FREE THE NET! STOP ACTA!

alexserra — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 16:08:17 +0000

Many of you will have noticed today that some important sites on the net were not working properly. 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:
