Europeans, Tweak Your Representatives On Patents
zoobab writes "The FFII is launching a call for
action to push European candidates to answer questions on Software
Patents. Alan Cox has also written a open letter in
which he points out that those European elections are an opportunity for
each citizen to have the choice and to make the politicians listen. Get the
questionnaire and send it to the candidates
of your country!"
IMHO any country that wants to implement a DMCA type law need a kick in the junk.
If you pay your taxes you support terrorism!
Nothing will help anyway, it's nice that they're trying, but we're doomed. Most of the people don't care/don't know about this, a few geeks who are against software patents won't help that. The large companies want more and more money and this is just one of their victories. They don't care that their plans to become richter and bigger limit the information age this way, they're happy it's so easy in todays politics to get such easy victories. We can only hope this will end some day later, but for now we're doomed.
