+<h2>Reject IP Enforcement Directive</h2>
+
+<p>
+A coalition of civil liberties and consumer groups opposes a new
+proposed directive for stricter punishment for copyright and patent
+infringement:
+</p>
+
+<p>

+</p>
+
+<p>
+The FSF also opposes this directive, but we did not sign that
+statement because it accepts too much of what ought to be opposed. EU
+law is already too restrictive, and simply to prevent further changes
+is not enough. It is wrong to stop people from sharing music and
+other published works, and only draconian laws could possibly do the
+job, so it's no surprise to see they are being proposed. But opposing
+this directive without criticizing its unjust motivation is
+insufficient. Even using the term &ldquo;intellectual property&rdquo;
+is a point of weakness, because this is
+a <a href="/philosophy/words-to-avoid.html#IntellectualProperty">
+propaganda term</a> for those who aim to restrict the public.
