Acta: Controversial anti-piracy agreement rejected by EU
- molmalo 14y agoWhile this is really good news, and should be celebrated, I'm still asking myself if this would have been approved if a draft wouldn't have leaked. However, we must not rest on our laurels, as I'm sure something else will appear sooner than later to replace ACTA.
- Fargren 14y agoWe really need an act to forbid this kind of laws. That's the only way we are going to end this ridiculous cycle of "propose absurd and overreaching law"=>"protest"=>"law rejected"=>"propose another silly law". Otherwise one of these will pass eventually (like CISPA) and that's really what we are trying to avoid.
