ACTA (now public) overview

ACTA arrives still bad, but a tiny bit better.

Ars Technica presents a great overview of the, now public, ACTA treaty text and history.  Perhaps most concerning are the 3 strikes and “imminent infringement” rules.  Both seem to run afoul of one’s First Amendment right to receive information (another example, your landlord can’t completely prohibit satellite dishes) and the great deference courts give prior restraint (there has to be imminent danger for the government to stop your speech).
