Anti-ACTA in Poland - Page 2

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.

the Slovenian ambassador who signed the ACTA for her country, tells in her blog that she regrets it now.

Quote:

[...]
I signed ACTA out of civic carelessness, because I did not pay enough attention. Quite simply, I did not clearly connect the agreement I had been instructed to sign with the agreement that, according to my own civic conviction, limits and withholds the freedom of engagement on the largest and most significant network in human history, and thus limits particularly the future of our children.

And I read a German article that the signature of the Polish government is either canceled or at least delayed. Congrats Poland for a first success

Kekeke, I have read on Habr, that Poland was actually the only country to show their anticipation of ACTA.
