Poland's support for ACTA has sparked attacks on Polish govern- inent websites by a group calling itself "Anonymous" that left them several of them unreachable off and on for days. Street protests of hundreds, and in some cases thousands of people, have bro- ken out across Poland for the past three days. In reaction to the widespread opposition, Polish leaders have been strugglingto allay fears over it. Poland's Foreign Minister Radek Sikorski defended his government's position in a TV interview Wednesday, evening, arguing that ACTA is not as threatening as young people fear. But he said the Internet should not be allowed to become a space of "legal anarchy." "We believe thattheftonamas- sive scale of intellectual property is not a good thing," Sikorski said. In the Czech Republic, a local group aligning itself with Anony- mous attacked the website of a group that supports ACTA. The group collects money for music production and distributes it to artists. New Mexico debate over restrictions on immigrant driver's licenses persists 0 Officials say current policy a threat to safety SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) - Republican Gov. Susana Mar- tinez suffered a temporary political setback yesterday in a bid to stop New Mexico from granting driver's licenses to ille- gal immigrants. A legislative commit- tee shelved her proposal and approved a Democrat-backed alternative that continues to allow licenses for illegal immi- grants but with new restric- tions. The politically-charged fight is far from over, however. The legislation heads to another panel for consideration and Martinez stands a strong chance of success if the issue reaches the full 70-member House for a vote. A measure to overturn New Mexico's license policy for immigrants passed the House last year with the support of eight Democrats and one inde- pendent. "I've got all the votes I need in the House," said Rep. Andy Nunez, a Hatch independent sponsoring the governor's pro- posal. Nunez conceded it's very uncertain whether the mea- sure can clear the Democrat- controlled Senate, which solidly rejected it last year. The House Labor and Human Resources Committee voted 5-4 on a party-line split for what Democrats described as a com- promise proposal. Republicans opposed it. The measure allows illegal immigrants to continue getting licenses but for only two years before needing renewal. Cur- rently, licenses can last four or eight years. The measure increases penalties for license fraud and will cancel licenses previously issued to foreign nationals if they renew them within two years - allowing the state to determine whether people remain New Mexico resi- dents. House Majority Leader Ken Martinez, a Grants Democrat, said the state's license policy allows illegal immigrants to "come up from the shadows" so they can drive to work and take their children to school and other places without fear of arrest for not having a license. The committee-approved restrictions will "really hit the bad guys hard," he said. 0 4 S J
