In fact, it is not a copyright issue. Wimedia and Wikipedia is not against
copyright.

It is a issue about legal control. The current redaction of ACTA would bind
to a signing country to create jurisdictional tools for closing and
censoring pages only with "presumption" of copyright violation. For
instance, every Wikipedia's article with a copypaste template could be
closed by a judge.

What exact issues is ACTA meant to cause us. Remember stronger
copyright controls are in many ways in Wikipedia's interest. It kills
off any potential competition.

[Wikimedia-l] Mexican government signs ACTA

2012-07-12 Thread Ivan Martínez 
Dear all,

The agency that regulates in Mexico the Industrial Property (IMPI) signed
the ACTA agreement in Japan yesterday. Here's the official press
release[1].

In July 2011, a plural working group (composed of senators, experts,
enthusiasts and academics) had warned the risks of ACTA for Internet
freedom in our country, and exhorted the federal government to not sign
it. Even last week the European Parliament was rejected the same agreement.

The next step is to put pressure on Mexico to the Senate not to approve the
reform, due to the conclusions reached last year with the plural working
group.

We're taking actions as a local chapter, and asking that the community of
Wikipedia in Spanish to put an informative banner. We hope that these
actions can be supported and disseminated by the Wikimedia movement.
