Copyright laws and the future of the United States.
 

Copyright infringement/piracy costs the U.S. economy $58.0 billion in total output and costs American workers 373,375 jobs*

US Industries have moved their factories overseas. US Businesses have outsourced hundreds of thousands of jobs. The global economy is definitely here. However to participate in this economy countries need to be held accountable. They need to enforce their own as well as international laws or face boycotts from all.

The failure to protect these rights costs the US billions it desperately needs. What some countries cost American music, film, porn, software, etc, companies is inexcusable. What we have to offer in the form of international trade is being stolen not traded for.

Only the economically naive fail to grasp the fact that intellectual property and economic growth are big keys to our standard of living, our future.

There's more important things to crack down on like gay marriage and the private lives of celebrities. Please try to keep up.

Fucking terrorists.

you really think if those rich ass companies were making more money, they would not try to save money by outsourcing? Errrr?

Those same companies, if they were making money hand over fist 10 years in a row, in the 11th year if they were hit by hard times, they would go bankrupt.. Don't think they saved anything in those 10 years to rescue their businesses if needbe.
