[Sheflug] Acta: Piracy treaty dealt crucial blows in EU votes

[Richard Ibbotson <richard@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

Looks as though voting for the ACTA is not quite going the right way. 
...

" Three key EU committees have voted against the controversial Anti-
Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (Acta).  The treaty, which aims to curb 
piracy, was rejected by committees tasked with assessing its legality 
and impact on civil liberties and industry.  To date 22 member states, 
including the UK, have signed the treaty - but it is yet to be 
formally ratified.  The European Parliament will make its final decision 
on Acta in July. "
