I hope you guys are paying attention to this and writing/calling your men and women in congress.

PyroMenace:
I've seen this before and I have a hard time making heads or tales of it. Most of everything you look up leans heavily on it being propaganda or fear mongering. I'm also not really an expert on international economics to understand how it'll impact trade.

Quemaqua:
Sometimes there are things you should be afraid of. This is one of them. And none of us know the full implications because they've steadfastly refused to release the text. So even though it's been finalized, still no one is allowed to read it.

PyroMenace:
Yea I have been looking more into it. It's weird that trade agreements in the past haven't really delved into copyright infringement laws like this one has and why it's being talked about in foreign trade other than to keep everyone else from knowing about it.

Quemaqua:
That's why it's really scary, because it covers so much ground. They seem to be shoehorning a lot of stuff into it, a lot of which apparently is going to overwrite or sidestep existing law. That's the other reason it's scary.
