Worrisome. Though not surprising. This is yet another in a long string of pro-business international treaties drafted by big business to protect the interests of big business. When they can’t get a democratic government to pass a law, they circumvent the democratic process and send non-elected officials to draft a treaty.
The sad part is, that like ACTA and PIPA, it’ll do nothing to actually stop the spread of piracy. Until media and entertainment companies find ways to make digital delivery better and more convenient than piracy, they’re going to continue to get their shit pirated.
