<div>On Spanish Pirate Party we are very concerned about SOPA and also ACTA (I may reminder this <a href="http://barrapunto.com/~asurancetorix/journal/36560">http://barrapunto.com/~asurancetorix/journal/36560</a> || English version: <a href="http://www.laquadrature.net/en/acta-adopted-by-eu-governments-now-in-eu-parliaments-hands">http://www.laquadrature.net/en/acta-adopted-by-eu-governments-now-in-eu-parliaments-hands</a> ) so please, guys, don't forget ACTA exists and it's near to approval if we don't do something.<br>
</div><div><br></div><div>But also we are VERY worried about a local law called "ley sinde", it's mostly like SOPA but applied to Spain (yeah, I know SOPA affects to all the world, but we also exists and we like our freedom :P). This law is already approved but not regulated so not applied yet, and we (not only Spanish Pirate Party, but also hacktivistas and other activists movements) are fighting to try that law never get regulated and not to apply. Also now with the new change of government (now is ruling extreme-right), and also our internal elections (we have renovated all charges on all our party organs), well... we have lot of work to do lol, but we are working hard and always fighting for freedom :)</div>

As you may know the SOPA bill has been delayed for now.<br>
But with the delay of SOPA it probably gets worse with it.<br>
...and probably there will be future bills that will be way more worse<br>
than this one if we don't start to fix democracy in the US (and<br>
elsewhere).<br>
Read this interview with Lawrence Lessig, the lawyer that invented<br>
Creative Commons, to find out why<br>

Furthermore I found this post interesting that explains a probable<br>
perspective of some in the congress here<br>

I can't directly link to the post it seems; use CTRL+F "Popping in to<br>
clear up something."<br>
