You
forget that the ACTA Treaty is what is driving these bills to be made.
The treaty requires signatories to modify, delete, or make new laws in
order to perform all the minimum requirements specified by ACTA. The
interpretation of how to do it is left up to each individual country.
Obviously, liberal countries will have more allowance for people's
rights and conservative countries will give business' rights more
precedence over individual rights.
Some items in the USA Fair
Use contradict ACTA, but until someone gets prosecuted AND pays for the
side case to be appealed, those contradictions will remain. The
businesses prefer not challenge it since by making the pirate defendant
have to pay for the extra appeal to clear up the contradiction, the
defendant runs out of money and will simply surrender instead of
appealing.
ACTA requires blocking of known violator sites which
means ISP backbone routers will drop data packets to or from the
violators. While you can still exist in a non-signatory country, the
chances of your packets going thru a router of an ACTA country is high
(usa, japan, australia, european union, morrocco). Morrocco is a nice
move since all the major comm lines in south africa go up along that
coast. |
