WHAT IS ACTA?
The Anti Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) was a multinational treaty for the purpose of establishing international standards for intellectual property rights enforcement. The agreement aimed to establish an international legal framework for targeting counterfeit goods, generic medicines and copyright infringement on the internet.

BENEFITS OF ACTA
Enhancing international IPR (Intellectual Property Rights) enforcement by partnering with countries that recognize the critical importance of such enforcement. Strengthening the international fight against pirate and counterfeiters who steal from businesses and workers, discourage innovation and creativity, threaten health and safety, provide an easy source of revenue for organized crime, and cause loss of tax revenue. Building on the successes of the Strategy Targeting Organized Piracy (STOP) initiative, a government-wide effort started in October 2004 to confront piracy and counterfeiting.

THE GOALS
To

achieve a new kind of agreement combining commitments to strong laws with a framework for ongoing cooperation and the promotion of effective enforcement practices. approach aims to strengthen legal frameworks, bridge the gap between laws on the books and strong enforcement on the ground, and to foster ongoing cooperation and leadership.

This

THE GOALS (CONTINUED)

The combination builds on solid foundations: - Past agreements have addresses the legal framework for IPR enforcement. - International cooperation and enforcement practices have already been enhanced through growing efforts in international for such as the G8 and APEC, and efforts with the EU and with the Canada and Mexico starting with the US-EU and SPP summits in 2005.

DOES COPYRIGHT, TRADEMARK, ACTA, ETC MAKE SENSE?

My conclusion is that the point of Copyright, Trademark, ACTA, etc just to make a profit. Here we see the double standard that is at play within the current system. Where the system is supposed to be about anyone can succeed, as if its a free-forall, level-playing-field, where you can do what you can to make profits, but then there are rules that protect the profit making opportunities of some, while preventing others.
