The European Parliament has voted to reject the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (Acta).

The proposed agreement sought to curb piracy, but internet campaigners said it posed a threat to online freedoms.

The rejection vote followed a failed attempt to postpone the decision because of ongoing investigations into Acta by the European Court of Justice.

  1. Last time I sent out an email to the EP I received one answer from Sophie in ‘t Veld, who has been fighting against Acta all along. This time I received 10, all stating they would vote against.
