This week on Feature Creep, we discuss the Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement or TPP. Wikileaks released the final draft of the Intellectual Property Chapter of the TPP. I went through the whole document and this is my analysis of how it will affect all of us in the game industry. In short, the agreement is very, very bad. The TPP Coalition, the companies lobbying for terms to be added includes such game related companies as Disney, Microsoft, Apple, Facebook and Time Warner and the MPAA. It talks about copyright term limit extensions, trade secrets, a DRM circumvention ban and the possibility of criminal prosecution for large scale infringment. That large scale infringement could occur without even considering piracy in the video game modding scene.

In the video, I reference some links which are below.
