  +1 and if anyone wondered, LibreOffice as a product/software is
much
more impacted by ACTA than it is by SOPA and PIPA.


Hi

+1

But IMHO the subject also is more complex than SOPA, we should have
a well founded and well worded statement on the website, not only a
banner.

Best regards

Rainer

  +1

Then we might need one page and a banner redirecting to it.

Best,

more information and stories appeared in my inbox a couple of minutes ago.

What's Wrong With ACTA

The secret treaty: Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) and Its
Impact on Access to Medicines
http://www.msfaccess.org/content/secret-treaty-anti-counterfeiting-trade-agreement-acta-and-its-impact-access-medicines

What we need is a good info page stating what ACTA is about - as it effects packages like LO. I heard of this ACTA only yesterday so we need to have some good info. Also, I thing we need to include text about what all these proposed [and enacted] laws/regulations are meant to do, but what their impact would be for legal file transfer sites and open-source/FOSS packages being shared via the Internet. There has been legal file swapping sites being shut down because a group states that they are doing something wrong - even if they are not. These attempts to reduce, or even wipe out, piracy is harming the flow of legal file sharing or sites that allow you to legally download files like LO and other legally sharable software and multimedia. I host a LO web site, which is a "testing portal" for my DVD. If I understand some of these regulations, I may have to close that portal since I do not own the copyrights to LO and the FOSS packages withing the online version of my DVD. So a real good page about piracy regulation [proposed and enacted] and sharing LO/FOSS is really needed.
