Stealth Treaty Seeks Strict Controls Over Internet
‘A sweeping international treaty to regulate how knowledge and creativity may flow on the Internet is now being negotiated. Haven’t heard of it? Funny thing, that’s exactly what the backers of the treaty want. The film, music, publishing and information industries don’t want a public debate about the issues or an open debate in Congress. So they have been working hand-in-glove with the U.S. Trade Representative to move U.S. policymaking offshore and throw a dark cloak of secrecy around everything. The next stop: draconian penalties for anyone who is accused of violating copyright law.’

Some time ago, I really needed to buy a good car for my corporation but I did not have enough cash and could not purchase something. Thank heaven my father proposed to get the loan from trustworthy bank. Therefore, I did so and used to be satisfied with my auto loan.
