The TPP is a step back for a variety of reasons (mainly that it is a terrible piece of legislation), but also because corporations are too busy holding onto the old economic model of selling their IP.
Copyright holders are losing more money trying to set up deals in individual regions to squeeze as much money out of consumers as they can. However the end result is that this is putting up barriers for people to 'throw money' at the IP holders for the content they wish to consume.
For example Microsoft Windows, is sold at a much lower price in Russian, than North America. People were trying to get their hands on those copies for obvious reasons.
Another are movie and tv services such as Netflix, HBO NOW, or Vudu. Different agreements in Canada and the US means that Netflix has different content in each country, or services like Vudu or HBO NOW simply are not available to Canadians.
In the case of HBO, Canadians really want to throw money their way for shows like Game of Thrones, but don't want to pay $100 a month for a top tier cable subscription (i.e. useless crap that grants the privilege of being able to buy an HBO Package) and the HBO package itself. Canadians even use VPNs and 'legitimately' order HBO NOW. However, VPNs are getting cracked down on, which leaves many simply to pirate the content, because they have no economical way to buy the content legitimately.
