American lobbyists had direct access to the drafting of the treaty while the european parliament was told it was secret for them due to national security issues. No comment necessary.
Furthermore they are doing this with full knowledge that it is solely threatening civil rights / creates censorship and does not provide any real benefits or would otherwise be required. Out of the 27 EU states only 11 were recently able to fiddle / write up at least some minimal justification for the underlying data collections and storage that will then enable ACTA. Most of the countries did not even provide data back to the EU commission.
Like most of the times in history when such powers were "lawfully" provided to governments or special groups within society it might not be the government(s) bringing in such foul regulations it's the ones that follow after them who will fully exploit these unconstitutional measures.
Let's hope that the Stop ACTA movement will take up speed and people will listen before these rules are ratified by the countries.
Otherwise soon a very few will make some extra billions exploiting society while we all will pay with our civil rights, or freedom and certainly also with hundreds of billions of our monies.
