What Is Wrong With the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP)


The EFF is fighting a very strange trade pact that is being signed by 9 large industrial countries which is supposedly about IP (intellectual Property). However, the fact that China and Russia are missing means that it is unlikely to make much difference to the world IP situation, but merely burden citizens and companies in those countries with many extra burdens.

You can find the original link at EFF here.

EFF has been fighting against the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) intellectual property chapter for several years. This agreement poses a great risk to users’ freedoms and access to information on a global scale.

We have created this infographic to capture the most problematic aspects of TPP, and to help users, advocates and innovators from around the world spread the word about how this agreement will impact them and their societies. Right-click and save the image for the PNG file.

We thank Lumin Consulting for working with us on this project.

Unfortunately, there is no way to get blogger to make this image larger, so right click and save it, or go to the link at the EFF for the full size version.
