Coinbase has signed a letter encouraging congress to pass the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement. Reddit has been nice enough to pull out, now we need companies like Coinbase on board.

Contact Coinbase directly, let them know you feel betrayed: http://bit.ly/1pKOn0u
The TPP would:
Expand draconian copyright enforcement, undermining our privacy and the public domain without ensuring protections for free speech; Criminalize common practices like tinkering with or modifying devices, even for fair use purposes; Enable multi-national corporations to skirt the democratic process and use shadowy international tribunals to undermine Web users’ rights; Set a precedent that will encourage anti-Internet lobbyists like the ones who wrote SOPA to use trade agreements to push for bad Internet policy.
There are powerful interests pushing to get the TPP passed through U.S. Congress, and it seems like they managed to pull a fast one on these Internet companies and get them to take a position that goes directly against their own interests and the interests of their users.
Congress could vote on the TPP within a matter of weeks, and they’ll be watching closely how the public reacts to these companies’ statement.
If enough of us speak out, we can get these companies to drop their support for this dangerous agreement, and stand up for the rights of their users and the future of the Internet we all love. Please sign the petition and share this widely right now.
