  Re:

  Seems to be framed as a purely copyright thing (http://juris.bundesgerichtshof.de/cgi-bin/rechtsprechung/document.py?Gericht=bgh&Art=pm&Datum=2017&Sort=3&nr=78497&pos=0&anz=87):
  
  "Die Klägerin sieht darin eine Verletzung ihrer Urheberrechte an den UdP."
  
  "views it as an infringement of copyright"
  
  But presumably that's also a convenient way to attack a whistleblowing site, as you suggest.

  Re: Questioin here

  Good question; presumably because ordinary laws that we lesser mortals have to follow don't apply to supranational ISDS suits - which is part of the problem.

  Re: ISDS question

  My understanding is that if a nation refuses to pay, the plaintiff is able to apply to courts in other countries that recognise the ISDS court's decision to seize assets of the government that loses. Here's an interesting story on this issue involving Russia:

  Re: Not Working

  I've just checked - works fine here, so maybe a local problem. Have you tried using a VPN to access it?

• On the post: World Bank Report: TPP Will Bring Negligible Economic Benefit To US, Canada And Australia

  

  Glyn Moody ( profile ), 14 Jan, 2016 @ 04:24am

  Re: Counting ISDS?

  My understanding is that this modelling takes no account of possible ISDS awards. So you're right: it is quite possible that the net effect of TPP will be negative for Canada - and many other countries.

  Re:

  Well, speaking as the author of that piece, I'd like to point out that the new rules on photos of objects applies to objects still in copyright. Once they are in the public domain, then photos of them will be in the public domain, as this BestNetTech piece says.
  
  The bad news is that instead of waiting 25 years after they were first sold, UK citizens now have to wait life plus 70 years after the death of the designer, before that happens.
