The gigantic doujinshi market is a far more salient topic though, since it's actually the livelihood of a great number of people.

Since the major media owners don't tend to shut down things like Star Wars fan movies and those people at comic cons who sell their own original comics using DC and Marvel characters, I don't see any reason to worry.

Not if either Clinton or Sanders wins the election next year. Or if Wikipedia tries a blackout.

The TPP isn't going to need to wait til 2017 to be passed dude. Also why the gently caress would wikipedia try a "blackout" over it?

Could you explain what you think is in it that Wikipedia would hate?

...Heightened restrictions on free expression, and artistic freedom, bullshit enforcements?

So did you ever stop to notice that literally none of that is present in it? Who told you it was?

It's kind of creepy how TPP proponents are only concerned with what impacts the US in the bill. Status update: making the rest of the world as corporate-friendly as america is not a good thing.

Please describe how the TPP makes that happen. Please remember to also consider existing binding treaties to the parties involved.

Oh wait, you can't, because it doesn't!

No one really understands American copyright law, why should I believe anyone here is an expert in Indian copyright law?

India ain't involved with this, incidentally.
