Breast Groping Pleasure
Today, on September 8, 2010, was the deadline for getting in Parliament, enough signatures to make the written statement the official stance 12/2010 of the Parliament in relation to anti-counterfeiting treaty ACTA.
Today, on September 8, 2010, 377 signatures have been obtained of 377 MEPs, which means eight more than necessary.
This means that it will not be so easy for the big lobbying pressure, to take control of the life of European citizens will no longer be so easy, those who are much time on it, decide we're going to see or write on the Internet, it can no longer easily filter our communication to see everything we do, because no company can compel for good, to any operator to violate data protection without a warrant, at least not with the consent of our MEPs ... among other things.
Today we saw we were not "four cats" with "three ignorant, as they claim to believe public opinion, we tried to talk to our representatives and we have heard, ... this time if we have heard.
And today I want to thank many people, all those, Internet or otherwise, who have been with us several months trying to get information about ACTA to as many friends as possible, we have explained, or initiated, which meant all this, who was who, the terms in which he was talking about, why were secret negotiations and to where they were willing to go.
Today I want to thank all who have supported me, and by extension also supported those who fought with me, the mere fact of having given publicity to what we wrote, advertised our blogs, or share our tweets our publications on Facebook, your comments were always a great encouragement.
I thank also the other groups, both English and those of Europe, and even support from outside Europe (such as from Mexico and other friendly countries which I have to say and we will not forget them), delivery and all the information we have been able to share in all this time, and that the view is: he has served, and for a lot. I want to make special mention to all the people of La Quadrature du Net ", which have been a reference and a source of information and energy and because we have addressed each time the we needed, they have been those that have been updated on the real situation in record time.
is true that this is not over, ACTA has great writers and is always the possibility that any of the member states of the European Union or even all of them subscribed, Ultimately, this aberration of a treaty, anything is possible, but hardly as the European Union may conclude, therefore requiring no policy about it. And in the unlikely event that any country would do so, I think it is clear that they will have to face the public and what is important to their constituencies.
But I do not want to say goodbye without devoting too few words to the other party, as there have been many MEPs who have not supported the written statement, which is entirely respectable, I guess they all have their views on the subject and no one can argue against that, but there is something I can not overlook, namely
First thank the honorable exceptions, that there They answered our emails explaining our concerns and to be interested in your opinion and his stance on the issue.
And second, criticize the silence of the majority but not forgetting that we who represent, I have nothing against those who would like to support the statement but I do not find ways for my representatives, ignoring, if not disdain, for those who have entrusted their interests and defend their rights, I feel bad policy no answer and I think that is something they should correct it at the end of the day, voters are and should respect the commitment that we have acquired.
And I do not intend to make this a rebuke to one party or another, since in the two major parties has been who has not signed and the criticism is intended to reach all parties if it is true that very few of PSOE which have not signed up, only 2, while very few of the PP that if you have signed, only 3, and that, if signed by the President of the European People's Party.
But my reproach you go further, you reach all those who, having no intention to sign, have not been able to answer, although there have been several times we have been interested in the subject, which have not been able to inform voters, those they represent, what were the reasons why they could not sign the statement. We demand transparency in its decision because, after all, their decisions are our decisions, whether they sign or not, but on our behalf and we demand also that we listen to be our interests that prevail at the time of supporting or not something of this caliber and that so profoundly affect the welfare and basic rights of a people.
No more I would like to again thank to all those involved to get that today Europe is a bit more freely without ACTA.
Pd .- I want to apologize to all groups and individuals in Spain with whom I worked and who have helped us not to name them all, Understand that the possibility of leaving someone out, and with this my memory, I decided to start a long list.

What Do You Make Ink From
Let history
1924-The first privatization of telephone service
The National Telephone Company of Spain (CTNE) was founded as a corporation on April 19, 1924, its capital amounted to one million pesetas, divided into 2000 shares control of which bore the American company ITT.
Four months later Alfonso XII authorizes the government to contract with the Telephone Company organization, reform and expansion of national telephone service. As a result phlegm is the first contract between the state and CTNE, under which it ceded to the new company, all facilities and lines that operated directly, ie the first privatization occurs.
Shortly after its founding, the Telephone Company had made all concessions except two: Guipúzcoa, which does not expire until 1950 and the city of San Sebastian, unlimited lease, thus giving rise to the monopoly of a public service at the hands a private company. First
after the expropriation during the dictatorship of Primo de Rivera and then with the arrival of the Republic questioned the legality of the contract signed by the previous government y se solicitaba su anulación. Era demasiado escandaloso que una empresa, a los 4 meses de su creación, se hiciera con el control absoluto de las telecomunicaciones en España, tras ceder el estado todas las líneas e instalaciones de su propiedad. En diciembre 1932, Manuel Azaña valida definitivamente el contrato, dejando en manos de una multinacional americana (ITT) el control de las comunicaciones estatales.
1945- De empresa privada a empresa pública
En 1945, la dictadura franquista decidió que las acciones de la CTNE, propiedad dela International Telephone and Telegraph Corporation pasaran a ser propiedad del estado, pasando así el estado a controlar el 79,6% del total de acciones. Este hecho tuvo consecuencias favorable to workers, setting a new pay system and increasing wage workforce to reach 14,723 employees in 1950. Certainly the state
bought the shares before the need for large investments to expand the telephone network, as demand for new lines was much higher than the ability to install them. Again, the state pays a private company to invest large funds.
CTNE In 1965 was the first company in Spain, capital of 20,000 million and 32,000 employees on its payroll. The expansion was continuous and increasingly rapid.
1995 - Liberalization of the sector and segregation of the company
In January 1988, issued the Law on Telecommunications (LOT) which regulated the new framework of actions, thus beginning a new period of great change in the company and especially for customers and employees. Gradually
was developing a plan to eliminate thousands of permanent jobs with decent working conditions, the result of years of struggle for workers of the company. The growth of precarious labor market, young people and skilled labor, were no longer necessary to have its own template which must be trained for months so they could develop their own job properly. Now it was possible to have trained staff and graduates especializaos for work, but with very low economic conditions, plus any contract.
labor's future expected to generate more prepared people in history was forged and Telefónica managers were unwilling to stay out of such employment prey.
The first thing you needed was company free of charge, until then the staff of Telefónica Telefónica had its own Provident Institution (ITP), being outside itself Social Security . It was the company responsible for paying the retirement of workers or to cover their losses and also working in conditions far superior to the provisions of Social Security. The retirement was at 60 years and 100% of benefits, compared with 65 years of Social Security.
On several occasions the company sought to eliminate the ITP, provided in collaboration with UGT and CCOO. At that time, these unions were faced to reach their heights of power and UGT who was first submitted to the staff of the company for a referendum to dissolve the ITP, the rejection was resounding. But little later CCOO made yet another referendum failed in their claims.
This period starts the final phase of what was the telephone company with nearly 80,000 workers. Was not enough to outsource the entire new work could not be covered with existing staff and not conformed with past activity segregates to group companies. Savage capitalism in recent years began to prevail, would have the greatest benefit and for that, given the inability of managers were able to destroy only work conditioning.
departures from the Collective Agreement 97-98, signed by the union members and shareholders together with Telefónica starts the process of downsizing. Low plan "volunteer" paid in full by the company started with the first job cuts.
With the arrival of the PP government increase and accelerate the capitalist measures. In 1997 the government made the wrong decision to sell the block of shares owned and the state still amounted to 20.9% of the capital. A year later the government decided that the second mobile operator is built around the public companies Retevisión. Finally, 70% was awarded to a consortium led by Endesa and Telecom. Italian state holding 30% of Retevisión. The paradox that the second resulting operator is "more public" Telefónica is now fully privatized.
1999-2001: First government-approved ERE
To continue the process of job destruction, the Government points to the chairman of Telefonica stock speculator Juan Villalonga, a personal friend of President Aznar. This began a period of speculative bubble creating fictitious companies like Terra, investing large amounts of money in Latin American countries, acquiring new licenses to exorbitant costs and buying radio and TV (wave 0 and Antena 3 among others) who have served faithfully mind the interests of the current government.
With this background and only a few months later to discard the state of the company, Telefónica, UGT and CCOO have signed the first Record of Employment Regulation (ERE), whose funding was provided by the state budget. More than 12,000 people will be affected again by some measures "volunteers" who as it happened in the lower plan of 1997 there were no volunteers and the pressures and threats came to be picked up by some media.
Along the way, outsourcing is increasing every day and telephone companies in the group, especially those who have more precarious working conditions, such as Atento telemarketin, spend 5 years in only 300 workers to 8,000, with a percentage the possibility of 98% and pay a third of that received by the staff of Telefonica in the same activity. Each employee taking early retirement in Telefónica is replaced by a temporary contract at a subcontractor or company's own Telefónica Group, which consists of more than 100 companies.
2003-2005: Final phase or step?
Last June, is authorized by the Government's largest Redundancy Employment (ERE) of history in a private company, which entail the destruction of 15,000 permanent jobs, has been presented by Telefónica and approved by the government without any obstacle or impediment.
A company that once had only 12 years ago una plantilla de casi 80.000 trabajadores, todos fijos y regulados por un convenio de empresa especifico que garantiza unas condiciones mínimas se quedará en 2005 con tan sólo 25.000 empleados.
El proceso histórico de la Compañía Telefónica, ejemplo de lo ocurrido con otras muchas empresas, evidencia como los estados se convierten en meras marionetas del las multinacionales y el gran capital. Invirtiendo cuando no es rentable para ellos y privatizando la empresa cuando se producen beneficios.
Da igual que se incumpla los requisitos por el Estatuto de los Trabajadores para proceder a un Expediente de Regulación de Empleo, no importa que el estado malvendiera una empresa que tenia grandiosos ingreso y ahora, no solo no perciba such dividend income, but also subsidizes the destruction of jobs with the money of all taxpayers.
The judges , media and general administration in turn with UGT-CCOO, Telefonica and Government complicit in a social model based on the exploitation of labor, outsourcing and regularization des of all employment rights acquired after years of struggles and mobilizations.

What Do You Call Military Alphabet
in English stands for Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (anti-counterfeiting trade agreement). Is an international treaty that aims to implement during the year 2010. Is being discussed in secret since October 2007. Has leaked from government officials who are in against ineffective, inhumane, illegal and murky nature of this treaty.
Countries affected by this agreement include, but are not limited to: Australia, Canada, EU, Japan, Republic of Korea, Mexico, Morocco, New Zealand, Singapore, Switzerland and the U.S..
The official aim of the agreement is the strong international enforcement of intellectual property rights. Some of our concerns are vague and amorphous way in which "falsificasión" (1) is used in many public comments. These uses range from products to expressly illegal unquestionably legitimate generics. We believe that the ACT has the potential to limit innovation the consumer choice and freedom on the Internet due to its many restrictions and changes in the legal field of copyright.
The scope of ACT includes counterfeit products, and new Internet censorship laws irrational downloads and gives what is called "Internet piracy." ACTA is a deal that surpasses many legal precedents and case law (2) in their own country that defines rights of consumers as "fair use" and could eliminate some limitations on the enforcement of intellectual property. This means that ACT could be subrogated (3) any legislation in your country to apply harsher penalties, unfair and ineffective people suspected of piracy without trial in court. If you were merely suspected of illegally listening to tunes or upload any illegal content could be severely punished by the laws of their own country. ACTA
also ensures that ISPs are legally responsible for the discharge of its users. ACT provides the record companies more rights to enforce copyright (c) and law enforcement officers permission to search material protected by copyright (c) any digital device. Have you paid you for the songs on your iPod? Under this new law you could be quickly branded as a criminal in the same category of murderers and rapists. Will have his criminal record. Even if you did not go below your iPod songs to feel the effect of millions or possibly billions of taxpayer dollars spent on prosecuting these "criminals", money that could be used to save lives. ACTA
Parties consider that any person accused of copyright infringement should "compensate" the loss in revenue to record companies. They call for harsher punishments for these offenders. The company in question, as UMG (4), billed more than one billion dollars in 2009 but the RIAA (Recording Industries Association of America) recently sued a 12 year old girl and many others for their discharges. Pursue compensation ranging up to one hundred fifty thousand dollars for mp3 song How far are intended to reach? (5) ......
