Default ACTA is about to succeed

Sorry to those people who thought the SOPA/PIPA threads weren't enough, but I felt the need to share this with you guys.

So here's the deal

Begleitet von heftigen Protesten hat die Europäische Union einen internationalen Pakt gegen Produktpiraterie unterzeichnet. Das Handelsabkommen zur Abwehr von Fälschungen wurde in Tokio von Vertretern der EU und von 22 der 27 Mitgliedsstaaten unterschrieben, teilte das japanische Außenministerium mit. Deutschland war lediglich aus formalen Gründen noch nicht dabei, sagte ein Sprecher des Bundesjustizministeriums. Nach der Unterzeichnung muss das Abkommen noch vom Europaparlament und den nationalen Parlamenten gebilligt werden.
What this text says in tl;dr version:

- ACTA got signed by 22 of 27 memberstates of the EU (plus other states around the world)
- Excessive protests have been going on apparently
- ACTA has yet to be permitted by the european parlament and national parlaments


Here's a "more english" article
