That is good news.

Rarely do I have a word of praise for the EU (substitute NEVER for 'Rarely') but I have to do so now. Shockingly, the EU has responded to the feelings of the vast majority of concerned citizens, and closed the door to this horrible piece of legislation, sponsored mainly by the music and movie industry fat cats.

Nothing wrong with the thread, Solarmystic. Great piece of news!

Why Aye, marrer!

Good news indeed.
The way of handling ACTA/PIPA/SOPA is just silly anyway.
