There is still quite a bit of discussion and fall out after the protests that stalled out SOPA and PIPA. I am heartened to see attention being directed back at ACTA and TPP. Hopefully the awareness raised by the blackout will bring many more voices into the debates around these trade agreements that include measures just as troubling and are being crafted in an equally unilateral manner, excluding the public interest.
