Guest Post - ACTA Text Released: Impact On India and Other Developing Countries
,----[ Quote ]
| The metaphorical 'season-finale' of the ACTA
| negotiations, after relentless calls for
| transparency and public consultation,
| revealed the much awaited official draft
| text of the agreement, generating
| significant issues for not only
| participating nations but also developing
| countries that have been curiously
| overlooked during the discussions. In this
| post, I intend to bring out the political
| and diplomatic factors for such exclusion,
| and the impact of the substantive provisions
| contained in the draft text on developing
| countries, including India.

The tail wagging the dog
,----[ Quote ]
| The "copyright" industry consisting of a
| technologically obsolete Hollywood studios;
| music recording companies; and publishers of
| books is minuscule . To protect this
| pipsqueak industry, the Obama administration
| proposes both through the Department of
| Justice and the ACTA to impose draconian
| steps that will threaten many other not so
| pipsqueak industries, including the IT
| industry. Michele and I have pointed out the
| problem before.
