While ACTA was negotiated behind closed doors, hundreds of thousands dicussed copyright issues on the Internet. While content industry lobbyists push to limit our fundamental rights, a movement for a free and open Internet is coming to life.
We support fair compensation for artists and creators, but we oppose the repressive demands of the content industry! We are fed up with lobbying and want our voice to be heard!
The European Parliament is likely to vote on ACTA in June or July 2012. One June 9th, there is a Europe-wide action day against ACTA. Join uns on the streets. Against ACTA. For a new copyright agenda. For digital civil rights, freedom of speech and a free Internet.
Stop ACTA!

Saturday the 9th of June 2012 will be an Europe-wide protest day against ACTA. While the European Commission is desperately trying to extend the deadline for the vote on ACTA, the event aims to remind the members of Parliament the importance of the mobilization against this trade agreement.
The European Commission has finally released the details of its referral on ACTA to the European Court of Justice (ECJ). In a press release, Commissioner De Gucht calls on MEPs not to vote until the Court renders its decision. This would suspend the procedure indefinitely.
