Yes, we should certainly do what we can to oppose this. Assuming it passes anyway (and it likely will, given the suspicious nature of its secretive drafting), what would a future with TPP really look like? Most cryers will give you the worst-case scenario, but I think history tells us it won't be as terrible as all that.
In practice, I imagine this would be a lot harder to enforce than it sounds. People like Tamaki can simply fly under the radar and continue leaking info under an anonymous pseudonym. Just like any other law, if someone really wants to break it, they'll find a way.
Modders would have more to fear, but I don't doubt there are plenty of game devs out there who would respond to this ruling by publicly declaring their openness to mods tinkering with their games - like we've seen with the Youtube copyright-claim fiascos, big name developers quickly changed their tune when they realized pushing their customers away from what they want to do with their purchase is bad business. I think we'll see a sudden polarization between companies who love their modders and those who prosecute them, a few months will go by, and after the latter group looks at their sales figures and goes "oh **** we done goofed," they'll probably relax a little at a time, though still never quite being totally free.
That's how it is in America, at least. From what I understand, Europe still has a rough crackdown on copyright, with Germany remaining one of the most likely companies to block your video if it contains music a bot recognizes.

I may have missed that part... though I think cases like that would follow the same pattern as modders, though much faster. "Stop loving our product so much that you need to express said love to your peers for free" is the dumbest message you could send as a business owner.Apparently you could go to jail for making fan art.
So yeah I guess they could do that too

, where I've made her closer to her counterpart from Awakening by making her more of a speedy fighter and gave her more speedy custom moves, making her a quick but powerful fighter. (Her sword also heals herself just like in the source game)
