From what I can gather, behind closed doors is a series of meetings that are taking place to make copyright laws even more stricter. Sites are calling it the biggest threat to the Internet, even though more restrictions on patents and copyrights can easily be applied to a variety of industries. The Gizmodo chart gives an example on how this new trade agreement can make pharmaceutical companies more profitable, due to their industry being entirely dependent on their patents and copyrights. This means that if something like this were passed in the US, or a variety of Westernized countries, it would be harder to get generic versions of drugs on the market. If it also applies to medicine, what other fields can TPP apply to? One feature mentions how patents and copyrights can even apply to "plants and animals."
