While the TPP &quot;IP&quot; provisions might be banal, mirroring current USA law, the problem with the TPP is that its for all intents and purposes, a treaty. The citizens of the USA can&#x27;t up and decide that allowing DRM circumvention is a good idea and we should now allow it: that would break international law. The citizens of the USA can&#x27;t decide to shorten copyright length for fast-moving areas (computer science) because that would break international law.<p>The TPP enshrines poorly chosen implementations, just as the Berne Convention has enshrined poorly chosen implementations.
