Doesn't this/shouldn't this basically encourage countries like the United States to completely ignore intellectual property laws? If not, why not?
- AlphaSite 6y agoThe US has more to loose by people ignoring IP laws imo.
- happymellon 6y agoBecause then people would ignore their IP rules. Which would probably be pretty devastating for high profile things like Silicon Valley and Hollywood.
- caslon 6y agoPeople already do ignore US IP law. It's pretty much entirely ignored by the single other meaningful competitor in the world: China.
- happymellon 6y agoAnd the US is free is ignore Chinese IP if it wants to. But thats not what what we are talking about. This is UK IP.
- caslon 6y agoThe UK's production capabilities are more or less irrelevant. Why not just ignore it? It's not like they're going to suddenly become some massive economic force.
