We need CopyR reform not ACTA

We Need Copyright Reform, Not ACTA! As a Member of the European Parliament, I very much welcome the increased attention the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) has received in the past weeks.

We Need Copyright Reform, Not ACTA!

It has taken a while for massive outcry to emerge, but we are seeing protest voices getting louder and louder. The internet is a great tool to alert politicians to all the dangers of this treaty, just as the internet was a tool to mobilize people against the SOPA and PIPA bills in the US. For any lobby to be effective, however, it must be fact based. Misinformed criticism helps those supporting ACTA.
