Dutch parliament officially rejects ACTA

Good news everyone! The Dutch parliament has just officially rejected ACTA. In addition, parliament has also accepted an additional motion which prohibits the government from signing similar agreements in the future. It was originally the plan to wait for the ACTA vote in the EU parliament, but a majority in the Dutch parliament felt that ACTA was too dangerous not to throw into the bin right away, EU vote or no. I’m not exactly sure what this means for ACTA as a whole, but it’s my understanding that if one member state votes against ACTA – which we just did – it’s effectively dead in the EU.
