Transatlantic coalition calls for "halt" to ACTA talks

By Nate Anderson , Ars Technica

TACD is an umbrella group for consumer activists from the US and Europe, including the EFF, Public Knowledge, the Consumer Council of Norway, and UFC-Que Choisir of France (a group that also opposed the recent graduated response law there).

Late last week, it issued a lengthy resolution on intellectual property enforcement that included some strong language on ACTA. Not content with calling for a halt to negotiations, TACD demanded an end to the treaty's linguistic sleight of hand.
