ACTA Supporters

These corporations and organizations are known to support or to have supported ACTA, some do out of greed and some out of concern about the Internet's dark alleyways. We have separated the obviously greedy and/or power-hungry to those who may have legitimate reasons. We also have a category for known converts, which we hope will fill up over time.

Greed/Power
These guys are in it for the money, or the power, or both.

The Biggest and Baddest
The worst corporate interest would be the International Intellectual Property Alliance, founded in 1984 (highly symbolic of their true purpose) and including all of the following: The Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America was also present at the ACTA negotiations, along with all of the above. These talks were happening behind closed doors from 2008 to 2011 with only corporations and non-elected government personnel plotting to take over our world.
