[pp.int.general] EU commission declares protests as being non democratic ?

[Pirat@LennStar.de]

The story is from iRights and should be true. I asked for the protocoll,
their answer was that it was agreed with the "leaker" to only quote the
passages.

But there was already a few days ago the Music Industry and such likes
who framed the protest as an "attack on the democratic institutions of
the EU".
So it is no surprise at all hearing the Commission saying basically the
same.

Using the term "broad society" when benefitting a few industries while
damaging all the others look a bit odd, though ;)
