Secret copyright treaty meeting coming to New Zealand; activists get ready
,----[ Quote ]
| The opposition movement that formed in
| response to the "three strikes" rule is
| ready to take action on ACTA, to make sure
| that New Zealand's information policy is
| made democratically, and not through secret
| meetings in back rooms. They are organizing
| their response to the ACTA negotiations next
| April, and given their amazing mobilization
| against "three strikes" the last time
| around, I expect great things. If you're
| from .nz or live there now, tell your
| friends and loved ones about this: your
| family's ability to communicate, earn a
| living, get an education and participate in
| civil society could be jeapordized by the
| decisions the elite plan on making in your
| country.
|
| And hey, Mexico! There's an ACTA meeting
| headed your way in January. Got anything
| planned?

Is EU Parroting the ACTA Lie?
,----[ Quote ]
| I've written several times about the trick
| that ACTA uses to blur the distinction
| between large-scale, criminal
| counterfeiting, and domestic, personal
| copyright infringement. Sadly, the EU seems
| to be following the same script...

US studios want NZ copyright justice 'streamlined'
,----[ Quote ]
| Federation Against Copyright Theft executive director Tony Eaton has
| signalled the lobby group may push for a "streamlined" enforcement regime
| that would mean people accused of piracy could be cut off from the internet
| without a full hearing.
