Actually the leaked ACTA draft curiously goes to great lengths to exclude individual personal stuff music/video/books/andsoforth you carry through customs, it's really weird, made me think they did that for their relatives or something.

This is the oldest trick in the book.

Make things sound like they are going to be much worse than they are ("oh noes! cavity searches at airports for contraband MP3 sticks!") then tone it down and watch while everyone breathes a sigh of relief (and the opposition disappears) because it didn't turn out to be as terrible as first thought.

Then wait, rinse and repeat.

This is the day *before* the UK general election debate. If we can pick out the worst bits of the treaty and co-ordinate sending questions about it, we might be able to force a question on it to happen in the actual debate itself.

Wouldn't that be something?

Yeah let's all fly to the farthest reaches of the planet to break freedom, away from prying eyes, screw the climate, it's for a 'good' cause after all.
