Kathy McGraw ACTA, or the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement is an international trade agreement that would standardize intellectual property rights (IP) enforcement amongst all signatories.
The problem with ACTA is that it is being hammered out in complete secrecy and some of the information that has gotten out about it points to some very scary stuff. Why is it scary? It’s scary because some of the provisions would pretty much violate civil liberties, the right of privacy and the presumption of innocence that constitute the backbone the judicial systems in most modern democracies.
