22 from 27 member states have signed it, the rest will later (for some it needs to be ratified by the local parliament)
but still it needs to be ratified at the EU parliament also (later this year).. so there is still hope.. a small one lol


I get a kick how every law that is trying to curb piracy is turned into a Trojan horse, an attempt to take away freedom, censorship, a master plan to control us, no more free speech, disguised as something else, stripping us of our basic rights, world police, it will cause hunger, it's the end of the world. Never seen so much fear mongering in my entire life.

How about they just want to stop piracy and they need some laws with teeth to do it?

Current laws are WAY more dangerous than anything passed that may put an end to you getting free movies and videos online. But no one is blacking sites out over those, making cool After Effects videos about them, having Facebook protests and so on. But take away their free shit... oh my God... it will be the end of the world!!!!!
