What we need is a good info page stating what ACTA is about - as it 
effects packages like LO.  I heard of this ACTA only yesterday so we 
need to have some good info.  Also, I thing we need to include text 
about what all these proposed [and enacted] laws/regulations are meant 
to do, but what their impact would be for legal file transfer sites and 
open-source/FOSS packages being shared via the Internet.  There has been 
legal file swapping sites being shut down because a group states that 
they are doing something wrong - even if they are not.  These attempts 
to reduce, or even wipe out, piracy is harming the flow of legal file 
sharing or sites that allow you to legally download files like LO and 
other legally sharable software and multimedia.  I host a LO web site, 
which is a "testing portal" for my DVD.  If I understand some of these 
regulations, I may have to close that portal since I do not own the 
copyrights to LO and the FOSS packages withing the online version of my 
DVD.  So a real good page about piracy regulation [proposed and enacted] 
and sharing LO/FOSS is really needed.
