I picture the European politics sucking up to those American corporate fat asses. If you want to do your part, as I did, give your EU parlement representative a call or an email regarding ACTA and your negative support towards it.

We can no longer blame this shit on the US alone. It is our turn as people from the EU to show that if they can fix their privacy problems in Congress, so can we in the EU parlement.

It is time to act, the time to blame is in the past. Right now Poland is voting yes to this, and if we don't show our concerns, it will pass in Holland as well.

Déjà Vu in the form of OPEN — The New Anti-Piracy Bill
As an alternative to SOPA-PIPA, Representative Darrell Issa (CA-R), and 24 co-sponsors introduced the Online Protection and Enforcement of Digital Trade (OPEN) H.R. 3782 on Wednesday, during the Internet blackout.
From PCWorld:
OPEN would give oversight to the International Trade Commission (ITC) instead of the Justice Department, focuses on foreign-based websites, includes an appeals process, and would apply only to websites that “willfully” promote copyright violation.
The bill pretends to only target foreign websites, while keeping Americans free to surf and post, but the bill’s wording is wide open to pursue American sites. Just one example: when describing an infringing site, it starts with those “that are accessed through a non-domestic domain name,” but continues in section (8)(A)(ii) for any site that “conducts business directed to residents of the United States.”
