• “WikiLeaks’ Assange Threatened Lawsuit Over Leaked Diplomatic Cables” by Kim Zetter (Wired; 2011.01.06) – http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2011/01/vf-wikieaks/
  Just weeks prior to unveiling a giant cache of leaked U.S. State Department cables, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange threatened to sue the Guardian newspaper in Britain over publication of the documents, […]
  After receiving the database of a quarter-million cables from Assange under embargo last August, the Guardian obtained a second copy of the database from a WikiLeaks insider without conditions — which led the newspaper to conclude it was no longer bound by a signed agreement with Assange that it wouldn’t publish the documents until he gave the go-ahead.
  Assange, suddenly faced with having lost control of documents that WikiLeaks itself had received from a source, asserted that he owned the information and had a financial interest in how and when it was released, the magazine reports.

    The simple answer to the underlying question is: ISPs and telcos need a way to fund the Internet monitoring functions required by the Anti Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) and Canada’s Investigating and Preventing Criminal Electronic Communications Act (Bill C-52).

  The ultra secret Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) may be one of the worst kept secrets in the international community. The updated version of the infamous text has leaked online….

  Here (http://www.laquadrature.net/files/ACTA_consolidatedtext_EUrestricted130710.pdf) is the full consolidated text of the ACTA agreement, dated July 1st 2010. This is the full text from the Luzern round of negotiations, including the name of the negotiating parties along with their positions. It apparently comes from the civil liberties committee (LIBE) of the European Parliament.

  Things are apparently getting tense over the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA). If rights holders are hoping to get ACTA talks finalized quick and efficiently, they have a huge problem as European negotiators and US negotiators seem to be squaring off with each other according to a recently published report.
• Latest Version of ACTA Leaks (SlashDot; 2010.07.15) – http://yro.slashdot.org/story/10/07/15/1920256/Latest-Version-of-ACTA-Leaks
  “Drew Wilson of ZeroPaid points to a freshly leaked version of ACTA available on La Quadrature Du Net. While the text will need further analysis, the most recent look at the text suggests that there is no Three Strikes law, but anti-circumvention laws have a new twist to them with regard to exceptions in that ‘they do not significantly impair the adequacy of legal protection […] or the effectiveness of legal remedies for violations of those measures.’ Overall, the text still hints at a global DMCA with notice-and-takedown.”
