The Netherlands Rejects ACTA, and Does One Better

Posted by timothy on from the don't-hold-your-breath-for-the-us-congress-to-join dept.

New submitter Peetke writes "The Dutch House of Representatives unanimously accepted a motion to urge the Cabinet to reject ACTA [Dutch original] (if they ever get the change to do so; it may already end in the European Parliament). Additionally, an even stronger motion was accepted to reject any future treaty that may harm a free and open Internet. This is a good day for the Internet."
