Time to control the Actors
Anyone of the opinion the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) like the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and the PROTECT IP Act (Preventing Real Online Threats to Economic Creativity and Theft of Intellectual Property Act, or PIPA is thought to protect intellectual properties and nothing but intellectual properties? The intellectual properties of artists? Of musicians? Of writers? Of philosophers even? Of ... politicians?
The peace of the night.
Kader Arif, the European Parliament's rapporteur for the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (Acta), resigned over the issue on Friday (January 27th).
He said he had witnessed "never-before-seen manoeuvres" by officials preparing the treaty.
More at the BBC.
And here the quintessence of what Monsieur Arif said, in English, French, German, Swedish.
The peace of the night.
