I found this site 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-Counterfeiting_Trade_Agreement) to be 
rather illuminating,
especially with regard to free software.

However, this part scares me more than anything:
"


      United States

Knowledge Ecology International 
</wiki/Knowledge_Ecology_International> also filed a Freedom of 
Information Act (FOIA) 
</wiki/Freedom_of_Information_Act_%28United_States%29> request in the 
United States but had their entire request denied, with the United State 
Trade Representative's FOIA office stating it was withheld for being 
material "properly classified in the interest of national security." 
However, a recent leak has shown that the Obama administration intends 
to start an undisclosed internet chapter.^[41]" <#cite_note-HuffPo-40>
