That's not completely fair. I have always been for the TPP and still am. I have not changed my position. The EFF stance wasn't rational, standardizing IP laws

The EFF stance wasn't rational, standardizing IP laws with trade partners was actually a good thing for innovation IMO. I understand their aversion to it, but disagree.
I'm pretty sad that this trade deal has died. It is scary that we're giving up free trade for protectionism, which will actually hurt those people that were hurt by the existing trade deals a great deal more.
