[ardour-users] "Call for an Online-Demonstration against Software Patents"

[Jens Radloff]

Hi,

Let me inform you about the online demonstration against the 
patentability of software (=software patens) which the Commission of 
the European Union wants to introduce. As far as I understand the 
process of passing the appropriate bill in the institutions of the EU, 
the patentability of software could be possible from July 2005 on.

There is a site, run by among others Attac Germany, where you can 
protest against this, by uploading a picture of yourself:

http://demo.stoppt-softwarepatente.de/index.php?content=demo&lang=GB

"So far  3883 people have demonstrated here. The more people 
participate, the clearer a joint picture of the protest will be shown. 
Short before the decision in the European Parliament we will print this 
picture on a huge banner and show it in front of the European 
Parliament in Strasbourg. This way you can also be a part of the 
international demonstration."

Regards,


Jens
