The more you know about the odious Trans-Pacific Partnership, the less you'll like it. It's made for corporate intellectual property and profits.
Among the many betrayals of the Obama administration is its overall treatment of what many people refer to as "intellectual property" – the idea that ideas themselves and digital goods and services are exactly like physical property, and that therefore the law should treat them the same way. This corporatist stance defies both reality and the American Constitution, which expressly called for creators to have rights for limited periods, the goal of which was to promote inventive progress and the arts.http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree...l-property
