[Wikimedia-l] Mexican government signs ACTA

[Salvador A]

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.
