Roush Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) is a plurilateral trade agreement that changes patent laws (on a global scale), and limits piracy. This is the second draft of the document released yesterday. Various news sites have editorialised, and inferred differing points on the draft. Ranging from the mundane, to the hyperbolic. -The two editorial sites I referenced above are very anti-TPP. I sought a news media site with a pro-TPP editorial, but I have yet to find anything. I don't like to offer opinions to these sorts of topics, but this is a very, very, bad thing. I have some friends in "Doctors Without Borders", and they do not like the implications for the medical community. It enriches corporate interests on an unprecedented level. Some of the countries participating are the United States, Canada, Australia, Japan, China and New Zealand. This document was (allegedly) not intended for public discourse, due to its very controversial text.The "best" pro-TPP argument I have heard is "the U.S. wants to protect its patents in light of the 3-D printer's capabilities, and China's knock-off market". Even still, China's been selling cheap rip-offs for decades, and the 3-D printer is a relatively new, and scarce thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roush Posted October 17, 2014 Author Share Posted October 17, 2014 Another conspiracy theory is it? This is about legislation to protect corporations' rights. I'm not sure what conspiracy you're talking about.Aren't you the fella who posts stories about E.T., and Zionist conspiracies? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
