Not exactly a quote but a skim downed version of some text "Right of artist to ban broadcasts of their work (Streaming music) Each Party shall provide to performers the right to authorize or prohibit: (a) broadcasting and communication to the public of their unfixed performances, except where the performance is already a broadcast performance; (As mentioned below) Life + 70 year protection for music (a) on the basis of the life of a natural person, the term shall be not less than the life of the author and 70 years after the author’s death80; Banning the removal of DRM (i) knowingly 103 removes or alters any rights management information; Banning the upload of cracked/modified DRM material (iii) knowingly distributes, imports for distribution, broadcasts, communicates or makes available to the public copies of works, performances, or phonograms, knowing that rights management information has been removed or altered without authority, Earlier this section were some vague terms about establishing "reasonable punishment", but then boom -pre-established (mandatory) fine amounts In civil judicial proceedings, with respect to infringement of copyright or related rights protecting works, phonograms, and performances, each Party shall establish or maintain a system that provides for one or more of the following: (a) pre-established damages, which shall be available upon the election of the right holder; or (b) additional damages118. Pre-established damages under paragraphs (7) and (8) shall be set out in an amount that would be sufficient to compensate the right holder for the harm caused by the infringement, and with a view to deterring future infringements. Criminal prosecutions for Movie Piracy (sounds like it is targeted at the original "copier/cammer") Recognizing the need to address the unauthorized copying140 of a cinematographic work from a performance in a movie theatre that causes significant harm to a right holder in the market for that work, and recognizing the need to deter such harm, each Party shall adopt or maintain measures, which shall at a minimum include but need not be limited to, appropriate criminal procedures and penalties."
