Michael Geist on how excessive copyright and ACTA-like treaties will directly affect the process of sharing and education, i.e. what we do.

Actually, that appears to be Russell McOrmond, not Michael Geist (though he's written extensively on the secret ACTA treaty negotiations). Certainly worth reading, and getting involved.

ACTA is a huge threat to sanity in several overlapping areas Wikimedians should be and are concerned about: intellectual property, FLOSS, rights online, government transparency...

I recommend http://www.michaelgeist.ca/ for anyone interested in these and related issues.

Thanks for the link.
