Quick ACTA UPDATE

Germany and Latvia delay ratification of ACTA. This may increase the ability for ACTA to also die slowly. Note there's a lot of resistance in the Slavic countries.

TAKEAWAYS:

  • This thing is a long way from done, or approved, and with protests gearing up I don't think it's going to happen.
  • Also, national issues and feelings may be a big boundary ("why should I do what THAT country says.").
  • Unifited world protests oper these bills is a definite possibility.  It could lead to some strange alliances and interesting political repercussions.
