[Chapter-delegates] TPP Rearing it's ugly head

[cdel.firsthand.net]

Curious that US is so unconscious that it is rapidly moving towards dependence on the IPR from outside US. Then this treaty that today looks beneficial for US will look like a millstone. 

Maybe by 2030 the arguments in US against respecting British copyrights in the 19th century will be popular again ... Too late.

What goes around ... Comes around.

For example, Canada has proposed language protecting Internet service providers such as YouTube from liability if their customers use their service to distribute works that infringe copyright. American law has provided such liability protection since 1998, yet the Obama administration is listed as opposing a requirement that nations "shall limit the liability of, or the availability of remedies against, internet service providers."
