Fourth European Committee Rejects ACTA

Posted by Soulskill on Tuesday June 5, 2012 @09:52AM 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."

So that's how Greece and Spain and France are going to be bailed out - just reject ACTA and hope the MPAA throws more money that way to encourage them to reconsider.
Free money too - no pesky austerity measures or anything.

  Not according to the calculations provided by MPAA and RIAA.

Although ACTA is more than just copyright infringement enforcement, let us remember that extended copyrights are nothing more than a rights holder stealing your cultural history.
Fix that first.
