Going after or blaming the 'US' for all of this is a mistake.
The people who are after passing things like the ACTA are absolutely a global community and they use the USA government as a vehicle because it's currently the most influential and is the most friendly for them for various reasons, not to mention that many of them are in the USA (of course).
But it can just as easily be the EU folks being their vehicle AND it certainly would NEVER get done without the full cooperation of the governments in Europe.
