What is ACTA? ACTA is the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement. A new intellectual property enforcement treaty being negotiated by the United States, the European Community, Switzerland, and Japan, with Australia, the Republic of Korea, New Zealand, Mexico, Jordan, Morocco, Singapore, the United Arab Emirates, and Canada recently announcing that they will join in as well.
Why should you care about ACTA? Initial reports indicate that the treaty will have a very broad scope and will involve new tools targeting “Internet distribution and information technology.”
What is the goal of ACTA? Reportedly the goal is to create new legal standards of intellectual property enforcement, as well as increased international cooperation, an example of which would be an increase in information sharing between signatory countries’ law enforcement agencies.

"Hari!" The name burst from my mouth like a desperate nicotine cough. -- WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN
THERE ARE THREE DAYS LEFT
eta: Okay, so, I've reached the point where everything pretty much turns into a Benny Hill farce because I don't have control over the characters anymore and I'm like, GO, just GO, do whatever the FUCK you want.
Light glinted off the steel of Samson's gun and I dived to the pavement, the slug gouging a hole in the brick where my head had just been. With my face at ground level, and Samson starting to climb out of the trap door, I now found myself nearly eye to eye with him, which is probably the most unpleasant thing that I could ever wish on a fellow human being. And not only is being eye to eye with Samson unpleasant, but staring down the barrel of his gun is no picnic in the park either.

I've just clicked the button that will make all my public entries, some 5,000+ of them, friends-only. It's sad.
This entry is still public as a sort of last hurrah and fuck you. (Not you. I like you.)
Now to make a nice "Friends Only" banner. I think it should have Daleks on it.
