grant_k: Wikileaks has released the final text of the TPP Intellectual Property Rights chapter overnight:  https://wikileaks.org/tpp-ip3/

It makes for interesting, if somewhat heavy reading.  Makes me wonder how long UnoTelly et al will be able to continue operating from countries which are TPP signatories...

Sure it looks like use of VPNs for circumvention of geoblocking is dead in the water, ISPs are forced to police the internet, block access to "file sharing sites", and if you get sprung, then they don't just cut off your connection, but can come on a seize and destroy mission for your PC.
Oh well - we knew hollywood was writing half of the TPP.

It seems to get worse though:

From boingboing

Under the terms of the text, countries in the TPP can force each other to suspend legal proceedings if the trial would cause embarrassing information -- information "detrimental to a party’s economic interests, international relations, or national defense or national security" -- would come to light. That would be the Wikileaks/Snowden clause.

Also, if one country is prosecuting someone for "intellectual property theft," they can require other countries to turn over huge amounts of private data: "information regarding any person involved in any aspect of the infringement or alleged infringement, and regarding the means of production or the channels of distribution of the infringing or allegedly infringing goods or services, including the identification of third persons alleged to be involved in the production and distribution of such goods or services and of their channels of distribution."

In other words, if you're accused of downloading anime in America, the Japanese government can force your American ISP to hand over all of your parents' online records.
