In related news, Gizmodo are (re)alerting the world to the TPP – the *Trans
Pacific Agreement *– “*the biggest global threat to the Internet since ACTA*”
saying “The United States and ten governments from around the Pacific are
meeting yet again to hash out the secret Trans-Pacific Partnership
agreement (TPP) on May 15-24 in Lima, Peru. The TPP is one of the worst
global threats to the Internet since ACTA. Since the negotiations have been
secretive from the beginning, we mainly know what's in the current version
of this trade agreement because of a leaked draft from February 2011. Based
upon that text, some other leaked notes, and the undemocratic nature of the
entire process, we have every reason to be alarmed about the copyright
enforcement provisions contained in this multinational trade deal.”
Countries involved are the USA, Peru, Chile, Malaysia, Singapore, Vietnam,
Brunei, Australian and New Zealand - with Mexico, Japan and Canada in the
process of joining the ring of copyright fire.
