Concludo dicendo che questa opera di infiltrazione non riguarda
solo l'UE ma anche gli USA, dove i 5 avvocati di punta della RIAA
ora sono, per nomina diretta del Presidente, tutti al Dipartimento
della Giustizia. Uno di essi, per inciso, è il Vice Procuratore
Generale degli Stati Uniti d'America.

Beh! Lupus in fabula...
"Copyright czar cozied up to Big Content, e-mails show
[...]
The records show the government clearly had a voice in the
closed-door negotiations, though it was not a signatory to the
historic accord [private agreement between ISPs and copyright
industry to force disconnection of users suspected of copyright
infringements in the USA without judicial overview - so called 6
strikes: six allegations by private actors and you're out],
which isn’t an actual government policy.
[...]
the communications show that a wide range of officials—from Vice
President Joe Biden’s deputy chief of staff Alan Hoffman, the
Justice Department’s criminal chief Lanny Breuer to copyright czar
Victoria Espinel—were in the loop well ahead of the accord’s
unveiling.
“These kind of backroom voluntary deals are quite scary,
particularly because they are not subject to judicial review. I
wanted to find out what role the White House has played in the
negotiation, but unfortunately, the OMB (Office of Management and
Budget) withheld key documents that would shed further light on it,”
Soghoian said when asked why he sought the documents. He is
appealing to OMB to disclose more e-mails."
