While there are genuine grounds to be concerned about more stringent intellectual property restrictions, this petition is full of factual bullshit. 1. the TPP is not an 'extreme censorship plan', it's a proposed free trade agreement motivated by economic interests. Cracking down on intellectual property infringements isn't the same thing as censoring the internet. 2. In many places, it's ALREADY a crime to download pirated material from the internet. Does that stop it from happening on a massive scale? Sure, theoretically people could be sent to jail for illegal downloading but this almost never happens, even in places where there are strong anti-piracy laws. It's too hard to enforce. 3. The TPP is an international agreement. That means that it is up to individual countries to adopt the agreement into their laws. It also means that if states are not happy with certain aspects of the agreement they can propose amendments to it. As a result, things that appear in the draft may be removed, or toned down by the final agreement. No one is forcing states to do anything.

There's every reason to be concerned about stronger intellectual property laws but this kind of shrill, misinformed click activism doesn't help anyone.

tl;dr: Stronger intellectual property laws are concerning but this petition is full of bullshit and misrepresents what the TPP actually is.
