00:00:00.544 --> 00:00:06.396
Can you imagine your Internet Service Provider policing everything you do online?

00:00:06.627 --> 00:00:13.445
Can you imagine generic drugs that could save lives being banned?

00:00:14.306 --> 00:00:21.085
Can you imagine seeds that could feed 1000's being controlled and withheld in the name of patents?

00:00:21.085 --> 00:00:24.596
This will become reality with ACTA.

00:00:24.596 --> 00:00:29.348
ACTA is the Anti Counterfeiting Trade Agreement

00:00:29.348 --> 00:00:32.821
Disguised as a Trade Agreement, ACTA goes much,

00:00:32.821 --> 00:00:35.627
much further than that.

00:00:35.627 --> 00:00:42.772
For the past 3 years, ACTA has been negotiated in secret by 39 countries.

00:00:42.772 --> 00:00:47.284
But the negotiators are not democratically elected representatives.

00:00:47.284 --> 00:00:52.347
They don't represent us, but they are deciding laws behind our backs.

00:00:52.347 --> 00:00:55.676
Bypassing our democratic processes,

00:00:55.676 --> 00:01:00.990
they impose new criminal sanctions to stop online filesharing.

00:01:00.990 --> 00:01:04.793
ACTA aims to make Internet Service & Access Providers

00:01:04.793 --> 00:01:08.642
legally responsible for what their users do online,

00:01:08.642 --> 00:01:11.684
turning them into Private Copyright Police & Judge,

00:01:11.684 --> 00:01:15.169
censoring their networks.

00:01:15.307 --> 00:01:20.555
The chilling effects on free speech would be terrible.

00:01:20.555 --> 00:01:22.876
In the name of patents,

00:01:22.876 --> 00:01:29.145
ACTA would give large corporations the power to stop generic drugs before they reach the people who need them,

00:01:29.145 --> 00:01:33.907
and to stop the use of certain seeds for crops.

00:01:33.907 --> 00:01:37.735
The European Parliament will soon vote on ACTA.

00:01:37.735 --> 00:01:40.550
This vote will be the occasion to say no

00:01:40.550 --> 00:01:42.236
once and for all

00:01:42.236 --> 00:01:45.070
to this dangerous treaty.

00:01:45.070 --> 00:01:50.934
As citizens, we must urge our representatives to reject ACTA.

00:01:51.580 --> 00:01:55.787
NO TO ACTA.
