The homo ludens, the internet's industry & the European Union #2

The idea is accepted that the Homo Ludens has per se no future in market economy's rules.
But how public the idea should be?
Euractiv reports that in some international negotiations between the EU and the US on this type of issue, the US have a taste for the dark side of the force.
More precisely, the ACTA (Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement) is a draft agreement that has - many times- roused suspicions among Internet lobby groups in the EU who fear that the deal will allow any government "to come down as hard on peer-to-peer file sharing as they would on commercial piracy".
A homo ludens deprived from his addiction to free peer-to-peer in the name of the eFight against ePiracy? Ah. The principle is obviously more or less easy to accept by public authorities according to the secrecy of its negotiation. Click here to be clicked to the unveiling.
