[pp.int.general] Against Internet censorship

[Partidul Piratilor]

Dear Amelia,

Only now I remembered about EDRi, but is never to late.

The developments were as follows:

11 August 2010
Member of Senate (uper chamber of Romanian Parliament), Ms Lia Olguta
Vasilescu announces a proposed law to cenasor "obscene" comments on blogs
and news sites. PP Romania comented only on own website and the Facebook
page. The general public opinion was one of revolt.

25 August 2010
The same member of Senate, this time with another one and 4 more members of
Deputies Chamber, organise a "public consultation" with specialy elected
guests and announce a step back from a law to a Code for Conduit in
Internet, which will not be a law but will still be compulsory. PP Romania
wrote one article and an open letter, sent it to all those involved and
publish it on own website and Facebook. Others are also having the same
opinion.

PP Romania reaction to the consultation:

One italian pirate responded on the list and also I have received a message
from a german pirate.

Best regards,
Cristian
