Piracy

Piracy:
Internet providers such as Bell and Rogers in Canada would be required to become copyright police and pirated materials from their networks. Customers believed to be infringing copyrights, and the use of identity blocking software.
An ACTA is Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement. People believed to be downloading copy-protected material, such as movies, and music files. Internet connections could be severed up for 12 months and be forced to pay a fine.
It would make it illegal for consumers to make backup copies of DVDs or other media with a built in copy protection technology.
Other providers could make information on IPods, laptops, and other personal electronic devices illegal and force travellers to prove to border officials that the content on such devices was acquired through legal channels.
In my opinion I agree with piracy because, everyone should be required to pay a set amount of money to download different movies, or music files. It is not fair to the other people that have researched to music or the movie.

This is a very nice report. And i like the addition of the copyright police. You may have been able to include more information about the ACTA.
