Great, the 11th Feb is death to ACTA then!

Great news, the world is getting ready again to reject the imposition of insidious new laws covering the internet and copyright. Law that have been promoted and written by private medai conglomerates, and negotiated in secret, with no input from you and me, and no debates in our parliaments (at least in UK, although the EU did spend a little time on it and rejected its acceptance.)

But the fact remains that this is a bad treaty, impinging on internet freedom which equate to freedom of speech. The text has been finalised and lots of countries have signed up to it!

So let's protest, lets use every tactic we can - like the internet blackout that stopped the USA SOPA proposals.

11th February 2012

The day is 11th February and I daresay we will start to see how we can take part before then. AT least I hope so.
