From the article:
"The US is negotiating ACTA through the Office of the US Trade Representative (USTR), an office within the Bush Administration that has concluded more than 10 “free trade” agreements in recent years, all of which require both the US and the other country to increase intellectual property rights enforcement measures beyond the international legal norms in the WTO-TRIPS Agreement.

- Rep. Mary Bono (R-CA)
- Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-VA)
- Rep. Howard Berman (D-CA)
- Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA)
- Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN)"

Also from the article i.e. follow the money ...

"Rep. Howard Berman (D-CA)[4]

Top four campaign contributions for 2006:
Time Warner $21,000
News Corp $15,000
Sony Corp of America $14,000
Walt Disney Co $13,550
Top two Industries:
TV/Movies/Music $181,050
Lawyers/Law Firms $114,200"

It's going to be a hard sell considering we don't even have these proposals as law in the US and Bush is going down!

Believe it or not, this is being pushed by the EU even more than the US.

Not that things are better in Europe. USTR is hardly the only one pushing for agreement and for acting in secret: the EU was an early and enthusiastic advocate.

“The rumors of what is in the draft are pretty much all bad and the scope is growing, not shrinking; it is even said that the latest version has filtering language in it.”

you get one guess and if the last two letters aren't AA, you're wrong. [caveat: could be the international org, which only has one A at the end].

if I am remembering correctly, this bill will also mandate that border guards search laptops for infringing content.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20594923 Thu, 05 Jun 2008 09:52:31 EDT Re: Who proposed this? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20594908 gaforces : From the article:
