[pp.int.general] ACTA

[Richard Stallman]

The use of the term "intellectual property" in the directive and its
advocacy are a sign to expect it to be bad.  That term spreads
confusion whenever it is used, and encourages bad laws.  Thus, the
most basic problem with IPRED and its revisions is that they were
designed based on the ideas of that term.  The specific problems are
elaborations of that.

As we oppose individual bad proposed laws, we should not forget to
oppose the patterns of thought that generate them.
