ACTA: The new threat to the net
Click here to stop the newest threat to Internet freedom
A new global treaty could allow corporations to police what we do on the Internet. Last week we successfully pushed back the US censorship bills -- if we act now, we can get the EU Parliament to bury this new threat -- add your voice now!

Der ACTA-Berichterstatter des Parlaments der EU hat heute seinen Job hingeschmissen und findet dafür die richtigen Worte:
Kader Arif, rapporteur for ACTA in the European Parliament quit his role as rapporteur saying:
"I want to denounce in the strongest possible manner the entire process that led to the signature of this agreement: no inclusion of civil society organisations, a lack of transparency from the start of the negotiations, repeated postponing of the signature of the text without an explanation being ever given, exclusion of the EU Parliament's demands that were expressed on several occasions in our assembly."
"As rapporteur of this text, I have faced never-before-seen manoeuvres from the right wing of this Parliament to impose a rushed calendar before public opinion could be alerted, thus depriving the Parliament of its right to expression and of the tools at its disposal to convey citizens' legitimate demands."
"Everyone knows the ACTA agreement...

Just Say 'No' to ACTA
If you thought SOPA and PIPA were bad, let us introduce you to their Big Brother, ACTA.
The Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement, which has already been signed by several countries, poses a dangerous threat to the inherent freedom and openess of the Internet. Under ACTA, ISPs and websites will be given more power to track what we do online, while forcing them to turn over our information and reporting our activity to the authorities -- all in the name of copyright protection! While we respect the rights of creators, ACTA's ill-conceived provisions will have chilling effects on free speech everywhere.

ACTA: prosecution for communication?
Published: 27 January, 2012, 06:57
Edited: 27 January, 2012, 11:26
The ACTA copyright protection treaty, which has recently been signed in Poland, represents outdated copyright legislation that could lead to punishment just for an act of communication.
That is according to Jaroslaw Lipszyc from Internet Society Poland who believes that the current intellectual property system, which Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement is designed to protect, does not work in the digital age. "What we are advocating is a modern view on copyright and intellectual property systems," he says.
In Lipszyc's opinion the problems with ACTA is that it will freeze the system as it is now and make it impossible to change in the future.
"We need a system which is flexible and which adapts to innovative economy," he insists.
