In Pictures: ACTA Protests in Europe

On February 11 tens of thousands of people in towns and cities throughout Europe took to the streets to voice their opposition to ACTA, the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement currently awaiting ratification by the European parliament. Braving sub-zero temperatures, protesters unleashed a powerful weapon: homemade Internet meme-based protest signs. A second day of demonstrations is planned for February 25.
