In México there are pirate DVD operations on busy street corners and ads on teevee trying to embarrass infringers. The government doesn't care. MPAA wants to charge one full week's wages at the legal minimum wage before taxes for each single copy of a movie and the state is just not going to make people pay that. The IPAA people have to jail every digital device in China, India, Mexico, and the like to close their content, overturn the doctrine of first sale, and permanently deny all fair use. They won't be able to. Instead what happens is that technology development gets blocked in the countries IPAA runs. It's illegal to jailbreak, unlock, and otherwise innovate with cheap mass market technology in the USA. And that just means the Congress is sending the future to China. Or México. Or India. Or Canada, apparently, if this article is right.
