And just so you know NlWino, We are protected by Dutch law that renders ACTA ineffective, even if it passes by June, it won't do shit to us. We are just enjoying how Brein fails and still acts proud without knowing what the fuck is going on with XS4All and Ziggo. Happy pirating brah.

Also the real petitition going on which had reached 1 million+ signatures in less than a week:

Update, 14:47: Nederland heeft het acta-verdrag nog niet ondertekend, laat Europarlementariër Schaake na navraag weten. De Nederlandse ambassadeur zou niet op tijd toestemming hebben gekregen om het document te ondertekenen; de reden is onduidelijk. Waarschijnlijk gebeurt dit binnenkort alsnog.

Local(national) laws have to adapt to international laws and agreements. So if the Netherlands sign ACTA the government also agrees to adapt the dutch laws to ACTA.

Dat was toendertijd, hij was al getekend daarna. Hij moest gewoon wachten en daarna werd het gewoon getekend, alleen stond dat niet in het artikel. Ik weet wanneer ik iets post en de datum van dat artikel bewijst al genoeg. Ze hadden immers wat beters te doen dan een oud artikel weer te updaten en gingen door met hun dagelijks behoefte.

And those articles are respectively Article 93 and 94. But they can get dropped, if our parliament agrees to and can oversee it and still let Acta be active without disturbing anything. I read the different discussions thoughtfully and use those as a source.

A number of countries agreed to support ACTA, including the US.(although theres quite a bit debate over that, Obama agreed to it, even though Congress has authority over international trade agreements, not the President) However theres still quite a bit scuffle over it in the EU, where several countries like Germany and Poland have out right refused to supprt ACTA in its current state, and in order for it to be ratified it requires unanimous approval from the entire EU. But its still not actually dead yet, right now ACTA has been sent to the ECJ(the highest court in the EU) for them to decide if ACTA does infact violate EU rights.
If the ECJ comes back and its their opinion that ACTA does infact violate the rights of the EU than it will pretty much be dead at that point. However, considering that EU lawmakers had been conspiring in secret since 2008 on the ACTA bill, I'm not particularly inclined to trust that the ECJ will come back with an honest review of the bill.

Obama also called NDAA unconstitutional and said he would fight it, then turned around and signed it into law the moment it hit his desk. I have every belief that if SOPA/PIPA had made it to Obama he would have signed them without giving it a second thought.

Atleast with ACTA it won't actually effect us if it fails to pass in the EU, since the agreement to abide by ACTA's rules would be null and void.

You should belive my friend who lives in Canada.
Canada signed it 2 years ago
They forced it one them in secrecy.
The same goes for USA.

Oh and it hasn`t been rejected, the EU parlament won`t vote on it before in June.

You know its really sad when you look at the attitudes of the EU politicians. In the US support for SOPA and PIPA evaporated literally over night after only one day of organised protest. Now granted it being an election year helped, but still, they realized their constituents were against it and backed down. On the other hand, people have been protesting ACTA for months, with large scale protests and yet the EU politicians are still trying to ram ACTA down the people's throat.
