Remember to keep signing the petition even after it gets 1 million! Every single signature over 1 million makes it that much more likely to actually get accepted!

    Worth adding that this is because the validation process may disqualify some signatures, dropping the total below a million.

    If we get a million legitimate signatures, the EU comission is not allowed to simply reject the initiative.

    The number keeps climbing even though it's late at night over there! I expect it might slow a bit over the next few hours, but at this rate, we'll beat it before 11:59pm CEST!

    50k more to the goal!

    Edit: goal reached before 5:45PM CEST!

    95% now. Back of the envelope says around 4 hours to go at the current rate of signing so 15:30 in Central Europe / 14:30 UK and Ireland, give or take.

    I'll be in the middle of watching 28 years later \o/

    Ironically, this latest push is mostly due to Piratesoftware being his usual self.
