The Senate is set to ratify after they complete analysis of ACTA by the end of this month.
Australia has become the second country to ratify the agreement and only 4 more ratification until our human rights are taken away.
Say goodbye to DeviantArt.
But we need to read Article 24
ARTICLE 24: PENALTIES
For offenses specified in paragraphs 1, 2, and 4 of Article 23 (Criminal
Offenses), each Party shall provide penalties that include imprisonment as well as
monetary fines12 sufficiently high to provide a deterrent to future acts of infringement,
consistently with the level of penalties applied for crimes of a corresponding gravity.
Future Acts of Infringement. Ever watched Minority Report? This could allow authorities to imprison everyone even if they're not doing anything that doesn't infringe anyone's intellectual property
Like predicting a crime to be committed. ACTA could predict that you would plan to draw a fan art of someone's intellectual property in lets say 36 hours.
Third, Since the Czech Republic is non-EU, it may intend to ratify ACTA despite its' parliament's rejections on the treaty.
