In the US, President Obama signed an executive order to seize control of all communications, including all non-military communications (which means the Internet) just days after the European Parliament killed ACTA, and a month prior to the ACTA vote Obama was considering executive action to stop online piracy.

An executive order is the ultimate order able to be given by a US President, and it supersedes all others and not even Congress can stop it. The only way for such action to stop is termination by the President.

The bad thing about such “trade agreements” are: Hollywood was never elected by people in your country. Why should they be able to make laws there? Outside the US we have real democrazies, (yeah I see the spelling) where as over the pond they let big companies decide laws. Here is the real threat of ACTA and similar attacks : private companies will be allowed to look into your living room, (or bedroom), and store information about you, (and yes, even if you did nothing wrong. Did you go to school? Ever read or seen Big Brother? Come back when you have.

The price of freedom is eternal vigilance.” I don`t know who said it but the kudos go to you. A “Like” doesn`t cut it. The quote says it all.

Since the US, Australia, Switzerland, Mexico, Morocco, Singapore, Canada, and South Korea. It looks like the US and Japan WILL agree to it along with a few other countries. But it won’t be dead until either they don’t have enough to ratify it or by May 2013. If they don’t have enough to ratify it they may use up that extra year to enter into more talks with other countries or find other countries who are more willing to agree to it.
