Just as an addition, I've been tracking the reaction on the Enlish speaking 
side and again reactions have been somewhat mixed.  I am seeing quite  alot of 
positive reaction and agreement with the principles, but also some confusion 
as to who might be seen as being in the wrong (the FBI, music industry etc..), 
a lot of discussion about the notion that the FBI simply can't be sued and so 
the whole thing is a sham.

There has also been a fair amount of comment on the danger of a group with 
pirate in their name claiming to be supporting of the legitimate users of 
megaupload, and a writing off of such action as spurious and simply 'thieves' 
trying to push their agenda.

Had some similar reactions on the latter with the ACTA stuff too actually.
