It is too late in the evening for me to read it properly;
Give it to me straight, is this more "SOPA and PIPA 2.0" bullshit, where multinational corporations and their interest groups have been pulling international strings to get what they want codified into a treaty, and then getting everyone to sign off on it in secret in exchange for super special perks for the signatories?
You know, things like the protections on designer drugs in the international market that american drug companies wanted in PIPA, and the "Oops, Yeah, internet access is totally NOT
a human right if a big enough corporation wants to take it away from you because you downloaded a 99 cent music file with bittorrent" that was in SOPA?
Am I right in thinking that TPP basically gives big multinationals hard protections on shameless geographic marketing, under the auspices of a free trade bill? (EG, something 180 degrees in the opposite direction from what actual free trade is supposed to enable?)
Edit
Awesome, Mexico! I hope they dont get overruled! I am very much against regionalized pricing-- It is basically carte blanc for big corporations to exploit foriegn labor, while making huge transfers of capital, destroying both markets simultaneously. (Note, I AM in favor of trade tarrifs in order to better insulate trading economies, but region locked pricing is not the same thing at all.)
