Since New Zealand passed section 92A, requiring Internet Service Providers to disconnect suspected file-sharers without any chance of fair defense, the locals have risen up in protest, protesting outside the Parliament building, presenting a petition, and distributing a CD called The Copywrong Song. Thousands of Twitter and Facebook pages are being blacked out in protest.
In the meantime, the exact same situation is developing in the USA and no one is even noticing.

Late update: the law has been suspended as a result of the protests
