"A leaked G8 (Canada, France, Germany,
          Italy, Japan, Russia, the UK and USA) document gives the
          strongest indication yet that the leading countries behind
          ACTA are working on the basis that the Agreement is now in
          serious trouble and needs to be fundamentally re-thought and
          re-worked – and in it's current form even abandoned.

          

          The leaked document, apparently prepared in the context of law
          enforcement working groups, appears to consciously address
          some of the criticisms that have been made of ACTA. In
          particular, the document avoids repeating the most obvious
          failure in ACTA - seeking to propose a "one size fits all"
          solution for every IPR issue from counterfeiting to
          unauthorised copying of digital goods. Instead, it narrows its
          focus wholly to counterfeit goods and medicines.

          

          Unfortunately, the lessons have not been completely learned.
          The Internet section, while avoiding the issue of policing of
          digital copying, is partially copied and pasted from the White
          House annual report on IPR Enforcement.

          

          The G8 document seeks to export the entire US policy on the
          role of intermediaries in the trade in physical counterfeits.
          In particular, it seeks to make American companies into a form
          of global non-judicial police force / government, with
          responsibilities ranging from “educating” citizens to policing
          and, ultimately, punishing companies and citizens on the basis
          of allegations."
