Soon after ACTA was denied in the European Parliament, La Quadrature Du Net is implying that this is a great opportunity to build new and more viable copyright laws. Last week ACTA was voted against in the European Parliament with 478 votes against and 39 in favor, thus putting an end to the act that could have ignored your online privacy rights. Now, after this great victory, a press release by La Quadrature Du Net  is talking about how favorable this event is to start constructing better copyright laws: The European Parliament rejected ACTA1 by a huge majority, killing it for good. This is a major victory for the multitude of connected citizens and organizations who worked hard for years, but also a great hope on a global scale for a better democracy. On the ruins of ACTA we must now build a positive copyright reform2, taking into account our rights instead of attacking them. The ACTA victory must resonate as a wake up call for lawmakers: Fundamental freedoms as well as the free and open Internet must prevail over private interests. Citizens from the Internet and all around the world have won! By 478 to 0393 during the final vote, Members of the EU Parliament killed ACTA once and for all.
