Ironically these antipiracy measures have been discussed for a while with a limited amount of talk towards implementation. People were sure back in November that SOPA was going to pass and it got annihilated once mass awareness was raised.

ACTA has been around since April 2010. The reason people don't care yet is because for now it's only a threat. Trust me once ACTA goes on the fast track heads will roll. It'll make the SOPA blackout look like a bottlerocket in comparison.

Chris Dodd is an idiot. This is all going to backfire in his face. And I agree, the people won't go for this. I thought it was unconstitutional for the US government to go into secret treaties with other countries?
