Stop ACTA in Malta! - Online Petition

Target: Members of the EU Parliament in Malta
Region: Malta
Background (Preamble):
ACTA - a global treaty - could allow corporations to censor the Internet. Negotiated in secret by a small number of rich countries and corporate powers, it would set up a shadowy new anti-counterfeiting body to allow private interests to police everything that we do online and impose massive penalties -- even prison sentences -- against people they say have harmed their business.

Here is a video with a better explanation:

Petition:
As concerned Maltese citizens, we call on you to stand for a free and open Internet and reject the ratification of the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA), which would destroy it.

The Internet is a crucial tool for people around the world to exchange ideas and promote democracy. We urge you to show true leadership and protect our rights.
