Hi Stephen, thank you for your response. We have not made any publication in Wikipedia in Spanish, but we are planning to. We are awaiting the development of the amendment in Congress, and if this does not stop, we will have to consider taking action. Best regards.

Thank you for sharing, Ivan. Do you know if there is any related discussion in the Spanish Wikipedia community? I am interested to hear if you receive any response from your letters.
---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Ivan Martínez galaver@gmail.com Date: Mon, Dec 9, 2013 at 11:21 PM Subject: [Wikimedia-l] Amendment would affect Wikimedia projects To: Wikimedia Mailing List wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org
Dear all:
A proposed amendment to the Industrial Property Law, Federal Law on Copyright and the Federal Penal Code, recently presented at the Chamber of Deputies of Mexico, very similar to SOPA and the Sinde Law in Spain, would affect the functioning of the Wikimedia projects in Mexico.
Our chapter decided to issue a position that can be found at the following link:
This document was sent to the email address of the legislators who are driving this proposal, deputies Héctor Gutiérrez and Aurora Ugalde, no response so far. If this proposal in advance approval, our chapter would evaluate what actions could be taken.
Best regards.
