    land grab

    this ACTA is the biggest land grab in history.

    taxes on xeroxs for ed (just kicked up 400%)

    you don't own CD, dvds, etc. NO time shifting, songs on ipods. (new copies per view, sucker)

    news stories are patentable (and censored)

    so are orbits, and math equations

    EVERYTHING is trademarked

    you're dead.

    in the water.
