Obama Administration Secret Proposal On Copyright Puts ISP At Center Of Debate
The Moderate Voice —
... reshape Canadian copyright law and to eliminate sovereign choice on domestic copyright policy… If Canada agrees to these ACTA terms, flexibility in WIPO implementation (as envisioned by the treaty) would be lost and Canada would be forced to implement a host of new reforms (this is precisely what U.S. lobbyists have said they would like to see happen). In other words, the very notion of a made-in-Canada approach to copyright would be gone.
And at BoingBoing, Cory Doctorow summarizes the leak, in part:

BOINGBOING: Secret copyright treaty leaks. It’s bad. Very bad.
The internet chapter of the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement, a secret copyright treaty whose text Obama’s administration refused to disclose due to “national security” concerns, has leaked. It’s bad.
Doesn’t seem to be a lot of concern for Internet freedom emanating from this Administration.

Say “No” To Secret Treaties – Especially This One
QandO —
... Corey Doctorow at Boing Boing has gotten a leaked copy of what is characterized as a “secret treaty” – secret because of so-called “national security” implications (secrecy, as we were told during the last election, is the first refuge of tyrants). In fact, it is a copyright treaty alleged to be a part of the Anti-Counterfitting Trade Agreement. Doctorow distills the treaty’s salient points as he understands them: ...

Read this. Just read it.
This is the biggest fish that needs frying. If you don’t have free speech, you don’t have free anything else.
“Remaking America.”
And we have three more years of this guy and his assorted far-left, rights-eroding, speech-silencing, sovereignty-surrendering, hypocritical elitist pals.

The Democrats’ continuing war on the Internet
RedState —
... The last time a Democrat was in the White House we got the Communications Decency Act (since thrown out by the Supreme Court) and the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (still a weight on the neck of American innovators). This time we’re not only seeing “Net Neutrality” being used as cover for sweeping proposed regulation of the Internet like never before seen in this country, but we’re also due to expand copyright further. ...

... In other news, you can kiss Flickr good-bye thanks to Mr. Internet-savvy Obama and his secret copyright treaty, which requires ISPs to go out of their way to police user-contributed material for copyright violations, to cut off internet access too anyone accused of such a violation (and anyone who shares the same net access), and make this insanity international. I just knew they were going to take this thing away from us....
Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement Is A Very Bad Idea That Is Dumb
Oliver Willis —
... If the Obama administration lets any of this pass, they’re idiots. The one special interest group I will totally concede that Democrats far too often give in to is the copyright/content people. This is an outgrowth of that, laws that could deny someone internet access for the mere accusation of copyright infringement. It is ridiculous. ...

Shadow of the Hegemon —
Have you heard about ACTA? The so-called "Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement"? If you haven't, and you like this whole "Internet" thing, you damned well better start paying attention. ACTA is a secret anti-"piracy" treaty that has been negotiated over the past few years, most recently in Korea. That's "secret" as in "you aren't supposed to know what's in it until it's too late". In fact, when pressed on the contents, the Obama administration has said that they can't talk about it because of "national security". Fortunately, it's been leaked. And here's a nice brief summary from Cory Doctorow of why they were so desperate for ...
