"I would hope that the others ISPs would follow suit," said Dick Doyle, chief executive of the Irish Recorded Music Association, which represents the major labels. "They have seven days to respond or we will go down the legal route."
That's why we need to promote transparency (which is the subject on this article). We need to make EU closer to people. "Media pay no attention" ? Well, euronews speaks about it. Other media don't ? Well let's watch the good media then. Also we have to promote actions like La quadrature. Laquadrature watches EU when they vote something concerning freedom and internet.
Completely agree. We need more transparency and it is good to know what organisations and news services pay attention to what is happening re. privacy and freedom on the Net.
Thanks for the link to La quadrature!
If it actually starts down the path to ratification, it will not be secret. For example, in the EU, it will have to be submitted to the legislative bodies for approval. In the US, it has to be submitted to the Senate and receive a 2/3 vote and then be signed by the President. I don't know offhand how other counties deal with ratifying treaties--I'm sure you can find out if you look.
At the moment when it gets down to ratification then the content of the treaty is probably not gonna change much. Maybe some countries will delay ratification but if the interests of the recording, etc. industry are involved then they will probably find a way.
If people want to have any say in what the treaty will look like then we need to be informed about it now. And not when it is up for just a "yes or no" vote.
