Proposed US ACTA multi-lateral intellectual property trade agreement (2007) - Wi…: Jun 19, 12:08pm 1 review internet, politics, privacy, society
https://secure.wikileaks.org/wiki/Proposed_US_ACTA_multi-lateral_intellectual...; From the page: "In 2007 a select handful of the wealthiest countries began a treaty-making process to create a new global standard for intellectual property rights enforcement, which was called, in a piece of brilliant marketing, the "Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement" (the agreement does not cover currency fraud)."

" ACTA is spearheaded by the United States along with the European Commission, Japan, and Switzerland -- which have large intellectual property industries. Other countries invited to participate in ACTA's negotiation process are Canada, Australia, Korea, Mexico and New Zealand. Noticeably absent from ACTA's negotiations are leaders from developing countries who hold national policy priorities that differ from the international intellectual property industry."

"The agreement covers the copying of information or ideas in a wide variety of contexts. For example page three, paragraph one is a "Pirate Bay killer" clause designed to criminalize the non-profit facilitation of unauthorized information exchange on the internet. This clause would also negatively affect transparency and primary source journalism sites such as Wikileaks. The document reveals a proposal for a multi-lateral trade agreement of strict enforcement of intellectual property rights related to Internet activity and trade in information-based goods hiding behind the issue of false trademarks. If adopted, a treaty of this form would impose a strong, top-down enforcement regime, with new cooperation requirements upon internet service providers, including perfunctionary disclosure of customer information. The proposal also bans "anti-circumvention" measures which may affect online anonymity systems and would likely outlaw multi-region CD/DVD players. "
That's right, dark forces are at play and they're after your online freedom.

Marechaussee bekijkt GSMs - Binnenland - Telegraaf.nl [24 uur actueel, ook mobie…: Apr 23, 11:41am 1 review netherlands, privacy
http://www.telegraaf.nl/binnenland/3853648/_Marechaussee_bekijkt_GSM_s__.html; Big brother alert De marechaussee doorzoekt bij grenscontrole laptops, gsm's, cd's en andere gegevensdragers, buiten de wet om.

From he page:"De proef op Schiphol met het 'leegzuigen' van gegevensdragers bij grenspassages had eigenlijk geheim moeten blijven. Aan de uitvoering ervan kleven namelijk nog legio juridische problemen. "Onder leiding van het openbaar ministerie in Haarlem hebben de Koninklijke Marechaussee, douane en KLPD een pilot gehouden met betrekking tot de controle op het Nederland binnenbrengen van kinderporno door zogenaamde kinderpornokoeriers, alsmede sekstoerisme", aldus een offici�le verklaring van justitie. Rob Stenacker, woordvoerder van de marechaussee op Schiphol, licht toe: " Deze pilot bestond uit het extra controleren van vluchten uit landen waar kinderporno wordt vervaardigd, alsmede het controleren van vluchten uit landen waar sekstoerisme plaatsvindt, zoals Thailand, Brazili�, Sri Lanka en Vietnam." Criteria Schimmig blijft w�� wordt gecontroleerd als mogelijke kinderpornokoerier, want die criteria houdt de marechaussee geheim. "Controles vonden plaats aan de hand van criteria die opgesteld zijn naar aanleiding van analyses en informatie die bij de marechaussee bekend zijn", is het enige dat de marechausseewoordvoerder kwijt wil."

The dutch military police is scanning laptops, cell phones, usb-sticks and other media devices during border checks. There's no clear jurisdictional ground for these checks. The project was supposed to remain secret.
