<h1>NO Software Patents in Europe</h1>
<h2>10 days of web strike Vs 20 years of patent nightmare</h2>
<div id="content">
<p>
We are protesting against <a href="http://webshop.ffii.org">software patents</a> in Europe.
</p>
<p>
Most software will become <a
href="http://swpat.ffii.org/papers/europarl0309/cons0401/index.en.html">illegal
to use in Europe</a> if this dangerous directive is adopted without proper
amending.
</p>
<p>
The <a
href="http://swpat.ffii.org/players/bolkestein/index.en.html">Commission</a>
and the <a
href="http://swpat.ffii.org/papers/europarl0309/cons0401/index.en.html">Council
of Ministers</a> are <b>covertly</b> pushing for <b>unlimited</b> patentability of software,
heavily lobbied by multinationals and patent lawyers.
They are ignoring the <a
href="http://www3.europarl.eu.int/omk/omnsapir.so/pv2?PRG=CALDOC&amp;FILE=20030924&amp;LANGUE=EN&amp;TPV=DEF&amp;LASTCHAP=31&amp;SDOCTA=2&amp;TXTLST=2&amp;Type_Doc=ANNEX&amp;POS=1">democratically voted decision</a> of the European
Parliament from 24 september 2003, which has the support of more than <a
href="http://petition.eurolinux.org">300.000 citizens</a>, <a
href="http://swpat.ffii.org/papers/eubsa-swpat0202/ceapme0309/index.en.html">2.000.000
SMEs</a>, dozens of <a
href="http://www.researchineurope.org/policy/patentdirltr.htm">economists</a>
and <a
href="http://swpat.ffii.org/papers/eubsa-swpat0202/komp0305/index.en.html">scientists</a>.
</p>
<p>
Join us in a demonstration in the streets of <a
href="http://wiki.ael.be/index.php/Demo14and15april">Brussels on 14 april
2004</a>.
</p>
<p>
