TPP

I am not sure if we have discussed this before and I dont know enough about it myself but this particular part of the TPP may affect our forum! "Adopt Heavy Criminal Sanctions: Adopt criminal sanctions for copyright infringement that is done without commercial motivation. Users could be jailed or hit with debilitating fines over file sharing, and may have their property or domains seized or destroyed even without a formal complaint from the copyright holder." This means that any links we provide to other sites (even though we are sending traffic to their site) could mean we get into some trouble with it!!! Here is an article about it all! www.eff.org/issues/tpp

There is also some discussion about being given an internet ID to use the internet! So if you get 3 strikes you can lose your rights to use the internet! I need to look into this further though! This may affect us here too!

I would have thought this is aimed at IP infringement matters. eg downloading of digital media likes movies, TV programs and games.
Provided the links do not pertain to activity that permits the above, should be fine?

It won't be long before they decide that a certain site we may link to is illegal! So for example the Link I made to steam, what if steam is declared illegal, (not that it will be) we are then linking to illegal stuff!

I think that's why a lot of people I know have switched over to using VPNs.

Also this is what I have been trying to find about hyperlinks! www.eff.org/deeplinks/2016/04/stop-copyright-creep-new-restrictions-are-not-answer-challenges-digital-publishing "The suggestion that these challenges could be addressed by changes to copyright law follows upon the introduction of laws in Germany and Spain to impose new restrictions known as “ancillary copyright.” These laws require payment to news publishers when excerpts accompanying links to their stories are published by third-party online aggregators, such as Google through its Google News service. Such brief excerpts would normally be free of copyright restrictions, under national copyright exceptions for quotation or fair dealing; ancillary copyright laws override this with new restrictions that uniquely benefits news publishers. However, these laws have swiftly proved a monumental failure. In Germany's case, publishers waived their new powers when the alternative was that Google would simply stop publishing excerpts from their news stories, thereby cutting off their most important source of traffic. In Spain, lawmakers thought they could prevent a similar result by prohibiting news publishers from waiving their entitlement to compensation. But this tactic dramatically backfired, to the detriment of both users and publishers alike, when Google simply withdrew its Google News service from Spain altogether."

Looks like the old trick of controlling who can have access to what information is making a comeback. Didn't they learn that it was a bad idea in the 1600's?

One of my early influences said it well.
"Those who want to control are OUT Of control."
It's always the same crap.
