ACTA
Talked to my DJ friend that I got to know about from Jamendo about the ambient site that I visited yesterday and stopped in to listen to some of the music. He said he didn't think it was legal and so he thought it best to give it a miss.
He was talking about the ACTA .. a new trade treaty that is going to be made public this week which is hoped to be sanctioned by the end of this year. I've been reading about it this morning and legally it's really interesting. I suspect that all the countries are going to be watching what happens in France closely as they have already passed a three times and you're off law into their legal system. At the moment the EC wants each of its members to be able to decide what it does regarding graduated penalties into its country's laws. The treaty also covers how much liability ISPs are going to have.
