The ACTA:

An agreement between several countries and spear headed by big business to put a stop to all internet piracy by making it a federal crime to pirate anything. as it currently stands piracy is a civil matter not a criminal matter and they have come up ways to get control of pirating including holding IP providers responsible for the content uploaded and download by customers so if we pirate the IP company gets busted for it, this forces IP companies to monitor every bit of data its customers send and receive

further more these select governments are attempting to legalize the random search, copying, and seizure of computers and other devices that hold digital data when a person brings them to an airport. they want to take our laptops with out provocation or reason to copy search them and copy your entire hard drive in an attempt to find pirated material
