Interesting post by Glyn Moody at ComputerWorld UK: Patent Scandal of Laws Made Behind Closed Doors. This is about how IP laws like the ACTA treaty and its adoption/implementation in the UK and Europe, and a new unitary EU patent, are negotiated in secret, without normal democratic/legislative debate.

The Center for the Study of Innovative Freedom (C4SIF) is dedicated to building public awareness of the manner in which so-called “intellectual property” (IP) laws and policies impede innovation, creativity, communication, learning, knowledge, emulation, and information sharing. We are for property rights, free markets, competition, commerce, cooperation, and the voluntary sharing of knowledge, and oppose IP laws, which systematically impede or hamper innovation. IP law should be completely and immediately abolished.
We provide news commentary and analysis and scholarly resources from our unique pro-property, pro-market, pro-innovation perspective.
