hello and good afternoon, mon,
i am happy to address any concerns that i'm able to, regarding the TPP. i just wanted to make sure that we didn't just gloss over IP.
sure, my friend.
trade deals (and most major legislation that's multilateral in nature) are always discussed "in secret". there are multiple competing interests at work, and the process is fluid.
trade negotiators cannot do their work in a room filled with cameras and journalists present.
its interesting, because you'll notice that there are common tropes trotted out by the left and the right anytime any legislation is passed that they're not copacetic with.
here are two of them;
1) its done in secret
2) there are sooooo many pages! (volume seems to indicate treachery, lol)
this is ridiculous, of course.
as i said, all legislation is written and haggled over in a room with no cameras. this is not new. sometimes the legislation has requires many, many pages. this is also not new, nor is it a harbinger of great evil that's transpired.
when the legislation is finally written, its presented to the lawmakers and the public for evaluation and debate.
there's no skullduggery going on here, mon.
i am a commercial photographer. i made some money when i was younger and working in NYC and that money is invested in numerous entities that have a direct interest in IP.
when my work gets scanned and appropriated, i lose money. when usage fees are ignored, i lose money.
when IP from corporations that i have investments in are compromised from piracy or patent violation, i lose money.

Hi mate
I got it, IP protection and all that. You dont want to address any of my probs and I understand IP is very important to you.
Ongoing diversion aside (IP)lets discuss something you raised ie nothing sinister here.

There is something very sinister involved when no public citizen has access to this document, afterall the devils always in the detail. You stated theres nothing sinister here, please expand on this?

Also out of curiousity what is your job and/or sector do who work in? I ask as I also make money from different equities which have/does include pharma and other high r&d sectors and I'm not losing my shorts over the stealing of ideas. Maybe I should as the worlds most notorious IP thief China also got a free trade agreement through to screw us.

Youre pushing the tpp up hill with a pointy stick.... Whats in it for you? Were you involved in this rogering of individual identity amongst cultural variations?
