ACTA - a global treaty - could allow corporations to censor the
Internet. Negotiated in secret by a small number of rich countries and
corporate powers, it would set up a shadowy new anti-counterfeiting body
to allow private interests to police everything that we do online and
impose massive penalties -- even prison sentences -- against people they
say have harmed their business.

Europe is deciding right now whether to ratify ACTA -- and without them,
this global attack on Internet freedom will collapse. We know they have
opposed ACTA before, but some members of Parliament are wavering --
let's give them the push they need to reject the treaty. Sign the
petition -- we'll do a spectacular delivery in Brussels when we reach
500,000 signatures!
