Skunks, Since Spring 2008, the European Union, the United States, Japan, Canada, South Korea, Australia as well as a few other countries have been secretly negotiating a *trade agreement aimed at enforcing copyright and tackling counterfeited goods* (Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement). Specifically, leaked documents show that one of the major goal of the treaty is to force signatory countries into implementing anti file-sharing policies under the form of *three-strikes schemes and net filtering practices*. At a time when important debates are taking place on the need to adapt copyright to the digital age, this treaty would *bypass democratic processes * in order to enforce a fundamentally irrelevant regulatory regime. It would profoundly *alter the very nature of the Internet* as we know it by putting an end to Net neutrality <https://www.laquadrature.net/Net_neutrality>. See the most interesting provisions<http://www.laquadrature.net/files/201001_acta.pdf>under discussions . What are your thoughts Kevin
