.Bulgaria will not take any steps to ratify the Anti- Counterfeiting Trade Agreement, known as ACTA, and ''practically stops its participation'' in it until there is a clear European Union position on the pact, which seeks to curb online theft of copyrighted materials, Economy and Energy Minister Traicho Traikov said today, adding that he expects the Cabinet to back his proposal tomorrow.
.I'm a pessimist when it comes to regulating an industry, which hasn't adapted to the digital age, through sanctions rather than market means, Traikov told reporters in Sofia today. Authors' copyrights should not be placed above human rights.
