Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA)

I recently was surfing through last.fm when I stumbled across this tasty bit of information.  Apparenlty Canada has been working in secret to bring about some new laws that would force internet providers to turn over data with out a court order.  The ACTA also will allow for government agents to inspect any copied material even if it was copied legally.

But this is not just in Canada. “…the new plan would see Canada join other countries, including the United States and members of the European Union, to form an international coalition against copyright infringement.”  My question is not really of why would they want to do this, but how will they pull it off?  There are millions of people out there sharing music online through torrenting, p2p, on hosting sites, et cetera.  Just the other day I found an article on how to turn google into the next napster by using it to search file indexs of mp3’s.

Do the US, Canada and EU have enough man power to actually shut down digital copyright infringement?  I really don’t think so.  Heck I imagine even the people who are working against copyright infringment go home and download a song or two.  Common lets get this worked up about world hunger or something.  Put this energy and devotion to cleaning up the atmosphere or put the money to subsidizing gasoline.  We have bigger problems than who is listening to the music their friend gave them. What if they recorded it off the radio?  Any law against that?
