If the deal is so good, why is it secret?
...”If the deal is so good, why is it secret?”...
Moreso if the deal is to be made why is it they are voting for or against without reading it????
Part of the reason appears to be that the big hollywood and media crony capitalists are pushing hard to use it as a vehicle to further destroy copyright elsewhere around the globe. I was perusing the Project Gutenberg site today and found This link about some apparent copyright implications.
One thing they want is to extend copyright terms in countries like Australia. If you go to Project Gutenberg Australia you'll find that you can download copies of many of George Orwell's books for free. The supporters of perpetual copyright want to do away with that.
