Large drug companies would be able to monopolize pharmaceutical market prices as TPP patent extensions would enable Big Pharma to stifle generic drug companies’ market share by prolonging generic drugs’ initial off-market time. This monopolization would create a lopsided drug market and cause patients to pay astronomical amounts of money for potentially life-saving medication.

The trade deal would bring new life to the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA). Corporations would be granted copyright protection for 120 years and free information would be commodified as trading information from paid sites would incur fines upon users. Internet service providers would be given excessive powers, as well. The TPP grants ISPs the right to monitor user activity, arbitrarily remove content, and outright cut off internet access.
