Fourth European Committee Rejects ACTA

Posted by Soulskill on from the going-for-the-high-score dept.

Dangerous_Minds writes "Last month, ACTA was rejected by three European committees (the industry committee, the civil liberties committee, and the legal affairs committee). Now, a fourth European committee, the Development Committee, has voted to reject ACTA as well, making it zero for four. ZeroPaid is offering a quick timeline of the series of blows to ACTA all last month as well. The next stop for ACTA will be the Trade Committee which is scheduled to hand down a decision later this month on June 21. From there, it'll head to the full House for a vote in July."

    Outtake from the guy's bio:

    A journalist in the field since 2005 [..] With journalism techniques he's been able to pioneer in the business (such as coverage in Canada and in non-English countries), he has the skills to be at the forefront of file-sharing and technology news.

    Pioneering coverage of Canada and "non-English countries" since 2005! There have to be some serious journalism techniques in play here...
