The Null Device

Corporate globalisation: Fresh from their success with the WIPO treaty (which begat the DMCA, the EU Directive on Copyright and other such draconian laws), entertainment and media conglomerates are pushing for a treaty requiring nations to enforce other nations' judgments. This treaty is also favoured by European governments, hoping that they can get neo-Nazi web sites banned worldwide. Mind you, it would also enable corporations to shop around for the most friendly copyright/patent laws and have them enforced worldwide, as well as require the US government to remove Falun Gong websites if the Chinese government complains, not to mention a whole host of other consequences.
