ACTA - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dmQN93NqqDM&list=LLDU6AlHwdt_Prtzsn2seXHA&index=1&feature=plpp_video_<p>and Protect Children from Online Pornographers Act http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2011/08/the-legislation-that-could-kill-internet-privacy-for-good/242853/
Acta is a worldwide treaty that probably adds to the Bern convention's law nearly ten years ago. It's a global worry, the equivalents of the MPAA are probably lobbying for it in each country.<p>Pcopa (or the better name I can't find that was proposed in Congress) wants to keep a massive amount of logs, and I'm not sure I understood who would have access to these logs. At the very least the courts could use it to quickly match torrent logs to ISP logs to find a person. The current system is very slow, the ISPs are taking their time (a slow work protest). Impossible to impose due to the name and the first bill that Sopa is attached to.
