	FFII (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Sedert vele jaren is de FFII gericht op het behoeden van de economie van de Europese Unie tegen het soort problemen die softwarepatenten veroorzaakt hebben in de Verenigde Staten.
		De FFII is actief op dit front sinds 2000 toen een poging om de Europese Patentconventie om softwarepatenten te legitimeren mislukte.
		FFII is de leidende Europese NGO wat betreft deze kwestie.

	[No title]
		The FFII is incensed at the inordinate haste with which the influential Legal Affairs committee is poised to rubber stamp the revised directive.
		The FFII is keen to highlight the availability of "nuclear weapons" of IP enforcement law that would be introduced through the directive.
		FFII believes the directive should be limited to its original proposed scope, namely "commercially organised recklessly intentional copyright and trademark infringement".

	LWN: FFII alert on EU's IP enforcement directive
		But FFII believes that in its present form the Directive is seriously unbalanced, will encourage opportunistic legal threats, and will create a much more hostile legal environment for small creative businesses.
		FFII believes that the best course would be for the directive to be limited to its original proposed scope, namely commercially organised recklessly intentional copyright and trademark infringement.
		FFII also believes that to allow proper public discussion and analysis in all the member states, the Parliament should allow at the very least a clear month from the publication of the Council draft text (17 Feb 2004) until the final closing date for amendments.

	Linux PR: FFII-UK Update: IPRED
		FFII stands by its previous statements about the Directive on its IPRED page and previous press release as picked up for example by slashdot.
		That is why FFII is arguing that such measures should only be available in the most extreme circumstances, and where there is clear evidence of a deliberate knowing intent to infringe for commercial gain on a commercial scale.
		FFII urges all European citizens to contact their local constituency MEPs as soon as possible, to make them aware of the dangers of this Directive.

	Anything Under the Sun Made By Man: Anti-Software Patent Movement and The Big Patent-Owning Software Companies on the ...
		FFII and their ilk have tirelessly protested, rallying their troops by proclaiming that the big software companies will exert their patents to harm the small companies.
		Even though FFII kept saying that the sky was falling concerning these big companies, it never came to pass that the big companies went after the small companies.
		Much of my unhappiness with FFII is not that I disagree with their position, but in the fact that they use scare tactics, protests, and baseless assumptions used in their arguments.

		The day before the vote, CEC Commissioner Bolkestein had threatened that the Commission and the Council would withdraw the directive proposal and hand the questions back to the national patent administrators on the board of the European Patent Office (EPO), should the Parliament vote for the amendments which it supported today.
		The FFII analysis of her paper pointed out that she couldn't have uttered them if there was not someone at the European Commission backing her.
		The PSE-UK rapporteur, whose hardline pro-patent voting list was not followed by any political group in the Parliament, presents her defeat as a victory, all the while not forgetting to lash out against "misinformation campaign" let by an unnamed group, probably the "Free Software Alliance".

	LWN: FFII: EU Ambassadors vote to back Software Patents
		The new draft rejects all of the European Parliament's limiting amendments, and is described by FFII as "the most uncompromisingly pro-patent text yet".
		Support for the text at a political level in some states is still said to be quite soft; and decisions brokered in Coreper do fall apart (last year's discussions on the Community Patent, for example).
		FFII is therefore urging supporters to make their voices heard now, especially software SMEs who make up the majority of the IT industry (eg over 80% of IT jobs in Germany).
