This is a joint collaboration between these companies to protest against the Acta law.

    Acta is a threat to fundamental rights and acces to knowledge.
    This Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement, negotiated in secret, would:

    - turn Internet operators into a private copyright police.
    - impose harsh and unfair penalties on users and consumers.
    - harm access to medicines and to essential knowledge in poor countries.
    - inhibit innovation.
    - establish new anti-democratic policy-making that bypass parliaments.

    Let’s stop ACTA!

    here’s a little video about ACTA:
