ACTA text shows US caved in on Internet provisions

Quote:
Talk about a cave-in. The Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) has been three years in the making, and at one point included language advocating "three strikes" regimes, ordering ISPs to develop anti-piracy plans, promoting tough DRM anticircumvention language, setting up a "takedown" notification system, and "secondary liability" for device makers.

basically after fair use groups bitched about the censorship that the laws would create if abused, they basically gutted all the "cool" stuff you guys were praying would happen

ala "robbie's times are changing"

Like i said before the DMCA didn't have a safe harbor provision when it was first proposed

the balance was established with that provision

looks like copyright holders didn't want to face triple damages/loss of all their copyrights if they infringed on fair use, so they back peddled on everything they asked for.

no 3 strikes
no anti circumvention
no isp liablity
no anti caming
DRM has "or permitted by law." exception which would prevent current abuse against fair use that the DMCA anti circumvention rules have had.


for those of you keeping score i was right again and robbie was wrong again.
