@ Jazz:

Yeh. Several people have told me about that.

I said in a TechDirt comment, “Anyne who knows p2pnet, or me, will also know that’s a huge load of old bollocks.”

Cheers!

Don’t waste your time with a2f2a
by Henry Emrich

It’s basically a major-label front operation:

Two of the biggest “contributors” there are Billy Bragg (board member of FAC), and Indiana Gregg (self-proclaimed “anti-piracy activist”.) Jon newton (who, ironically enough, also runs p2pnet.net (a p2p-related news portal), is either a dupe, or has been “bought off” in some way.

of course you couldn’t get your point across. Neither could I, because Bragg & Co. simply don’t want to learn anything.

A2f2a (and p2pnet) are a total waste of effort, as I learned the hard way.

BREIN pleads for inclusion of online environment in ACTA

In a letter to undersecretary for Economic Affairs Heemskerk, BREIN clarifies why the organisation thinks it is important that the ACTA negotiations do include digital distribution.

According to BREIN, the production of intellectual property contributes for 5,9% to the Dutch economy and is an important export product for The Netherlands. When copyright is not enforced, not only content producers suffer, but indirectly also society as a whole through missed tax income, loss of employment and decreasing culturl diversity.

Therefore, BREIN requests the undersecretary to make policies to counter any kind of piracy in the ACTA negotiations, including piracy in the online environment.
