U.S. Report Says ACTA Deal Gaining Steam

… a report out of the U.S. suggests that there is considerable reason for public concern regarding ACTA.  Congress Daily (sub req) quotes a high-level official from the USTR as indicating that the talks are gaining steam, with a binding international agreement likely by the end of the year.  The USTR official continued by noting that the treaty will focus on international cooperation, enforcement practices, and a legal framework. The comments are consistent with the document leaked last week that has led to front page headlines in Canada.
