Now to the problems. We have already achieved something with regard to taming this law. The original proposal had far worse provisions, and we could have ended up far worse without some of the specifications. However, if the current law is abolished through a referendum, it will have to recurr immediately, because the law was not created out of hot air but as a response to an international treaty which Switzerland ratified.
I concur with that. I wouldn't take up a referendum against a half-bad law. There should be done something, but in my opinion the whole law should be completely rewritten at a later date, and probably the WIPO-treaty itself should be repelled (or changed completely at WIPO-level).
It's apalling how the so-called "economical liberal" are not in fact opening up markets for free trade but instead are plastering the whole world with laws for more gouvernement-granted monopolies.
