ACTA - Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement

ACTA affects people in many different countries. There are movements in some of them, and a couple of Facebook groups so far, but I predict and expect that there will be a growing outcry from the public about this secret negotiation taking place and which seems largely to be being pushed by US media interests in directions that will affect our networked world to a huge extent.
I feel that there should be somewhere that general information about this negotiation should be hosted, along with pointers you, the viewer may follow for more information and to join in advocacy groups.
I strongly suggest you take a look at Michael Geist's (Canadian Copyright advocate and lawyer) blog on the topic and listen/watch his excellent presentation on the topic here: http://blip.tv/file/2837223/ - you'll find a feed for it below.
There are a couple of Facebook groups on ACTA - I've joined (and been added as administrator) the one that seems to be the more active of the two - I hope you'll join use there. Numbers mean something to governments. We need many thousands and hopefully at least hundreds of thousands. (OK - since I wrote this I've found over 30 such groups) Squidoo won't let me put links to them all here - but if you do the search for ACTA you'll find them. Here are their titles:
