ACTA

When trade agreements are negotiated in secret we should all be worried. ACTA is the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement and it is most definitely cause for concern. Micheal Geist has written a timeline summary for those of us who haven't followed all the details to date. Details? Therein lies the problem. Getting details on what the agreement will cover, seems to be impossible. The U.S. has even gone as far as invoking national security concerns to block freedom of information requests. Huh? For a trade agreement?

If that doesn't send shivers up your spine, you must be living in China or some place where government secrecy is perfectly normal.
