- intended 9y agoWe would hope that American's, and the good tech informed people on HN, would recognize that the innovation in tech was done by tech firms, which is welcomed and lauded. But it is the unwholesome development and innovation in your political and lobbying fields, that is being used to set standards around the world. A vast chunk of problems today trace their roots back directly to the MPAA and the RIAA, and their efforts to stamp out piracy. Piracy which in turn was defined by a set of copyright protections which ensured that the people with the better lawyers and lobbyists now dictated when a good or creation escaped protection.
