Try using the courts when they do something thats incorrect.
Remember lawyers dont get bought off through lobbying,instead they offer them political careers with promises of lobbying.
As for the petition,in my belief,it is a rare bird that even acknowledges them anymore.When i was in Mexico,i lived for a while with the people that own fair portions of the U.S. goverment.Its done with shrewd lobbying.The reason they live in mexico is they're money is worth 4x more.Of course they're still citizens with property and holdings in the U.S but in Mexico they have 4x more for thier money.
When i was training with my peers in the dojo,i learned often times the truest solutions to matters of political affairs are the hope of accidentall and unexplainable deceases.
Reasons like this is probably why my SenSai's father was thrown out of China,the land of his birthright.

Remember..Remember the 5th of November,the gunpowder treason and plot,i know of no reason,why the gunpowder treason should ever be forgot...........

What happened with this was the law passed?

Last time I think it was rejected by the Parliament. I just had a look at http://www.copycrime.eu:
Currently it's still a draft. But the European Court has generally allowed to make such legislation by the EU. (If you don't know the EU: All it's member states are souvereign, so the EU can't simply dictate everything. This is only possible if there are treaties allowing this).
It was at the Council again on December 6th, no idea what they decided.

EDIT: 2007-12-31: Correction, the parliament already voted yes, the court seems to have no objections, so it's up to the Council now.
