Meghan from Openmedia.ca sez, “The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) is a massive international trade agreement that includes 12 countries and covers almost 40% of global GDP. It’s big. If you live in the U.S, Canada, Australia, Chile, or New Zealand — it affects you. But it also affects you if you don’t live in one of the 12 countries negotiating the TPP – especially on the issue of Digital Rights.”
One of the most controversial parts of the TPP – one that public interest groups around the world have been fighting to bring to light – is the changes to copyright and Intellectual Property rights that would affect how we share and collaborate online. Even though you might not live in a TPP country – some of your favourite websites do – and they could be forced to remove content, even entire sites could go down, under the TPP.
