European Parliament had -at the start- only a small vocal minority protesting against ACTA, the rest had their head in the sand, hoping it would just blow over and not noticed… but then the social media took off, people in Eastern Europe were protesting in the streets in the cold of winter, Stop ACTA demonstrations took place everywhere in Europe.

No way our friends could continue “nananana I can’t hear you”. They had no choice but to listen. I’m sure quite a few MEPs actually became convinced that it was not a good idea.
