At issue is why hasn't the entire Congress stopped this?
On July 2, the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) headlined "Internet Users Again Shut Out of Secret TPP Negotiations," saying:
Sinister trade deal talks threaten Internet and other fundamental freedoms. The public is entirely shut out. So are most congressional members.
What's ongoing "not only lacks transparency, it's completely incompatible with our democratic notion of society."
EFF's International Property team attended "the first days" of round 13 negotiations. IP Director Carolina Rossini lead them. She focuses on Internet and IP law and policy, cooperation theory, international IP negotiations, and open licensing.
EFF's International Intellectual Property Coordinator Maira Sutton is also involved. She monitors emerging trends and developments in international freedom of expression, privacy, digital consumer rights and innovation.
Team members hope to do more to raise public awareness about ongoing "shady proceedings."
TPP provisions aim to enact global copyright mandates and more. National sovereignty won't matter. Corporate lobbyists want it subverted.
