Want to know why ACTA is so controversial? Read our overview of ACTA.

The Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement, which has already been signed by eight countries, poses a dangerous threat to the inherent freedom and openess of the Internet. Under ACTA, ISPs and websites will be given more power to track what we do online, while forcing them to turn over our information and reporting our activity to the authorities -- all in the name of copyright protection! This controversial intellectual property accord, which was negotiated in secret, violates our fundamental rights to free speech and access to our culture.  

The European Parliament, which will soon hold a final consent vote on ACTA, may be our only hope to stop this dangerous agreement. A "No" vote on ACTA by the Parliament will dismantle ACTA in its current form and make countries back to the negotiating table. Call on the EU Parliament to take a stand and vote "NO" on ACTA.
