[quote:Anonymous Coward 9175077:MV8xNzY2MDU1XzI5MzA4NTUyXzQxNDcxRTE3] Thousands march in Poland over Acta internet treaty Thousands of protesters have taken to Poland's streets over the signing of an international treaty activists say amounts to internet censorship. Prime Minister Donald Tusk's government signed the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement in Tokyo on Thursday. The treaty, known as Acta, aims to establish international standards to enforce intellectual property rights. But critics say it could curb freedom of expression, and government websites have been hacked in protest. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-16735219 http://rt.com/news/acta-poland-internet-government-745/ [/quote]
Original Message
The Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) – which is seen by critics to be an international version of the controversial SOPA bill – was been signed by the EU and member countries, including Ireland and Poland, at a ceremony in Tokyo today.
Despite protests in Warsaw that saw 20,000 people take to the streets, Poland signed the controversial ACTA deal in Tokyo, Poland's ambassador to Japan, Jadwiga Rodowicz-Czechowska, told Polish media.
