Dear Afroditi,
I have been fighting acta since 2008 and during the whole process I have considered ACTA completely biased towards protecting business interests, not culture, economy, consumers, the right to access to medicines, free speech and not even protecting legitimate rights to goods legally purchased. Furthermore it limits free speech and legal certainty by strentghening the current texts on DRM-tools and that it contains many provisions that are very unclear and leaves too much room of manouvre for the business itself and the court to decide and we all know who has most resources to put into a legal procedure.
Several years ago I created the blog http://acta.mpbloggar.se/ it is mostly in Swedish but if you click the issues at the top of the page you will find EN documents that describes who influenced the procedure, legal analysis of the text and much more.
The only reason all committees in the EP have voted down ACTA sofar is because of YOU and others. It is a rare example when democracy works and lobby interests fail. Nothing has changed since more than a year in the text, the only reason EP has changed its position is because of public pressure. So I really thank you and all others for standing up for our rights, if we win (extremely likely) it is your victory.
I must however warn you to be vigilant also in the future, many of the bad provisions in ACTA will come back the back-door in other legislation so stay awake and alert!
If you have any specific question that you still want to have answered please send me a new mail with "ACTA-Question" in the header and I will try to reply, but I normally get several 100's of mails each day and now with the ACTA-campaign much more, so please be patient if I am not able to answer quickly enough.
Best regards,
Carl Schlyter
