The Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPP) is an
international trade agreement being negotiated among contries of the
Pacific Rim such as Australia, Brunei, Chile, Malaysia, New Zealand,
Peru, U.S, and Vietnam. The agreement will encompass more
aspects of trade like agriculture and textiles, so it is possible that the intellectual property chapter will get lost among high-priority concerns
and will receive heavy industry pressure.
Public Knowledge's Position
Public Knowledge urges the USTR to recognize that an IP chapter in a truly “21st century trade agreement” should reflect
the rights and interests of the wide variety of stakeholders affected by
copyright.
For in-depth information on the TPP,

Copyright affects not only producers of
content and its distributors but also technology companies that make
products that can be used to copy, store, access, use, and repurpose
copyrighted works. Excessive copyright protection would stifle the
ability of these companies to trade in these products because they could
be seen as encouraging or facilitating infringement. It also affects
individual users, because digital technology enables them to use content
in new ways and overly restrictive copyright protection and enforcement
measures threaten to take that ability away.
