PPUK have done a couple of TV interviews for Russia Today on ACTA, and
had our press release (
http://www.pirateparty.org.uk/press/releases/2012/jan/27/acta-latest-threat-internet-freedom-just-signed-eu/
) hit the front page of Reddit's /r/technology generating an
unprecedented number of web hits for us.

We've also got a blog post out about how to fight ACTA:
