Son of ACTA: meet the next secret copyright treaty

Like a secret law? I thought supposedly classically liberal and democratic countries weren't supposed to have those.

The whole DMCA thing disgusts me. Once I buy something, then I should be held in good faith not to infringe on copyright rights. If I do, then I could see issues, but not before. I suppose the problem is that we've redefined 'infringe' to mean making possible for anyone to infringe, no matter what my intentions were.

This is as if we were to hold gun manufacturers responsible for all gun injury, or auto manufacturers responsible for all car accidents, or construction workers responsible for earthquake damage, or office suppliers responsible for eyes poked out by thrown pencils, or &c., &c., &c., the inane list goes on and on...

Not a lawyer, but required to say so by lawyers.
