  • Pretty fair question about the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement, a pro-copyright treaty that’s drawing the same kind of ire as America’s proposed Stop Online Piracy Act and Protect IP Act. “Why are we not seeing nearly as much protest against ACTA like we did with SOPA/PIPA?” Are we simply too late? (r/askreddit)
