With the immediate threat from SOPA/PIPA on hold, people have started
to turn their attention to the long-running saga of ACTA. While it was
being negotiated behind closed doors, few people knew about it, and
protests against it were muted. Now that it has finally emerged into
the open and begins its last dash towards the finishing line of
ratification, the pace of anti-ACTA activism is beginning to pick up
quickly. That’s especially true in Europe, where everything hinges on
the result of the European Parliament’s vote on the treaty later this
year. If it rejects it, ACTA is dead.
