what happened?

Piracy victory !

internet wins once again?

great news

it's but a small victory as they will keep trying to pass laws like this until they succeed.

sweden's about to get its own stasi soon probably, if we haven't already.

well, the end results of the voting ended 21 to 15.. out of a total of 577 potential voters.. 36 members out of 577 voted.. good job, france

still proud? i wouldn't be

I already considered that matter before you came in! But thanks for the reminder

yeah, having it's president being the forefront of internet censorship and destroyer of democratic rights sure is 'proud'-material at it's finest.. but thanks for almostly putting europe on the path to totalitarianism

UK was "almost there" before we were :)

but sarkozy have put effort into getting the agenda to euro parliament

If by being being on the forefront you mean he got promised something from some lobbyists then you are probably right...

zing

Yeah proud to pay these guys to go earlier in holydays and miss an important vote x)

it probobly wont be the last idiot with a stupid proposal either.. anyways, congrats

yeah, next week they'll try to pass that law again anyway

yeah, or wait for a while and try to sneek it by the crowds by removing some part, and changing the name of the suggested law.. damn politicians, they're the same in all countries..

That's exactly what happened with the "European Constitution"!

yeah it's disturbing really how easy it is for politicians to pass that kind of laws without the general population even noticing or getting a say in the matter.

it's us versus them, never forget

BAGUETTTE! I'll leave sweden for france asap.

You would make a great mistake by doing so xD

actually it can't be any worse than living in sweden atm.. All full of people trying to fool you into IPRED.. BURN!

like..seriously? they are actively fishing for ´pirates´ to sue?

rly. they are.

execpt that the low is supposed to be voted again in a new version :/

you must be high

the politicians must be high*

no I'm just drunk!

c'est sur ça que wata te taquine :p

ah =D

nexrt up should be a law that whenever someone tells a lie or delivers incomplete information in a public speech he should be warned three times and if he does it again he is banned from ever talking again.

esr would cease to exist in constant time :(

hmmm true :/

edited statement for greater justice!

gg imo

"contribute to a raising of consciousness"
I'm sure denying people the access to Internet would "raise the consciouness", lol
Christine Albanel should be shot.

What are we, some subject rats in their laboratory?
