It has to be ratified in EU Parliament as well as in all national parliaments. I have no idea if this is also true outside Europe. If EU rejects it this might end up being dead treaty in all countries.

Because the world is starting to wake up and take off their blind folds. The cyber world itself is a blind fold remover.

Given that UK has just signed its funny that the BBC news has no mention of that fact.

17 hours ago this was the only report:

"Thousands march in Poland over Acta internet treaty.

The government says protesters will have their say before the treaty is ratified in Poland.

Polish sites hit in Acta attack Battle over global anti-counterfeit treaty. Thousands of protesters have taken to Poland's streets over the signing of an international treaty activists say amounts to internet censorship."

See article:
www.bbc.co.uk...

It concludes towards the end of the article:

"Poland was one of several European Union countries, including Finland, France, Ireland, Italy, Portugal, Romania and Greece, to sign the treaty on Thursday but it appeared to be the only place where it caused protest.

The agreement was signed by the US, Australia, Canada, Japan, Morocco, New Zealand, Singapore and South Korea last year."

What is scary is that I didn't know the UK had signed ACTA treaty even though I live in London. I wonder how many others are in the same boat as me.

Matters how you want to look at it. Maybe their agenda was to create it to distract us, but we as a society used that "distraction" for own advantage. Free speech, flow of information. Information is where the curious mind is. Now with the idea of censoring the internet, they block the canal of information and ultimately our civil rights.

Hate and maybe fear it.

Without control there is no power.

Even my small city joined the protests. I was there

The government went on TV and lied about ACTA. They said the negotiations were open, that the non-government organizations who didn't participate simply missed it and that ACTA will not change the Polish law - but it's all the exact opposite.

The protests were organized within just a few days and gathered thousands of people country wide. I hope we will not end here and shall continue being so vocal in the future, whenever the government crosses the line.
