And obviously biased. Everyone but the few hundred music/movie executives that stand to profit from this are biased. We have passed the DMCA and will ratify this treaty for benifit of a few hundred people.

There are 6 billion people on the planet and hardship caused to less than a thousand does not warrant an international treaty.

If it impacted a million people adversly, it would not warrent a treaty.
