A new leak of the part of the draft [ Trans-Pacific Partnership ](
https://stallman.org/images/trance-pacific-partnership.en.jpg ) shows that the US is pushing mass murder in the form of [ tightened patent power on medicines ](
http://www.commondreams.org/news/2014/10/16/leaked-tpp-chapter-exposes-sweet-deals-big-pharma-and-us-bully-tactics ) . This treaty does harm already, although it is still a draft, simply by using the [ propaganda term "intellectual property" ](
http://gnu.org/philosophy/not-ipr.html ) to lump together various unrelated laws. To repeat that term is to boost the confusion — and we don't have to repeat it. Since I identified the term as a confusion-spreader, ten years ago, I have not used it once. I will say that the TPP negotiators put the bogus label "intellectual property" on this chapter but I will not use the term myself.
