Lately, I've been hearing a lot about this new act or something called the Anti-Counterfeit Trade Agreement, or ACTA, and a lot of people seem to be really pissed off about it, calling it the first thoughtcrime. I ask what it's about, but no one seems to be able to clearly explain it. And I Googled it, and just got a bunch of big-word sophisticated gibberish like "assified" and "zerdification" and other shit I've never heard of before. Either that or it's some fifty-page essay of beating around the bush...
TL;DR - Can someone tell me what the ACTA is in short?
:google:?
or ask someone you know and is older. just a suggestion

Read the OP.
I already googled it. And nobody in my family is especially interested in anything like this.
I can read what Wikiped says, it ain't that hard. (The words)

What?
wasnt it that one sided contract to further lick the ass of the USA? European countries send over data
to the US (criminal records, statistics and all that stuff) and receive nothing in exchange?!

I'm not sure. What I read was something along the lines of:
"piracy is criminalized and you can be punished before even pirating anything."
But I don't understand how the government could know that... But maybe you're right. The person who said this wasn't exactly well-read. Maybe's it's something completely different!
