    I'm wondering if anyone else has heard about this? It's secret (literally a secret, the general publics of countries are not supposedly allowed to know about it thanks to massive upheaval about SOPA, PIPA and ACTA like treaties. This one is worse. Yes, worse. Middlemen in the entertainment industries like the MIAA and RIAA want to create treaties across the globe to allow them to collect royalties from buffered copies.

    What does that mean? Your hard drive is very slow but it holds a lot of information. Your ram is super fast memory that loses what's stored on it when it doesn't have power. The CPU is very fast and in order for your hard drive and your CPU communicate, there's a buffer, IE your ram. This is how a computer work. They want you to have a licence for this. To pay for a licence fee. A royalty fee. Think about this. Really think about how stupid this is.

    This is insane. Ask anyone who has two braincells and how computers work, they will tell you this is insane. The people behind the TPP think it's reasonable.

    So far this only seems to be for America and Asian countries. SOPA happened mostly in America and then the Irish equivalent pretty much came out of nowhere and now this crap.
