Introducing La Quadrature du Net

Jul, 4 2012 : Final vote on ACTA

A victory for grassroots lobbying

The victory of an international coalition

ACTA opposants = Internet hacktivists, Free Culture movement, but also

associations working on anti-AIDS drugs, on seeds, etc... and librarians !

After ACTA, from a defensive victory to an offensive positive agenda on copyright

After ACTA => CETA, TAFTA (TIPP), TPP... etc. Lawrence Lessig « Copyright maximalism is an insane endless warrior »

Defining a positive agenda on copyright reform

http://www.laquadrature.net/en/elements-for-the-reform-of-copyright-and-related-cultural-policies

Not only exceptions, but new positive cultural rights for people

Grassroots lobbying is still working very well...

9500 replies to the consultation => 58 % are from individual citizens !!!

But it's not enough...

White Paper on EU copyright written before the analysis of the consultation ?

We have learned a lot, but they learned too... What will be the next ACTA ?

« commercial scale » counterfeiting, « non-legislative measures », extra-judicial application of copyright law = the next ACTA will be contractual...
