   dont know if this refusal will get through or not, but it makes a change for another country not to be 'bending over and grabbing their ankles' for the US government. shame there are not more countries making a stand against ACTA and similar proposals that will, basically, only reinforce mainly US entertainment companies. hope that they ignore the Special 301 list 'warning' as well, seeing it for what it really is, a complete sham, instigated yet again, by those same industries!

   given the usual shenanigans, i wouldn't be surprised to see anything from cleverly labled but quite obvious bribes and threats through outright assassinations to cause this to fail. and forget the 301 thing. far more likely to be 'stop doing this or we'll stop buying (whatever is bought from mexico) from you or selling you (whatever important stuff is sold to mexico) to you.'

   Re:

   A phone call to the cartels about Charlie Sheen will be enough for them to take extreme action. Well, either that or Hollywood buying their opioids from China, rather than Mexico.

   Finally

   Someone is standing up for human rights, and it's Mexico of all places.

   cynic: sign or we will stop buying your drugs and selling you our guns.
   
   more likely: sign or we will stop giving you money to fight the 'war on drugs'

   a.c.: sign or we will stop giving you money to fight the 'war on drugs'
   
   more likely: You know those automatic weapons we did nothing to stop from entering your country and going to the cartels, well we've got MORE and we can do even LESS to stop them. Sign the damn treaty... I mean not a treaty.

   Re:

   The funny part is that it is all instigated by the very piracy sites and the people supporting them. Without them, there would be no need to make the rules clearer, more universal, and more easily understood.
   
   Effect, meet cause.

    shocking

    WOW. This is shocking news. I would not have expected to learn of this in a million years. I think I speak for most of the community when I say that I'm fascinated by this new development... there's a Mexican congress...

    All they have to do is bribe them. A lot of government officials are so corrupt.
