Would you do any different if you were in charge of a country and your people need to eat? "Sorry starving peasants, we must respect international IP law"?
- sprafa 7y agoFascinating story. Thanks for sharing. It does put the Chinese example into perspective...
- TheKarateKid 7y ago> Would you do any different if you were in charge of a country and your people need to eat? They do it, and most of their people still can't afford to eat.
