That’s how we forged a Trans-Pacific Partnership to open markets, and protect workers and the environment, and advance American leadership in Asia. It cuts 18,000 taxes on products made in America, which will then support more good jobs here in America. With TPP, China does not set the rules in that region; we do. You want to show our strength in this new century? Approve this agreement. Give us the tools to enforce it. It's the right thing to do.
No. The TPP was written by corporations, for corporations. It betrays national sovereignty and individual rights.

No. The TPP is another trade agreement created by corporations, for corporations -- with no input from everyone else.

Part 2 in Michael Geist's series on the problems with the Trans-Pacific Partnership. It will lock countries into harsh laws regarding digital rights management. Such laws tend to make crimes of "tampering" with your own devices, and interfere with research aimed at ensuring product safety.

sensible copyright policies face huge practical barriers, in large part because few are willing to challenge the default assumption of copyright law that every time a copy is made the rightsholder's permission is required. That assumption makes no sense in the digital age, but it's hugely difficult to dislodge
The efforts of publishers and music companies to prohibit "piracy" today are analogous to trying to prohibit the sharing of books, photocopies, records, and mix-tapes in the pre-Internet era.
The world is changing fast. Get used to it. Adapt. Quit trying to alter reality with legislation.
