Prime Minister Donald Tusk said the government ?would not submit to blackmail? and that the treaty would be signed. He added, though, that ?only when the government is sure that Polish law guarantees freedom on the internet, will we send the bill for ratification to parliament.?
?ACTA was accepted by countries who, like it or not, are the backbone of freedom in the whole world, namely the EU, the US, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, South Korea and Mexico."
Sigh* I don't want to live on this planet anymore...
Well yes, hipocrisy at its best as always.
But to be honest, I didn't expect that, really, at least they have not pulled out the "See guys? cyber-terrorists are allied with piracy apologists and are dangerous, this is the proof that concludes that the internet must be controled" card yet... But I wouldn't be surprised if they do.
The opposition is still growing, more senators are now opposing PIPA.

And not only that, another 5 senators opposing the bill were included at the end of the article.
Great!
Well, this are good news indeed, but even if ACTA gets killed, TPP is still lurking in the shadows waiting to show it's ugly head in the future.
