Damn it Dustin. You broke EFF's website. The site is spitting out mysql
errors. 

 

 

Boing Boing had a short but interesting write up on the upcoming refresh
of the Indian Copyright Act.

Something worth paying attention to from the analysis:

 

Next, ACTA's chapter on "Special Measures Related to Technological
Enforcement of Intellectual Property in the Digital Environment"
contains a proposal (apparently put forward by Japan, based on the
leaked 18 January 2010 draft) requiring ACTA signatories to enable IP
rightsholders to expeditiously obtain subscriber identity information
from ISPs (Article 2.18 (3ter)(Option 2). This appears to be
inconsistent with US standards of due process and judicial oversight.

Follow that link and you'll see a relatively short first pass analysis
of ACTA. You should definitely read it.
