Anti-ACTA in Poland

ACTA is signed by the EU, but that just means there is an intention to implement it. It has yet to be ratified by the European Parliament in June and then it might be put in place.

There's still a chance. If you're European, contact your MEP and make them vote against!

By the way, while the White House was publicly against SOPA, they did sign ACTA. However, the US (disrespecting international treaties as always

) has said it only views ACTA as a guideline, which is in this case lucky for us, but pissing off the EU of course, because when they sign something they mean to follow it. This does show us the EU knows ACTA brings commercial disadvantages to the party following the treaty.

In any case, for the EU, we still have until June to stop it.
