Unfortunately, there are certain major manufacturing countries which don't respect copyright law, and constantly poach everything from startups to kickstarters.

- JimDabell 2y agoDo they respect patents any more than copyright?
- sweeter 2y agoI think copyright is counterproductive and destroys innovation more than copycats. Companies will evergreen patents eternally and then sit on it forever and either die out or become litigious trying to protect their patent. Just look at Disney with Mickey mouse, Amazon bought up the best text to speech system known to man and they literally don't use it at all, or look at the medical industry... They spend billions on slightly tweaking delivery methods to keep patents alive for decades. It's grotesque. Or the nemesis system in gaming. Those countries are not going to abide anyways (and I honestly don't care because this system is so messed up anyways, 5 years should be more than enough time to make your money) but instead we get rot.
