Belita Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Good news for european internet users!! The committees of the European Parliament voted against the the Anti-Counterfeiting Trader Agreement (Acta)! As you know, and some months ago this was major concern for all internet users, ACTA, SOPA and PIPA where threatening our freedom to use the internet. Finally one good news... ACTA was REJECTED, at least at the european parliment. If you wish to know more, read this article here.

Karin Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 This is a great news! Thank you for announcing it! I was so stressed with this Sopa and Pipa and then with Acta. I'm really happy they decided to reject it! rabbit2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belita Posted July 9, 2012 Author Share Posted July 9, 2012 It is indeed good news guys, that's why i wanted to share it with you. Funny thing is, there was actually a small revolution when came to light ACTA was going to be voted here in europe, but surprisingly there wasn't much news when they rejected it. I found that article by mere coincidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jin. Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Bob, ACTA is not only of the Europe, if they passed everything with success, then even your internet was blown up, in every countries since some countries already blocked illegal sharing sites allot thanks to ACTA, SOPA and PIPA. But already a big side of the world denied them, now the other side, and the other groups to vote against. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faustus Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 This is excellent news! You're right also - it's weird that this isn't being reported with the same pomp that the propositions were in the first place. Thank goodness for the EU! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
