ACTA: A GUIDE TO THE TREATY FROM ZDNET UK

Get the lowdown on the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) with
ZDNet UK’s brand new guide.

What is ACTA?

The international legislation is an intensely contentious document. Drawn
up mostly behind closed doors, its purpose is to harmonise
intellectual-property enforcement around the world and cut down on
counterfeiting and commercial-scale piracy.

Why does it matter?

Critics say its wording could be used to target individual infringers of
copyright and even dampen free speech.

This ZDNet UK guide to ACTA outlines the positions of its supporters and
its critics, discusses what’s new and how its ratification could affect the
great copyright-versus-technology debate.
