TPP Negotiating Text IP Chapter Published by Wikileaks
November 13, 2013 5:22 PM Subscribe
The Trans-Pacific Partnership has come under fire for the sweeping effects it may have on intellectual property laws in signatory countries, and is expected to export and even extend some of the worst features of US copyright law, including the criminalisation of DRM circumvention. The level of secrecy surrounding the agreement has been controversial: the US Trade Representative has refused to make the text of the agreement public, and only three persons in each TPP nation have access to the full text. The New York Times editorial board has been criticised for its endorsement of the deal, when the public (and supposedly the NYT) were unable to read the agreement.
In advance of the 19-24 November Chief Negotiators summit in Salt Lake City, Wikileaks has obtained and published the secret negotiated draft text of the TPP Intellectual Property Chapter, including negotiation positions and disagreements between all 12 prospective member states.

I wish reading about new laws these days didn't typically make me think about how I was getting fucked so an anonymous shareholder could make a dollar or two.
Seems for the last decade or two we have only pass national laws as corporate giveaways or to take away from the neediest amongst us, I realize that's a canard but it doesn't make it any less depressing.

Over on Buycott.com (inspired by SOPA/PIPA) they have a Stop TPP. They are missing the New York Times but list 16 others including Google.
Not sure how Google got on the list given the ACTA stance.

I'd love to believe that the TPP might lead to more open markets, that food in Japan would stop being so freakishly expensive (seriously, cauliflower is usually over 300 yen a head, six to seven green beans go for 200 yen), but I know in my heart that, if Japan joins, they'll demand so many exemptions that nothing will ever really change.
Meanwhile, adoprting the American style IP laws means I'll probably get sued by the NBA and NFL for torrenting games that aren't even available in Japan.

Given how well belief VS corporate benefit when it comes to Government policy - why would this time be different?
Why should you consider extending good will to groups that have a history of not deserving good will?

rough ashlar, I said I'd love to believe that good would come from this. It's not, obviously. It's rare enough that a single country, on its own, doesn't screw over its entire population in the service of corporations. All of these countries together, serving all of the different corporate interests involved? There's next to zero chance that anything the TPP will do could possibly be good for actual people.

The extraordinarily detailed information on negotiating positions released overnight by WikiLeaks shows Australia repeatedly backing the interests of the US against the objections of countries including Canada, New Zealand, Japan, Singapore and Vietnam on questions involving intellectual property. Australia is often the only one of the 12 parties to the Trans-Pacific Partnership negotiations to do so.Region codes? Really? They're still flogging that dead horse? We're selling our sovereignty over region codes?

Consider developing different consumption habits that avoid such issues all together.
I used to watch video/listen to music and instead have replaced that with podcasts. If the Corporations want to make private little parties over culture items and charge rent-rates one can opt to say "no".
If fewer people have the desire for their entertainment what they gonna do? Complain about the lack of demand or do a remake of Freaky Friday?

Like the EFF, I'm eager to learn why the NYT would endorse this, because if this really is in the public interest, as they claim in their editorial, then there would be no reason for the NYTimes to keep the contents of this document secret.
So either they've seen it and endorsed it knowing how bad it is that the documents need to be kept from the public, or they haven't seen it and endorsed it anyway. Neither option sounds good. Thank God for Assange.

I don't think the NY Times has seen any primary material - I'd certainly be pissed at them if they had access to a final draft and wouldn't publish it. Their public editor started walking the editorial back today, claiming they were just endorsing the "idea" of the TPP, not the actual agreement.

This (re TTIP) is pretty terrifying.
The purpose of the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership is to remove the regulatory differences between the US and European nations. I mentioned it a couple of weeks ago. But I left out the most important issue: the remarkable ability it would grant big business to sue the living daylights out of governments which try to defend their citizens. It would allow a secretive panel of corporate lawyers to overrule the will of parliament and destroy our legal protections. ...
..These companies (along with hundreds of others) are using the investor-state dispute rules embedded in trade treaties signed by the countries they are suing. The rules are enforced by panels which have none of the safeguards we expect in our own courts. The hearings are held in secret. The judges are corporate lawyers, many of whom work for companies of the kind whose cases they hear. Citizens and communities affected by their decisions have no legal standing. There is no right of appeal on the merits of the case. Yet they can overthrow the sovereignty of parliaments and the rulings of supreme courts.

Speaking of officials in Congress, this seems to be an instance of the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Also, I've talked to more than one person who was confused by the acronyms - TPP is this current set of international "gentleman's agreements" that are technically still secret and TPA is Trade Promotion Authority, which essentially allows the US to broker these deals by not allowing Congress to later meddle with them, rather requiring an up/down vote.

A few times, when there's a very weak central government and an obvious shake-up in the world system, as in the Velvet Revolution and a few other instances. (The Glorious Revolution gets some hype too, but William had a Dutch fleet behind him and Catholics would hardly call the whole thing "Peaceful" in retrospect.) But it's quite unlikely it'll happen anytime soon; neoliberal hegemony is quite robust at present, and it has no serious restrictions or structural weaknesses where the use of force is concerned.

A good agreement would lower duties and trade barriers on most products and services, strengthen labor and environmental protections, limit the ability of governments to tilt the playing field in favor of state-owned firms and balance the interests of consumers and creators of intellectual property. Such a deal will not only help individual countries but set an example for global trade talks.That sounds awfully hypothetical. I'm baffled as to how anyone could read it and come away with the impression that it's a endorsing a specific document.

The Times should know better than to pretend these international trade agreements might "strengthen labor and environmental protections" and "balance the interests of consumers and creators of intellectual property." It's disingenuous and misleading to pretend those things are a possible outcome of these talks, and those who do not pay close attention to international relations may look to the Times' editorial board to help them understand the issues, which were unrealistically framed by that piece.

The more extreme version of just avoiding these products is to avoid what is branded "Predictive Programming". The more grounded interpretation notes that films with Military themes and want to use the Military gear backdrops for low cost have to have the scripts changed and approved. Or will note the Hoover-era media control WRT the FBI image.
One can also avoid product placement, in-entertainment advertising, and other culture factors that benefit the Government making the TPP.

The problem with torrenting is that use of public torrent sites makes you vulnerable to MPAA/RIAA attacks, fully protected by the government, of course. The only way around that is to use private trackers, which has the disadvantage of forcing a much greater reliance on friends, versus giant, faceless corporations.
