Nice move. Now these Europeans should be consequent and start attacking the real backers of ACTA, USA corporate Nazis from New-York. You have to attack US multinationals interests in Europe and the rest of the world if you want democracy. I dont see a lot of McDonalds closing up in Greece and Spain. Europeans still see USA as the land of Free and the Brave. In reality its the land of the Slave and Slob. And Europe is not lets say examplary since it has adopted Codex Alimentarius which is as bad as ACTA.
