<p>TAFTA, CETA, and TISA are far-reaching trade agreements which represent major threats to online freedom and create legal uncertainty for all Internet players. They set forth an ever stronger protection of copyright, patents, and trademarks. They are negotiated by unelected officials in a complete lack of transparency. They are found to "recycle" the most toxic parts of ACTA, the anti-counterfeiting trade agreement which was rejected by the European Parliament in 2012. This rejection followed the demands of European and international organizations and citizens, who campaigned and demonstrated massively against ACTA.</p>
<p>It takes a benevolent political and legislative environment to get Free Software Everywhere. We should remain vigilant and realize the traps and threats posed by these trade agreements. Our presentation will focus on the software aspects of TAFTA, CETA, and TISA. We will call for action against these global treaty projects and offer alternative proposals which favor Free Software Everywhere.</p>
