Piratenpartij Nederland

The Swiss Pirate Party has recently published their STOPP-ACTA website. This is a portal designed to inform us about and coordinate our efforts against this "international trade agreement" that proposes significant infringements of our civil freedoms.

As a first step in registering your opposition to this treaty, please sign the e-petition and be one more to say NO to the governments that are promoting this monster in their attempt to control the Internet and our modern methods of communication, sharing knowledge and relating to each.

You can also join their forum or use their "Tell a Friend" system to let people know what ACTA is and why we must resist it. Let us gather facts about this agreement and inform the public so everyone can make their own opinion.
