Finland Drops EUCD For Now

Posted by michael on from the war-overseas dept.

replicant_deckard writes "Electronic Frontier Finland just got a huge legal victory. They report the local DMCA-copy (based on EU copyright directive) was dropped today at the parliament after heavy criticism. So far just two EU nations have accepted the innovation threatening law. Campaigns go on in different European states. They need your support!" cabra771 writes "The European Commission has put up a new proposal dealing with online music piracy that appears to have slightly upset a few people."

      To hell with moving, we need to import a few of them to replace our legislators with.

    Government listens to citizens! Peace comes to the world!

    More seriously I am pleased that such legislation was dropped. The less 'corrupt' CDs I see the better.

    EUCD was dropped because the EU was threatened under the DMCA for copying the DMCA.

    EU has very much less nukes and no proper delivery system anyway.
