Controversial anti-piracy agreement rejected by EU (BBC)

The BBC reports that the "Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement" (ACTA) has been rejected by the European Parliament. "Wednesday's vote is seen by most observers as the final blow to the treaty in its current form. It means no member states will be able to join the agreement. A total of 478 MEPs voted against the deal, with 39 in favour. There were 165 abstentions."
