[Advisors] Our fair deal -- TPP and copyright

Hello advisors.  I just came across this international campaign to 
object to the TPP.  There are peer-organizations from around the world.  
But this has never come up at TC.  Should we join?

 From the site

"Right now an international agreement called the Trans-Pacific 
Partnership (TPP) is being negotiated by Australia, Brunei, Canada, 
Chile, Japan, Peru, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Singapore, Vietnam, 
and the United States. The changes to copyright required by the TPP 
would reduce our access to information and restrict our ability to 
innovate, both on and offline.

Changing our copyright laws in ways that restrict the open Internet and 
economic opportunity are unfair to citizens, businesses, creators, and 
civil society organizations. Not only could such changes raise prices 
for users of copyright works, but they could also stifle our knowledge 
economy and chill innovation."
