Europe’s ISP industry body has attacked a global copyright agreement, currently being negotiated in secret, that could lead to the disconnection of internet users who are accused of persistent copyright infringement.
Following the leak of the EU’s comments, Canadian internet law expert Michael Geist said the leak « reinforces the need for all governments to come clean ».
« Releasing both the Acta text and government analysis of the treaty should be a condition of any further participation in the talks, » Geist said on his blog.
