US Rejects Demands For ACTA Transparency

An anonymous reader writes "The US Trade Representative issued a release just prior to the launch of the New Zealand round of Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement negotiations that has left no doubt the US is the biggest barrier to official release of the ACTA text. Unlike most other ACTA countries that have called for transparency without condition, the US has set conditions that effectively seek to trade its willingness to release the text for gains on the substance of the text."

"Nefeterius McPherson" - us gov trade representative. a name which sounds out of 60s comic book villainery.

now all that us needs is to get lex luthor (the old one) and dr. octopus as signatories. dr. octopus can be referenced in the acta text as 'an expert on digital economy'

I think this entire thread is obvious and irrelevant. I just thought I'd hop on the bandwagon with you.

I got a Flowers By Irene van parked outside my house 24/7 now. Maybe my letters were too strongly worded.

Can you post a citation to that? Sadly "some dood on Slashdot" is not as authoritative as we'd like.
