So like some ACTA shoot is going to stop piracy, WHICH ISN'T A BAD DEAL BUT HERES THE CATCH.
THIS IS NOT ABOUT PIRACY.
THIS IS ABOUT PRIVACY.
Everyone on a computer will be monitored of their progress. No more privacy at all for anybody. NOPE.
- ISPS will now watch what you download, and tattle on you if you download a music track/ any data / rapidshares / torrents etc.
- ISPS will tattle on you, when you do anything which goes against "Governments policy".
- ISPS will be able to document and store EVERYTHING you do online. nothing will ever be private again

Potential border searches are covered by the "Border Measures" proposal of ACTA. As of February 2009 and according to University of Ottawa law professor Michael Geist there is significant disagreement among countries on this topic: "Some countries are seeking the minimum rules, the removal of certain clauses, and a specific provision to put to rest fears of iPod searching customs officials by excluding personal baggage that contains goods of a non-commercial nature. The U.S. is pushing for broad provisions that cover import, export, and in-transit shipments."[42] Newspaper reported that the draft agreement would empower security officials at airports and other international borders to conduct random ex officio searches of laptops, MP3 players, and cellular phones for illegally downloaded or "ripped" music and movies. Travellers with infringing content would be subject to a fine and may have their devices confiscated or destroyed.

New link has been added with the following information:
"Canadian officials travel to Guadalajara, Mexico this week to resume negotiations on the still-secret Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement. The discussion is likely to turn to the prospect of supporting three strikes and you’re out systems that could result in thousands of people losing access to the Internet based on three allegations of copyright infringement. Leaked ACTA documents indicate that encouraging the adoption of three-strikes - often euphemistically described as “graduated response” for the way Internet providers gradually send increasingly threatening warnings to subscribers - has been proposed for possible inclusion in the treaty."

frack. No. I know nobody is going to want this shoot.
So what can you do?
You can start by spreading the word. This isn't some fracking chain mail, this shoot is serious.
They're going to monitor EVERYONE AND THEIR PRIVACY WILL BE GONE. And I don't want to log into my computer and see that someone is watching me.
Information acquired here, read the whole thing! http://www.stopacta.org/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=4
http://acta.us.to/ Keep this page open at all times! The more people have it open, the higher chance even more people are able to see it when they google search!
ALERT EVERYONE.
Tell as many people as you can. This needs as much attention as it can get! This is a SERIOUS CRISIS. They need to know we are here, and they need to know that we won't stand for it! People who are completely innocent can be subject to this. Even if you haven't downloaded a SINGLE file illegally EVER, they WILL target you. No one is safe.
DO NOT LET THIS HAPPEN.
THE FUTURE OF EVERYTHING YOU DO ON THE INTERNET DEPENDS ON YOU TELLING AS MANY PEOPLE AS YOU CAN AND DESTROYING ACTA.
