[pp.int.general] Against ACTA

I'm gettin the feeling that one of the next important points political
pirates must put through is the distinction between filesharing and
counterfeits. So that these two are NEVER addressed in same legislation.

> And I will not stand by when our competitors don’t play by the rules. We’ve

> Americans are working today because we stopped a surge in Chinese tires.
> But we need to do more. It’s not right when another country lets our

> Tonight, I’m announcing the creation of a Trade Enforcement Unit that will
