Has there been a single report, story, or even rumor that the United States has ever used the NSA to assist american corporations in developing inventions?
Nothing in any of the snowden reports even hints at this - so I think your comment that "no patents have original ideas any more because of spying" is a little out there.
- sharpneli 12y agoThey do have plans for it https://firstlook.org/theintercept/2014/09/05/us-governments-plans-use-economic-espionage-benefit-american-corporations/ https://firstlook.org/theintercept/2014/09/05/us-governments... GP's comment is still far fetched. But US does indeed contemplate on starting economic espionage if they ever lose their tech lead.
- japasc 12y agoAs the link shows, its from 2009. Also as an example, its proven that the Canadian spied on Brazil for trade secrets. If Canadians do, for sure the principal do it also. And because the law in US forces you to obey secret courts with secret orders, you are never sure about the truth nor trust any claim from a US citizen/corporation.
