Pro-ACTA Site Says 'Get the Facts' 84
Glyn Moody writes "We hear a lot about politicians and countries rejecting ACTA, but not so much from the treaty's supporters. Here's a new site, called 'ACTA Facts,' which invites Europeans to 'get the facts' on how wonderful ACTA really is. Judging by its content, this one will be about as successful as Microsoft's 'Get the Facts' campaign a few years ago, which tried to dissuade people from using GNU/Linux. For example, a new report linked to by the site claims that ACTA could 'boost European output by a total of €50 billion, and create as many as 960,000 new jobs.' Unfortunately, that's based on numerous flawed assumptions, including the idea that countries like China and India are going to rush to join ACTA, when the treaty is actually designed as a weapon against them, as they have already noticed."
What a terrible website (Score:5, Interesting)
Looks like its 10 years old and written by someone not much older at the time. Should a assume that the content on the page is of similar quality?

Well, BASCAP is "Business Action to Stop Counterfeiting And Piracy", so it's at least up their ally. And here's Jeff's contact details. Click here to send an email, it says. Maybe we should.
