Another possible point of contention is whether travelers can import
| counterfeit or pirated goods for their personal use (de minimis exception);
| It is no surprise that ACTA tries to solve some of the points, which
| especially has frustrated the US (which among other reasons brought a claim
| against China at the WTO: DS 362): measures to ensure that infringing goods
| are not released into free circulation and the destruction of goods that have
| been determined to infringe intellectual property rights.

The Latest Act in the ACTA Farce
,----[ Quote ]
| The rest, unfortunately, is the usual mixture of half-truths and outright
| fibs. But this constant trickle of such documents shows that they are taking
| notice of us, and that we must up the pressure for full disclosure of what
| exactly is being negotiated in our name.
