"IPRED2", a
proposed EU directive to criminalise copyright, patent, and
trademark infringement, will be voted on next week in Strasbourg.
The MEPs are talking about it in their meetings this week, so it is
important to contact them as soon as possible to tell them what we
think.
I will be
sending an
open letter from FSFE to the MEPs tonight, after translations
are completed.
The proposed text, in all formats and languages, can be found
on the
proposal's eur-lex page. FSFE endorses amending that text
with the
compromise amendments hosted on FFII's site.
The status of the Directive can be followed
on the
proposal's Legislative Observatory page.
And more
information can be found on the Copy
Crime website, and
on FSFE's IPRED2
page. In particular, it is worth signing
the petition on the Copy
Crime site.
