I suggest anyone interested in the US-AUS Free Trade Agreement issue
should browse through some of the comments posted on the petition, as
there are many arguments, opinions, and further evidence to be found :)

"The US has (naturally) been keen to promote the fortunes of its own IPR
holders; for example, it had extended the duration of copyright
protection in the US to continue protection for early Mickey Mouse works
whose protection was about to expire."
