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.

Hey the corporate greed that tanked things most and continues to leech the economy anemic is most of all in the "Finance Sector" and has no national boundaries. The same ones that manipulate here manipulate over much of the world and destabilize economies for fun and loads of profit. Say hello, Rupert Murdoch, AIG, etc, etc. They produce nothing and take well over half of everything. They have no real allegiance except to themselves.

What kills me is how many of the 99% support and emulate them out of their own greed. The Shark wants to be an Orca, the Tuna wants to be a Shark, the Salmon wants to be a Tuna, the Haddock wants to be left the hell alone!

Greed is not exclusive to any nationality.

This might well be true, but the USA is an easy target for those who don't care to think.
