Copyright maximalists is the term I have seen used, but
"IP extremists"
conveys the same idea. I have posted many
times that they appear to control the
Executive Branch
(Obama's office), but rarely have seen anybody mention that
or comment on it.
Glad to see at least one other person
shares the same
insight. It is the Executive Branch who was
responsible for trying to force
ACTA on the whole world, and
now not satisfied with ACTA, they are the driving
force
behind "the Son of ACTA", the Trans-Pacific Partnership
being negotiated
on a fast track in secret again. The
TPP threatens to displace the 1995
Trips agreement
negotiated in the open under the World Trade Organization
and
promises even more draconian measures. Among them,
incredibly, is a provision
to increase the duration of
copyrights by a further 20 years.
It is
also the Executive Branch who ordered the DOJ and
the FBI to serve the MAFIAA,
and came up with this wonderful
plan to take down websites on MAFIAA's target
list like Mega
and that hip-hop site before it. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
