So, if I were you, I wouldn't be dancing in the aisles just yet. Look at France which has already implemented the crux of what is in the ACTA already. They didn't care one whit about what the EU Parliament thought. |

That's true but the overwhelming vote against ACTA is certainly a strong message to democratically elected officials in those individual countries. There is no way you can have legislation such as ACTA negotiated in secret and still have democracy and freedom. |

Umm... the EU Parliament will ultimately have to ratify the treaty if it is to be passed. Seeing as how they're threatening to auto-veto if it isn't at least brought to light, the ACTA is in trouble. |

YUP france now knows its not going to work too.
one thing to make jeans that look like levis and sell them entirely different to justify all the pain and suffering on a peep downloading music who isn't making any money off it. |
