Post Good News: ACTA treaty is dead in the EU
http://www.theverge.com/2012/7/4/313677 ... ament-meps

Quote:
The EU Parliament has today voted to reject the controversial anti-counterfeiting trade agreement (ACTA). The vote was staggeringly one-sided, with 478 votes against, 146 abstentions, and just 39 in favor. The 'no' vote essentially ends any chance of ACTA coming into effect in its current state.

Don't celebrate just yet.

Whilst the bill is dead as is, it could still be partially resurrected and parts of it could still surface in the EU Court of Justice.
