The reality is nobody here except geeks was aware of ACTA at all. The explosion of media attention started about a week ago, and even polititians were totally unprepared to handle any reposnse and it looked like they were surprised that finally somebody noticed it. Even the most pro-govt media didn't leave it alone, but it's sad that the case was raised so late. Too bad we don't have any real rock-stars on the tech scene to speak up, such as sopa had google, reddit, etc. Most media coverage include interviews with old tards in suits and some rotting entertainment celebs skewing up the view on this issue talking about their precious mp3s nobody listens to anyway, and on the other side they show protesting people way too young to speak about it in a reasonable manner. I'm all happy about the protests emerging, but it's too bad we lack influencial people in the tech sector to handle this issue on a substantive level.
