As non-EUtrash, I second Eugen's exhortation. Europe's willingness to resist the USian "creeping IP hell" is the only thing, IMO, that will protect independent thinkers from government/corporate interference in the next century.

And the open letter is worth a read. Alan Cox is eminently coherent and a swell guy to boot.
