We believe that IPRED2’s new criminal sanctions pose a risk to legitimate business and respect for individual freedoms in the EU.

We ask that the European Parliament approve amendments that would remove the new crimes of “aiding, abetting, or inciting” and limit the directive to combat only trademark counterfeiting and true commercial-scale copyright piracy.

I signed. You should too.

I believe that:

• Data retention is an invasive tool that interferes with the private lives of everyone;
• Retaining personal data on everyone is an illegal practice in terms of Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights, as it is disproportionate;
• Security gained from retention may be illusory, as it is likely that traffic data that is associated to one individual may actually be linked to activity taken by another, or by a process that is unrelated to the activities of that user;
• The means through which this policy is being pursued is illegitimate, as some member states who have failed to pass this policy through their own Parliaments are now trying to push it through the EU instead in the name of harmonisation and international cooperation.
