Podeu firmar la carta oberta als ministres a: http://demo.ffii.org/cons0501/support_ltr.php ---------- Missatge transmès ---------- Subject: Software patents in fisheries again! Date: Divendres Gener 21 2005 07:42 From: FFII <feedback@xxxxxxxx> To: mimosinnet@xxxxxxxxx On Monday, software patents are likely to be passed by the Fisheries and Agriculture Ministries. Dear FFII supporter [1], at the Agricultural Council's meeting next Monday, the Software Patent Directive is likely to be inserted into the list of agenda items in the last minute. The aim seems to be to preempt ongoing efforts in the European Parliament for a restart of the procedure. [2] Please write today to your minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and other political representatives, and ask to have the software patent directive taken off the agenda. Usable argumentation can be found on the webdemo page at http://www.ffii.org/index.en.html At http://demo.ffii.org/cons0501/ you moreover find banners and instructions on how to help spread the word, so that the campaign can reach media and decision-makers.

RMS: I would quit that job. Would you participate in something anti-social just because somebody pays you to? What if the job involves hitting people on the head in the street and taking their wallets? ... Some people seriously claim that you can't criticize what someone does if it is part of their job. From my point of view, the fact that somebody is being paid to do something wrong is not an excuse.
