ACTA lost! Three cheers for piracy, and three more against the USA!

Some great regular jerking going on. Pro-piracy, anti-corporation, anti-Americanism...
Some comments:
Better watch out for corporations watching out for their intrests!
America sucks. Europe just saved the entire world forever from AIDS.
WE won you guys! It was the INTERNET that won!
I don't even think I'm terribly opposed to ACTA, if it makes all of this jerking go away. If Reddit didn't exist, I would totally be against it, but the fact that I hate the hivemind groupthink just makes me want it to happen.
My prediction for the headline tomorrow:
###"ACTA not really dead, you guys! It lives in another form! Get your neckbeards wet in angry rage!"
