So, after Poland, Slovakia, Czech Republic and Latvia now Germany also refuses to sign ACTA. It's not killed but will be delayed at least until 2013, post-elections. Small win! \o/

GEMA basically is the German version of the RIAA. It's annoying as hell, though, indeed.

I think Govts and content MAFIAA hoped to pass it silently while the public is looking away...

ACTA has weakened so much since the last time they wanted to introduce it, it doesn't matter if it gets passed or not. The description in the law concerning free distribution of data, it's so vague that it's not worth being concerned about. It's written in general language (so as many countries as possible would adopt it) so basically it's worth shit in juridical terms.
