US TPP proposals

samedi 15 août 2015 à 02:00

Several destructive proposals the US are pushing in the TPP, some in copyright and some in patents.

While all these proposals are bad, they have nothing in common aside from that. Copyright law and patent law are totally different and ought to be treated as separate issues.

The term "intellectual property" is harmful because it encourages combining those two issues; I wish the TPP's critics knew better than to repeat the framing that supports the TPP's unjust aims.
