A GLOBAL POLICING ROLE for Internet service providers (ISPs) has been deleted from the latest Anti Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) draft leaked onto the world wide web.
The progress of the ACTA treaty deliberations has regularly been leaked online with nearly every working draft getting an airing. This time a rights organisation called the Knowledge Ecology International (KEI) is hosting a PDF of the latest draft after a round of talks in Washington. Previous versions have been confirmed so there’s little reason to doubt the veracity of this story.
There are several changes in the latest draft that, against all odds, look like they weren’t ghost-written by media content providers.
