Yes, even more copyright and intellectual property stuff. We have several stories on this one today, so I figured I'd throw them all together. First and foremost, ACTA has finally been dragged out of the shadows and into the light (thanks to the EU parliament), so we can take a look at what's in there. Is it really as bad as everyone thinks it is? Short answer: yes. Long answer: Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees.

I can't possibly imagine what imminent infringement could be.
I sure can (but I might be wrong). If you have copyrighted material available via file share, they can bust you - even if they can't prove there was any copying. Normally, it would be hard to say you violated copyright if nothing was copied, but this would relieve them of having to prove that copying actually took place.

I can't possibly imagine what imminent infringement could be. I mean what are they going to do? Sue people that looked liked they were going to download something? The linked article didn't have any details.
