In fact, it is not a copyright issue. Wimedia and Wikipedia is not against
copyright.
It is a issue about legal control. The current redaction of ACTA would bind
to a signing country to create jurisdictional tools for closing and
censoring pages only with "presumption" of copyright violation. For
instance, every Wikipedia's article with a copypaste template could be
closed by a judge.

Dear all,
The agency that regulates in Mexico the Industrial Property (IMPI) signed
the ACTA agreement in Japan yesterday. Here's the official press
release[1].
What exact issues is ACTA meant to cause us. Remember stronger
copyright controls are in many ways in Wikipedia's interest. It kills
off any potential competition.
