The Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA)
The highly discussed the document on the European continent. ACTA Treaty signed on 1 October 2011 in Tokyo, 8 countries (USA, Australia, Canada, Japan, Morocco, Singapore, South Korea). Three subjects who participated in the negotiations (European Union, Switzerland, Mexico) even if the agreement signed, but issued a joint statement that it signed as soon as possible. In the end, we have witnessed a number of open protests against this document.
What are your views on the benefits and what can be negative aspects of this Agreement?
Lot of discussion was dealing with the documents ACTA, PIPO, SOPA. We can found a lot of of negative comments and attitudes, strong arguments against such documents around the all word. But there is still question of prevention of cybercrime, secure web, publishing of sensitive content etc. There is no panacea to solve mentioned issues. What is Your opinion, what we have to do to make things better? Do You have any concrete proposal?
