>>  From Obama's last speech:
>>
>> I will go anywhere in the world to open new markets for American
>> products. And I will not stand by when our competitors don’t play by the
>> rules. We’ve brought trade cases against China at nearly twice the rate as
>> the last administration — and it’s made a difference. (Applause.) Over a
>> thousand 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
>> movies, music, and software be pirated. It’s not fair when foreign
>> manufacturers have a leg up on ours only because they’re heavily subsidized.
>>
>> Tonight, I’m announcing the creation of a Trade Enforcement Unit that
>> will be charged with investigating unfair trading practices in countries
>> like China. (Applause.) There will be more inspections to prevent
>> counterfeit or unsafe goods from crossing our borders. And this Congress
>> should make sure that no foreign company has an advantage over American
>> manufacturing when it comes to accessing financing or new markets like
>> Russia. Our workers are the most productive on Earth, and if the playing
>> field is level, I promise you — America will always win. (Applause.)
>>
>>
>> In other words, up with the spirit of ACTA, a Trade Enforcement Unit will
>> be created by Obama that will prosecute pirates crossing US borders as well
>> as, say, those other guys trafficking with counterfeited drugs and thing
>> like that.

>>> Today is the day when the European Commision will sign ACTA in Japan.
>>>
>>> Unless the European Parliament is subjected to unprecedented public
>>> pressure, they will sign ACTA as well.
>>>
>>> Now, what are we going to do about it?
