ACTA

Postby Remnants » 03.03.12 7:06pm

I'm sure this is a familiar name to everyone already. I haven't heard about it for about a month or two already. What's going on? Was it repealed? Shelved like SOPA and PIPA? Is it still in the process of being signed?

From this article:
The protests led to the resignation of the EU Parliament’s rapporteur on ACTA, who criticized the public process as a “masquerade.” And also to the resignation of the Slovenia Ambassador to Japan who signed ACTA – who left office apologizing to her country and her children.
By the end of February, the EU states to suspend ACTA ratification included Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Germany, the Netherlands, Latvia, Romania, Cyprus, Estonia and Austria.


So a number of countries suspended ratification. Good so far but the battle isn't over until this agreement is taken out of existence.
In times of crisis, weakness cannot survive. But be very careful how you define strength.
