Does TPP spell the demise of the internet as we know it?

Only time will tell. This is from CounterPunch.  It is hard to imagine that even Google and some of the big tech companies would be for some of the things in this deal. Perhaps they're not. time will tell, but if we take what is being reported at face value, especially in the article linked to above, it might become difficult to spread information throughout the internet as we can today. Who knows, it might be useless to link to articles, as copyright will be very much in the way. That's if we are still allowed to link to articles at all. On the other hand, the end of the internet has predicted by doomsayers many times before, and somehow, it survives. We'll have to wait and see if it survives this time. The problem is, the people with real power in this world don't like our freedom.

1) Comments that I deem could be potential trouble for myself in anyway will be removed. 2) I decide the definition of "trouble."

Thank you for your patient understanding.
