[discuss] Brazil's Marco Civil approved by Chamber of Deputies!!

Wed Mar 26 00:59:42 UTC 2014

Here is the link to the approved text (in PDF, in Portuguese):

http://www.camara.gov.br/proposicoesWeb/prop_mostrarintegra?codteor=1238705&filename=Tramitacao-PL+2126/2011

I am sure there will be an English version soon -- maybe as soon as it 
passes Senate (where it should be approved without modification) and our 
prez sanctions it.

fraternal regards
