What makes this legal?

The fact that it has a large corporation with lobbyists behind it

Bury it? Yeah right.

They're just waiting for the new cheques to clear and people to start looking the other way again.

Yes.

The beauty of it is, if you can telecommute to do your job, then some dude in India can do it too for half the price!

If it costs anything, then it excludes some people/groups from implementing it, therefore it ISN'T A FUCKING STANDARD!!!

Great Idea!...

Now, please tell us which mythical country that would be.

Let's burn down the observatory so this can never happen again!

Seems like the Chinese have learnt the lessons of capitalism all too well...

Now watch the freak conservative 'family' organisations mount a media blitz that results in this getting killed.

Why does it not surprise me that it's Sony behind this shit?

But for those jobs, dishonesty is a prerequisite.

So the existing laws already handle this situation, right? Customs has the power to stop/seize these shipments and prevent dangerous fakes from getting on the market.

SO WHAT THE FUCK IS THE POINT OF ACTA THEN!?!?!

Oh right, that's not what ACTA is about. That part is just the feel-good clause, while the rest if it is designed to fuck over everyone but the content cartels.

yup, but finding an autoclave big enough is a major problem...

Err... You do realize you're ALL on the Government's watch list now?

Move along, citizen.

It's out in the open, and people don't have to bother trying to fight a case that is obviously a foregone conclusion.
