The Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPPA) contains provisions that would legitimise 'spying' by Internet service providers (ISPs) on their customers, warned a researcher today.

Among others, ISPs would be given 'legal incentives' to cooperate with copyright owners to deter copyright infringement.
