Poland signs ACTA - EU Rep Quits - US Embassy tactics

Poland signed the ACTA agreement yesterday prompting additional protests by activists; that had the country's Prime Minister back up a ½ step with a vow to delay enactment until after some kind of investigation.

The negations that led up to the copyright-treaty signing were so badly compromised that the European Parliament's ACTA monitor resigned in protest on Friday.

Today Polish politicians condemned some post-signing big brothering by the US Embassy as scandalous.
said by translated Gazeta Poland :

An employee of the U.S. embassy in Warsaw to the Polish Sejm phoned and questioned about party discipline during the vote on the desideratum to the Prime Minister ws. ACTA.
It's outrageous, not subject to the administration of President Obama - politicians embarrassed comment.

The day after the vote, a representative of Embassy of the United States called the Polish Sejm, asking how committee members voted ws. ACTA.

In the morning, around 11 lady phoned the American Embassy asking how this came to a vote. Podliczyła voices and lacks some deputies. Eight were in favor, three opposed and four abstentions, well, it gives us such a sum, which is not all - told Mieczyslaw Golba of Polish solidarity.

As he spoke, a woman inquired whether there was a quorum, if so many members were present.

Grysiak journalist Bridget points out that politicians of all options are surprised and embarrassed by telephone from the embassy.

The question whether they were party discipline, that's ... scandalous - said Mr Slawomir Neumann of the PO.

Americans should cool down a little, because such behavior is interference in the internal affairs of the Polish parliament. We feel great friendship for the United States, but somewhere there are limits...

We are partners, not a subordinate parliament in Congress or the Obama administration

quote:
On Thursday, 22 EU member states including the UK signed the agreement.

The treaty still needs to be ratified by the European Parliament before it can be enacted.
EU approval after OK by 22 countries is a formality. But that won't be until June. And all the protests by then will be forgotten.

Unless the protests are still underway; due to Anonymous keeping attention on the issue.

If Anonymous had
the wealth + political clout that brought ACTA into being,
they'd also be able to purchase laws that would support their activities.

I also noticed that a torrent site torrenty.org is unaccessible by Americans(Beginnings of Acta?)

I have no problem with access to this website.

So how is ACTA different from SOPA? is it worse? Makes me wonder if it gets attention from Jon Stewart.

My biggest concern is its reference toward medicine. It will make it more difficult for people with no insurance, crappy insurance (i.e. ones that cover only generic), college broken students and seniors to get access to affordable prescriptions.

ACTA Propaganda

The INTA is a politcally powerful organization that we can thank for ACTA.

Here's an ACTA pdf they sent out, to help elected officials become Right Thinking Politicians.
