Falkvinge.net - In a remarkable statement, the copyright monopoly fundamentalist Marielle Gallo – of the Gallo Report infamy – says that the citizens of Europe who have been campaigning against ACTA are terrorists.
In a just-published interview (in French), Marielle Gallo – a Member of the European Parliament, no less – calls the anti-ACTA campaigns “A soft form of terrorism” (une forme douce de terrorisme). Yes, she really does say that the citizens of Europe, her constituency, who contact her colleagues in Parliament regarding a concerning political matter should be regarded as terrorists.
This shows a couple of things.
Overall, this is an excellent sign. Let’s continue with this form of “terrorism”. Myself, I just call it democracy at work.
Beyond a win on ACTA, we should take the opportunity to reverse the trend and express our opinion that the monopolies should begin to dismantle.
UPDATE: Several people have pointed out that Gallo also states in this interview that the Members of European Parliament should be doing the thinking, and not citizens.

That is incredible! No one or few have heard about the Gallo report here in Europe. The Gallo report has been approved yesterday. That really upset me.
Thank you...I am going to study this Gallo report. It would be nice if you could share the links. Would be easier to share
So I am...
That's funny, a lot of Europeans see the EU as an unelected form of tyrannical occupational government...
Please, keep pushing the people and see what happens...
