Acta

ACTA, or the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement, is an international treaty aimed at improving copyright and trademark enforcement. It seeks to combat the production and distribution of counterfeit goods and copyright infringement across borders. While it encourages cooperation between countries to protect intellectual property rights, critics argue it may overly restrict online freedoms and privacy. The agreement has been controversial, sparking debates about balancing the rights of creators with the public's rights to access information. ACTA is designed to strengthen legal tools for enforcement but has faced significant opposition and was never ratified by the European Union.
