"I believe there should be anti-counterfeiting measures" -- Giles Chichester MEP stating why he supports ACTA, ignoring all the problems of the actual text and the process. More generally, I feel the whole family of arguments that we need excessive copyright enforcement to help fight terrorism, organised crime, or whatever today's bogeyman is, needs taking down a peg or two. It's anti-social to sideline sharing like that. Regards, -- MJ Ray (slef), member of www.software.coop, a for-more-than-profit co-op.
