Don't get me wrong. My only concern was that a *demonstration* can be 
counter-productive. And it may worth while to acknowledge that the (limited 
number of people) who are engaged in the fight against copyright and for 
privacy have alternatives for activism. Like myself. The end effect may be 
that there will be no Dutch PP at all, eventually. Noute that in NL only 
.667% of votes is needed for a parliament seat, so act responsibly!
