![[the ACTA tapdance]
(for Tony Clement)
Suddenly showing concern for kids’
smutty flickrs and iTunes’sales figures,
Truthy-Tony swipes at the rights
of pesky urchins to bend digital data into any e-envelope.
Caught with his WIPO pulled down, Truthy-Tony
squirrels away, face safe in his camera-free
sanctuary. Here he’ll draft an act that lets
his ministry
sift its sticky fingers
through each packet sent across Bell’s monopolied
copper lines. In wait of ACTA’s backdoor pass
Truthy-Tony salivates: his pals get to pick
which bits of internet get to stick and which
infringe against NBC and CTV’s interest to maintain
information’s status unflux.
If Tony’s ACTA lasts
ratification, those caught with fingers-ful
of illicit 1s and 0s will have their hands lopped
off at their ethernet’s wrists.
