If your not sure you should take the time, consider this snippet from that article,
"Ars Technica recently talked to Michael Geist, a legal scholar at the University of Ottawa, about this effort. He told us that rather than making their arguments at the World Intellectual Property Organization, where they would be subject to serious public scrutiny, the US and other supporters of more restrictive copyright law have increasingly focused on pushing their agenda in alternative venues, such as pending trade deals, where negotiations are secret and critics are excluded."
This really disturbs me, seriously, why do things like this in secret, unless you have dishonest, discriminatory, or perhaps even malicious, motives?
I can't think of any other reason for negoatiations on Copyrights, and the related laws and agreements, to be held in secret.
Can you?
We need to let the politicians know we don't support this type of behavior, anymore than we did SOPA, or ACTA!
Though it is hard to protest about things that are secret isn't it?
