I read a more balanced report about this on the BBC News (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-18704192) this morning, but I don't know what ACTA was proposed to do, so I had no thoughts about it.

Why? The EU decision is a good one, ACTA is repugnant.

Great news.

Thank heavens sanity prevailed, at least in this instance.

It did indeed..But don't think those who want to control the net will take their little red wagons and go home..This fight will go on for who knows how long.

Eu Parliament is a bit misleading since it's not a real Parliament. But yeah, glad they rejected it.
