Help stop infection of Europe with failed US software patent law

STOP Software Patents!
We are asking our representatives in the European Parliament to
save Europe from software patents by following the
Buzek-Rocard-Duff amendments.
The Software Patents Directive, as approved by the European
Council of Ministers, would legalise US-style Software
Patents in the European Union.

If that happens, software developers will no longer own what they write and can be sued for selling or distributing their own software.
This would not only endanger your job, but the entire
European software sector.
On Wed the 6th of July, the European Parliament will have the last
chance to prevent this. To do so, 367 of the 732 members must be present and
vote for the right amendments.
