FSF speaks against patent and DRM provisions

  "TPP is being negotiated between nine countries that border the Pacific: Australia, Brunei Darussalam, Chile, Malaysia, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore, the United States of America, and Vietnam. While the official text is being kept secret, a leaked draft and other reports indicate that the United States intends to use TPP as another opportunity to spread its draconian copyright and patent laws around the world." Here we go, again. As far as I'm concerned, if there's no transparency, there's no legitimacy. I understand not everything government does is publicized, but the base motivation for this seems manipulative and undemocratic. (It's not a warhead design; it's a economic negotiation about who gets what.)
