Polish Politicians Don Guy Fawkes / Anonymous Masks To Protest ACTA Signing

There’s been lots of talk today about how various EU governments are agreeing to sign ACTA (which still needs to be ratified by the EU Parliament). It’s gotten the most attention in Poland, where there were mass protests — but the government there still signed. Of course, not everyone in the Polish government agreed. Amazingly, officials from the Palikot’s Movement held up the famed Guy Fawkes/Anonymous masks in Parliament to protest the vote: Of course, we should note that, from the picture, it sure looks like those masks are “counterfeit” copies of the official Guy Fawkes mask that Time Warner holds the rights to. Good thing ACTA is coming into force to stop such blatant “counterfeiting,” huh?
