A little more has come out:

http://www.michaelgeist.ca/content/view/4575/125/

The European Commission analysis of ACTA's Internet chapter has leaked, indicating that the U.S. is seeking to push laws that extend beyond the WIPO Internet treaties and beyond current European Union law (the EC posted the existence of the document last week but refused to make it publicly available). The document contains detailed comments on the U.S. proposal, confirming the U.S. desire to promote a three-strikes and you're out policy, a Global DMCA, harmonized contributory copyright infringement rules, and the establishment of an international notice-and-takedown policy.

Leaked document - get it while it's still available.

That article is from a Canadian viewpoint, but it's pretty damning of what Obama's administration is pushing.

It's scary to think how easy things like this could be used to take a site like Free Republic offline. All of the images, videos, etc., that get posted here could be easily used to not only harm Free Republic, but to go after freepers.

I think that needs its own post. Ping me when you do it and I’ll send it out to the list.
