What's this on the Piratebay about TTIP/etc

Can't be bothered to read all that! Does it mean that Canadian/US companies will be able to sue pirates for damages in the EU? :pimp

Oh.. why was I on the piratebay? Just doing analytic research... wasn't downloading the latest Walking Dead episode. :error

Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership is a series of trade negotiations being carried out mostly in secret between the EU and US. As a bi-lateral trade agreement, TTIP is about reducing the regulatory barriers to trade for big business, things like food safety law, environmental legislation, banking regulations and the sovereign powers of individual nations. It is, as John Hilary, Executive Director of campaign group War on Want, said: ?An assault on European and US societies by transnational corporations.?

Canadian and US companies can sue pirates for damages in the EU now. :2 cents:

(or anywhere else that has a functioning legal system, copyright legislation and observes the Berne Convention)

exactly, it is more exploitation of small ones by bigger ones

what is really funny is how such negotations can be negotiated in secret...true democracy lol
