Looks like while the SOPA was delayed in USA, ACTA was just signed in EU: http://bit.ly/sVF07v http://bit.ly/sVF07v More on ACTA: http://www.guardian.co.uk/te

  I don't think it was actually signed yet, but they've agreed on signing it. So yeah, it's a foregone conclusion, a matter of days - if not hours - before the Commission signs it. The Parliament is a separate matter. I think they're just going into holiday recess, then in January they'll vote Schultz as the new Speaker and then they'll vote on ACTA. There's still a chance to stop it, especially since the Parliament is more skeptical. Contact your representatives in the EU Parliament and threaten to vote for someone else in the next election if they support this oppressive Act!!!

    Unfortunately Canada plans to support this too, and our current Conservative government steamrolls any and all legislation on their agenda right through the house. Our senate is functionally useless, so it's essentially a foregone conclusion.
