If they feel counterfeit goods are an issue they should address that issue. Instead they are trying to hide favors to those giving American politicians great amounts of cash. Anytime the politicians chose to stoop to such measure they better be sure the central issues involved are not important – because they have sold out the core issues to grant favors to big donors.

I am not sure if big donors are buying as much favor outside the USA. They may be. I am just frustrated with what we know is going on and that is the USA using dirty tricks to favor their politicians big donors at the expense of other countries citizens.

Fair copyright rules make sense. The extent to which politicians have given away societies rights and ownership to big donors is disgusting. They have a huge burden of proof to overcome anytime they seem to be giving away more favors, due to their horrendous behavior over the last few decades in these matters.
