From what you have seen, what has been the role of the movie and music industries in developing ACTA? Do you see evidence of privileged access?

It hard to know whether those groups have enjoyed privileged access, but it is abundantly clear that the proposals are a veritable wish-list from those organisations.

President Obama says progress on ACTA is needed while Hillary Clinton defends a free and open internet. Are they contradicting each other or is there some sort of elusive logic in the two statements?

It would appear that the usual rules do not apply in the US when it comes to copyright. Free speech, intermediary liability, net neutrality, broadband policy -- all key digital issues and all issues with carve outs or differing approaches for copyright.

New Zealand's Ministry of Economic Development tried to get traditional (Maori) intellectual property rights included in the treaty and then appears to have abandoned that attempt. Where does traditional IP stand in the debate?
