Europe faces protests over anti-piracy act

Europe braces itself for a week of protests following the controversial anti-piracy act.


The Slovenian capital, Ljubljana, saw 2000 people marching in protest on Saturday spearheaded by the country's ambassador to Japan, Helena Drnovsek Zorko. Similar protests were seen in Poland with tens of thousands of people flocking to the streets.


In other developments, hackers obtained access to the websites for the Swedish government and the Greek justice ministry.


The protests come as the petition to reject the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (Acta) gets over 1.75 million signatures globally.
