There's at least one item that could go in both lists, if I'm not
mistaken: governments, organizations, ACTA and the like do aim to
fight *both* copyright violations and patent violations as
"counterfeiting" offences, don't they?

Today I've been talking with a colleague of Mr. Engström, and I found
myself a bit annoyed when he begun explaining, in one single sentence,
how important it was to fight the ACTA, to change pharmaceutical
patents, and to find a way for the authors/musicians/artists to make a
living. On one hand, he was unarguably right, on the other hand he was
mixing up so many different things that in the end it hardly made any
sense...

Cheers,
