Anime fans and Cosplayers could become Criminals by the Trans-Pacific Partnership!?

Anime fans and Cosplayers could become Criminals by the Trans-Pacific Partnership!?

Before you turn away and think I'm making mountains out of ant hills, I recommend you read the following article HERE and the article linked in said article HERE both of which referring to the current issue with the Trans-Pacific Partnership. 

Now you see the issue, if this new law passes it will royally screw any creative part of a fandom, NOT JUST IN ANIME!!! Any fan made artwork by fans of a show of an already existing Character (Again, not just anime) will be considered a crime even if the original owners don't file a complaint! But its not just art, any animated music videos, fan made songs, cosplay, fan made merchandise, or any other derivative work can and will fall under criminal offense. As well fan made subtitle groups will be hit, and whats worse is that the punishments will be too severe for the crime!

Luckily however a lot of people such as Mangaka (author of Japanese comics) Ken Akamatsu have been protesting the TPP's intellectual property secretariat. Many Mangaka see fan works as free exposure and have good relationships with friends. 

Tell me what you all think, is there any silver lining to this law? do you think it will pass? let me know in the comments below.
