WARSAW, Poland — Protesters are gathering in several European cities to voice anger at an international copyright treaty that they fear will lead to censorship on the Internet.

Several European countries have signed the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement, or ACTA, but ratification remains in question as contempt is building against it, mostly from young people.

Strong opposition to the treaty emerged in Poland last month and is now spreading across Europe, where protests are expected in many cities.

Some of the first to take to the streets were hundreds who rallied in front of a government building in the Lithuanian capital of Vilnius Saturday carrying signs that said "Stop ACTA."

Dozens are also marching in Warsaw.

I think he was pushed to take matters into his own hands. I have a teenage son and if he was involved with a drug dealer I would be furious and try anything to save him like this father did for his daughter. Why do police often say they can't do anything until it's too late? Whether it be a drug dealer or an abusive spouse, the police can't seem to do anything until something really bad happens. In this case they could have raided the drug dealers home and arrested him. The whole town knew what was going on in that house but yet the police chose to do nothing. Release this man and give him a medal for doing the right thing by his daughter. I can't wait to see the episode on W5, I will certainly be watching this one.
