In this episode of the always-excellent Command Line geek
podcast, the Electronic Frontier Foundation’s Danny O’Brien does a great
job of explaining what’s going on with the secret Anti-Counterfeiting
Trade Agreement (ACTA, a brutal, unprecedented copyright treaty being negotiated
behind closed doors), how you can fight it, where it came from
and what you can do. It’s as good and crunchy an explanation
of how modern tech-policy works around the world as you’ll
get anywhere today. Danny’s doing the job I used to do for EFF, and
I learned a lot listening to this.
