ACTA just got passed, without a word of it's content. It's a European law to combat pirating, yet no one knows what it actually does. Great, just great.

You might start by reading it. Or, if you prefer French, or Spanish.
It also isn't a European law, its an international agreement.

The lawyerspeak gobbledegook is giving me headaches. Can someone point towards a legal interpretation by a professional that's more in layman's terms?

Hmm
In determining the
amount of damages for infringement of intellectual property rights, a Party’s judicial
authorities shall have the authority to consider, inter alia, any legitimate measure of
value the right holder submits, which may include lost profits, the value of the infringed
goods or services measured by the market price, or the suggested retail price
...
Each Party shall be free to determine the appropriate
method of implementing the provisions of this Agreement within its own legal system
and practice
Basically, don't expect anything radical.

And also vague enough to be twisted into doing things it was never meant to do.

Not really, it doesn't work that way. International law isn't "law" in the conventional sense. Its fundamentally predicated on what people want it to do, rather than what is written. Law is based on what people want, to a degree, but not to the extent that international law is.
