American Citizen Detained At Border Due To Drawing Of An SUV - Techdirt, 10/9/08
American Citizen Detained At Border Due To Drawing Of An SUV:
"If you want to understand why we're so troubled by the ACTA treaty that many nations are working on in secret, we just need to look at a story highlighted recently at Boing Boing about an American woman who was detained for a while at the US-Canadian border because she had a drawing of an SUV. The customs officials accused her of being an industrial spy and copyright infringer. In actuality, she's a professor and artist, who was doing an art project involving an SUV."
