If you care about freedom of speech, especially on the Internet, then the EFF have an infographic explaining how bad it could get: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2012/08/whats-wrong-tpp

I'm glad TPP is dead. It should never have been negotiated behind closed doors, and it should never have just bent over backwards to huge corporations.

Yeah and such a bill should never have existed in the first place as it would make global warming worse off than what it already needs to be. 
Also copyrights would get even more ridiculous and among other things there is no justified reasoning in defending what is essentially NAFTA 2.0
Atheism is a non-prophet organization join today.
