Hells Yes!!! Way to go people of Germany. You have exercised your freedom to protest and stand up for what you believe. Keep up the good fight, the Internet must remain free as a voice of freedom around the world.

Too bad we, in "the land of the free", weren't offered a similar opportunity to voice our opinion.

What kind of naive turd thinks that the USA is the only country that considers themselves the "land of the free"? For the record, fool, all countries think that. Quit listening to our anthem so much.

Looking forward to the Tea Party's take on this. Do Germans have a greater level of independence from it's government that we do? In that ACTA amounts to secret law signed by Obama with such mechanizations as to implement polices that favor the 1% - without the messiness of a vote - by anybody but the Europeans.

America's officially no longer the land of the freeest.

Looks like ACTA may be stopped after all.
Without Germany it's sunk in the EU.
