".
Economic operators commit serious violations of intellectual property rights on a commercial scale. They deceive consumers or they usurp the identity, reputation or technical procedures other businesses have invested a lot in establishing. It is therefore right to establish special legal measures to combat this scourge.
Under pressure from certain lobbies, however, certain people wanted to ensure that this directive is applied with particular flexibility. This is extremely dangerous as it opens the door to the abuse of these anti-counterfeiting measures. They could be used against private individuals, guilty of saving music from the Internet onto a CD, for example. Big business could also use these measures to harass weaker competitors such as small- and medium-sized enterprises, for example. Lastly, there is the fear that this directive could be used to return in a roundabout fashion to subjects on which Parliament has already reached a decision, like generic medicines and the impossibility of patenting software. This is why I voted against this draft directive, which Parliament has not succeeded in amending satisfactorily."@en1
