"Monica Horten, a visiting Fellow at the London School of Economics writing on her Iptegrity.com website, summarizes the

"Where it concerns the Internet and digital content, much of the TPP intellectual property chapter looks like a
cut-and-paste from ACTA. Certainly, it brings in similar secondary liability and criminal measures that were in ACTA.{...} However, there are specific new proposals that give more reasons for concern ... Within the Internet section, is a USA/Australian proposal that contains the core desires of Hollywood and the Motion Picture Association."
