Summary: A European parliament member explains rather poorly his reasons for suffocating the market
LAST week we shared this annotated video which contains an explanation of what ACTA is really about. Pedro Valesco-Martins talked a lot of nonsense and spin/waffle. There's more from the same group now. The president of the FFII describes or at least summarises the following video as "Paul Ruebig MEP explains you why we urgently need ACTA (because of those black people do not pay taxes!), priceless."

He also speaks about far-east Asia and uses ethic terms alongside "black market". ACTA is eventually glorified as a solution to "financial crisis". Is this man lying with sincerity? Is Europe -- like the United States -- dominated by the copyright and patent lobby? ⬆
