I would like to thank Geoff Brigham for the excellent job he did analysing the
consequences of SOPA for wikipedia.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:SOPA_initiative/Legal_overview
Would it be possible to analyse ACTA in a similar manner? This is apparently
the treaty text:
http://www.international.gc.ca/trade-agreements-accords-commerciaux/assets/pdfs/acta-crc_apr15-2011_eng.pdf
Possibly we've already done so, and I've missed it? :-)
I'm especially interested in the following questions:
* What issues, if any, does ACTA raise, for wikipedia?
* what points would be wise to point out to legislature, to ensure wikipedia
does not come to harm, if implemented anyway?
We can then proceed to engage with the diverse members of the diverse
committees in .eu (as required), or engage with our local
legislature (as required)
Once appropriate for us, note that La quadrature du net is taking action, and
has collected all relevant phone numbers and addresses etc:
https://www.laquadrature.net/wiki/How_to_act_against_ACTA#Contact_your_Elected_Representatives
The window for action on ACTA is now very narrow, time is short.
sincerely,
Kim Bruning
