Union des Consommateurs online ACTA meeting

[p2p rules]

The entertainment industry’s ACTA [Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement] is more than merely another transparent ploy designed to keep consumers around the world under tight corporate control

If it’s passed in its present form, it’ll not only turn countries into marketing and free-fire copyright enforcement divisions, even worse, boardrooms will replace governments.

Quebec consumer protection group the Union des Consommateurs, at the forefront of organisations protesting the ‘agreement’, has organised an online press conference for tomorrow announcing a joint declaration calling on governments everywhere to ensure their citizens’ rights are protected.

The conference will be recorded and posted on the union’s web site.

‘Who should oppose ACTA? Everyone.’

[DaBees-Knees]

Both internet users and our political representatives, by their ignorance and apathy about what is taking place at ACTA, are about to allow the biggest restriction of internet freedom ever. Sadly, all WinMx News can do is draw peoples attention to it and hope they wake up in time. Most probably won't realise what is going on until it's too late.
