"The vote was close, with 314 Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) voting in favor of an amendment to scrap what many consider draconian and disproportionate measures to protect copyright over the internet, and 297 voting against the amendment.

Hahah, like in UK and Switzerland.
They are getting more and more expensive all over Europe. But I think that's good, coz cigarettes in the European market suck bigtime.
Can't imagine what it must be like living in the USA with all those agencies spying on your p2p movements..
