Latest TPP leak reveals copyright term set at 70 years

Latest leak reveals that the copyright term in the TPP has been set to Life of the Author plus 70 years.

This means an anime's copyright that was expired or about to expire prior to the 1960s.

It includes:

Kimba the White Lion

Mahou Tsukai Sally

Himitsu No Akko-chan

Chappy

Go Mach Go Go (Speed Racer)

Tetsujin-28 go (Gigantor)

And Cyborg 009

And only thing is. You can sing Happy birthday because Warner Bros lost the copyright.

ISP liability:  Requiring ISPs to kick users off the internet is no longer in the TPP. But the safe harbor provision of the DMCA in the TPP is restricted.

The TPP will go into force in 2018, two years after it's ratified by all 11 countries. However,  it will be difficult for Congress to pass it because.

- The ISDS safeguard was proposed by Obama, as praised by anti-tobacco advocates that prevents Big tobacco from suing countries who have current laws such as ID and age limit to purchase tobacco. Without this safe harbor, lung cancer in teens would skyrocket.

- 8 year drug data protection. Which falls short to the proposed 12 year, as found under US patent law. Senator Orrin Hatch, Chair of Finance Committee, would possibly vote against the deal.

- Immigration chapter as warned by Senator Pete Sessions of Alabama.
