Wikileaks’  Release Of TPP Chapter On IP Blows Open Secret Trade Negotiation

By William New, Intellectual Property Watch

For years, the United States and partner governments have worked vigorously
to keep the publics they represent from knowing what they are negotiating
behind closed doors in the top-secret Trans-Pacific Partnership trade
agreement. But today’s Wikileaks release of the draft intellectual property
chapter blew that up, confirming the fears of public interest groups that
this is an agreement heavily weighted toward big industry interests.

“If instituted, the TPP’s IP regime would trample over individual rights
and free expression, as well as ride roughshod over the intellectual and
creative commons,” WikiLeaks’ Editor-in-Chief Julian Assange said in a
release. “If you read, write, publish, think, listen, dance, sing or
invent; if you farm or consume food; if you’re ill now or might one day be
ill, the TPP has you in its crosshairs.”

Hopefully TTP will take SOPA's trail.

The next battlefield,
TTIP<http://www.euintheus.org/press-media/vice-president-viviane-reding-in-washington-spoke-about-the-transatlantic-trade-and-investment-partnership-and-data-protection/>,
shall put the EU Commission on a hot seat.
