ACTA the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement, has leaked. There is a torrent on The Pirate Bay where you download the text of the treaty.
Also check out Michael Geist’s blog – he has been reflecting and analyzing ACTA information for some time.

Counterfeiting in Uppsala
Tomorrow it’s time to travel to Uppsala for the three day workshop ‘Mashing-up Culture: The Rise of User-generated Content. The workshop is part of the Counter project, a European research project exploring the consumption of counterfeit and pirated leisure goods.
The program is filled with really interesting people and presentations so I know this is going to be good. An added bonus is that Uppsala is a very nice little town.
