I just read this and thought I'd pass it along:

It depends on your perspective. It's getting a lot of coverage and attention overseas where it should be. Here in the states, there's no impression of impending doom for the US-based Internet.<p>Also, SOPA / PIPA had a specific proposal that called for monkeying directly with DNS which raised obvious "break the internet" concerns.
Here in the USA, ACTA doesn't actually take effect (for us) until our congress votes to ratify the treaty. The ACTA vote is somewhere further off in the future, whereas SOPA was a more immediate issue, with voting right around the corner (until derailed by all the protests).
