Is it any different with EU?
AFAICT the people who get boned the hardest by USA lawyers are in the USA. But if you have factories and partners outside it is just a positive boon! And yet another industry closes doors or leaves the country while low-tax on investments goes to mainly support those who leave and the ever-lovin MIC.

Copyright is one area where criticism of the US attitude is not just anti-American hate stuff.
Just look at IL2. In most other parts of the world, including Russia, aircraft manufacturers saw providing historical technical information as showing a respect for history and even possibly a bit of publicity bonus. It was only in the US that companies saw it as a way of raking in more money.
What is especially interesting is that after corporate greed had plunged the US into a recession, the response was to bail out those same corporations with grants and try and protect others with counterproductive legislation like SOPA and PITA.
