Where is the public outrage over this? When a government cannot pass a bill due to overwhelming public opposition, using an alternate means such as a treaty like this is policy laundering. It's disgusting and I can't wait to see ACTA covered on the Nightly News. This genuinely frightens me.

What reasons do print, TV or radio news have to cover this? I can't think of any. It takes more than a single sound bite to explain what ACTA is, and there are plenty of easier and well-tested ways of getting people worked up when consuming newsproduct.

The people who know what this is and what it means speak up against it constantly: internet users with a clue. The people left who routinely watch TV and read template-generated newspapers are by definition not going to care. You don't watch TV to get real information, you watch TV to watch TV.

Where's the giant 200-comment HN thread about this? Maybe I'm blind, but this seems at least as important as Google withdrawing from China or Yet-Another-RDBMS-vs-NoSQL-debate.
