Sean Flynn from the Program on Information Justice and Intellectual Property at American University has sent some questions on ACTA, the “Anti Counterfeiting Trade Agreement” to Techdirt who wrote about it. These questions are based upon the interpretation of the current state of ACTA from the perspective of someone concerned about the availability of generic medicines especially to less developed countries.
But those people are not the only ones concerned about ACTA! A growing number of technologists such as Simonand authors such as Cory Doctorow have parsed ACTA as well and are mightily concerned about both the method of negotiations as well as the actual contents of the proposed treaty.
